Hi,
Earlier in the week I won a bike on eBay.
I’d arranged to pick it up tonight (he wants cash on collection). The seller has only been a member of ebay for 6 weeks and no significant sales. Alarm bells start ringing.
His username appears to be his name so I put the name and address into ebay and some worrying info came up. A few years back he was jailed for x years for burglary and it appears that the same surname was also involved in more serious crimes (might be family, might be him as the first name of this second person appears to be the middle name of the first person…if they are actually different people).
I don’t want to judge a book by it’s cover as people can change, but my gut reaction is to back out post sale.
So, if I did back out having already won the auction, what would happen on ebay?
Thoughts re the general situation? Am I being narrow minded?
Thanks.
