Does Aussie have its own main auction site? We have TradeMe full of kiwis, Aussies and even American retailers have started up. I couldnt think of any reason to want to buy/sell on Ebay nothing to do with the site itself its the distance that puts me off.
We occasionally have the ripoff, one seller recently brought some fog lights for his 4WD, soon as he paid the $90 the guy canceled his account and changed his email thinking hes just got a cool $90 out of this sucker he apparently did this to 5 auctions all at once after they paid up. Tm told the buyer they dont give out personal details unless ordered by the courts & cause its only $90 they suggest he wipe it off as a bad deal and blacklist the seller
So he traveled 200 miles to get the court order then visited TM office and they had to give him the guys address details.
Turns up at the guys place that day & got his fog lights. Spent more money getting it back than what he paid for but he said seeing the look on the guys face was priceless
good on him i dont know though if i would be that deterimined over $90.
