Ebay nutters

Turning to the broader situation, what sad and unnecessary thread. I really thought we were above that sort of thing here.

Chris - that's way out of line! You said it yourself - told to you in confidence! So you blurt it out on the internet. Please edit your post.

Deleted.

It will still show in yours though Carl.

Not so - I edited the quote but have now deleted it since Chris did the same.

Much better

I hope he is welcomed back at some point. Talking to him via PM has been great, he really is a nice guy. I can understand why he has been banned, but I'd like to see him back on here soon.

Right...

It does pay to be extremely precise with the descriptions etc, with regards to everything on the Bay, like this

Graeme has always been a gent in my dealings with him.
I had a few odd looks just now from fellow train passengers when I laughed out loud at Hunnymonster's poster post.

Now that's comedy gold - the description of the sellers' girlfriend is especially amusing!:icon_lol:

I still wouldn't ship to Poland though.

Gents,

Hopefully everyone has had a chance to chill a little, let's remember that there's a language barrier going on here and online translators aren't exactly reliable when it comes to written English. Plus various ebay sites work in slightly different ways.

I know from first hand experience that most continental European ebay sites send the ebay seller (where ever they may be located) an email with the buyer's details before the PayPal checkout process is complete.

What doesn't help is that most of these sites won't let you delete the primary address (the one used when the account was first opened) and for this reason ebay tell sellers only send to the address on the completed PayPal transaction.

I may be wrong, but is it possible that MajorTom sent to the address on the ebay email, rather than the PayPal email (with the correct address) unintentionally as he was unaware of this. Add the language barrier into the mix and suddenly you have the whole sorry situation above unfolding.

I've had many, many dealings with Rasierhobel and have found him to be an honourable and trustworthy person. Just me throwing a bit of balance into the situation.

P.S.
God only knows what Google translator writes when I send messages to French and German sellers :blush:

I always find Mailinator exceptionally useful on such occasions!

You make the assumption that every transaction is straightforward and doesn't involve replies... and that replies are reasonably instant

You can log into your mailbox on Mailinator and it lasts for 30 days. It's just that anybody else can too!

... a bit of common sense... I'll go with that!

You really expect to find some common sense amongst a forum of people who collect shaving stuff

LtB, not sure if that was a genuine statement or a jokey rhetorical question./?
