 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
You're not a social worker by any chance Adrian are you? Yes of course, you can interpret figures and statistics in any way you choose to, perhaps to be completely fair only those that have had direct negative experience of him should comment - in which case my comment still stands!

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
As far as i'm aware accounts with negative feedback can be left dormant for 12 months (this is particularly handy if you have several accounts) - after that i believe they are automatically returned to 100% positive feedback - which i think is a little misleading. The previous negative feedback still exists if you trawl through the feedback, but *most* people will just take the 100% on face value & not bother digging deeper.

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
I've been quite lucky on ebay. Sold a lot of cars and motorbikes without a single mishap, I've had two or three very bad buying experiences though, but they were for relatively low value stuff.
Ebay isn't the greatest place for honesty as we know, so negative feedback should never just conveniently fade away. I'd also wager (as in my case) that a person forewarned might have avoided putting themselves in a bad position in the first place.

So of course, that must mean all those who have been scammed, ripped off or mucked about by him were all wrong? You can't blame those who've been conned by him for suggesting the outcome of this auction would be anything different can you?

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
That is so f*cked up I like it! You would need absolute balls of steel to drive around the UK though.
