isn't that a bit out of order? Like many others, I guess, I wonder why Skyhawk needs to include the word "autistic" in nearly every post (as well as on his sig line). But I don't have the right to criticise. Perhaps it's his way of addressing the issue. Let him come in and explain!


I felt the post was gratuitously dismissive and shading on nasty. People could similarly excuse their words because of conditions, culture, environment, abuses suffered..... then anyone can excuse any attempt at civility.



If I understood what this was about I would reply :)

IF you were Autistic you would understand WHY I post I am..............

Oh and whilst no one is calling you a liar people make "oversights" all the time in the hope they are not found out on sales sites ;)

Re: Unreasonable expectations,and outright lies.

I had one French buyer ( by the way my ebay is as an individual not a shop) who bought a used samsung video camera from me, HE lied to ebay for a refund saying it didn't, work and wow did he call me things, con man, thief etc. He left rude negative feedback, I was told to refund. I did.

When it came back I didn't let it rest I used it to make a video in a mirror showing it 100% working, he also said that "when he charged it it didn't work" then went on to say he never got a charger with it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sent the video to ebay and his comments were removed, I received a full refund and sold the camera again :) :) :)

Whilst you may post here out of annoyance there is only ONE post here, yours, I can't comment on the rest as there are always THREE sides to the truth the sellers the buyers and the reality

Sorry but I disagree with that there's only one.Reality.

IF there were tears they should have been stated even if only to cover the seller

That I can only agree with,but what do you then call wear and tear of a secondhand item?


No, if one had been 100% factual then tears would have been told about, by not stating them it creates dis belief in anything else said, that is fact. If I bought something that was supposed to be good condition and found tears then it was a lie

Wear and tear, scuffing, colour fading, abrasion, not tears or cuts see my ebay feedback image on 1,600 items, honesty pays

I don't agree with that as it leaves the seller wide open to abuse by unscrupulous win,win buyers.
We could,as buyers,all play that game.
Integrity or the lack of it is the point of the post,which seems to be passing us by.


No, as a long time seller I haven't explained fully, you post as many images as possible, tell 100% the facts but do not make the item appear worse than it is, be 100% honest don't miss out tears or damage etc, always post signed for and I always photograph it being packed and send those images, of course I wouldn't do it every time but if an item is a few pounds it isn't worth the bad feedback

When describing a used item one should try to exaggerate so the buyer is pleasantly surprised to find it in better condition than expected

Bank holiday, are people mad

I have never ever gone away on a bank holiday, it would drive me insane anyway being Autistic but are people mad to be polite

What the hell do people want to go away like sheep for on a bank holiday, endless queues on the road, herds of emmets like sheep all following each other, arriving at over crowded beaches and sites with people with children who don't care about anyone other than themselves, stereos, screaming ball kicking gobby families, upsetting others who may want quiet, then back to traffic filled queues on roads only to go away another bank holiday weekend

Now that finally the screaming hoard are going back to school WE will go away, ahhhh the peace and quiet
