Why do people advertise stuff, take your money and then inform you 48 hours later that they don't have the parts and they will be on a back order. I won't be getting my koni shocks in time for my MOT so now have the hassle to cancelling the order and sourcing them from elsewhere. Thanks for nothing demon tweaks.

I've dealt with minisport as well before. I am happy to deal with them at the shows but I will never order from them online again.

its always an important bit too, like a gearbox thrust washer out of stock for a kit they send out, so you can only build a little bit untill its in stock 3 weeks later

What a*****e worked on my car before I bought it. I swapped the rear two springs on my vectra and found the ones I removed are not a matching set. One is a lowering spring and the other is a OEM replacement.

Just had a bit of a stupid moment. I kept thinking that the information I was reading didn't seam right and then realised I was reading the Uncyclopedia page version.

Every time I see my mpg drop I remind myself, I'm not wasting fuel, I'm just recycling dinosaurs.

Actually, it's probably zooplankton. I learned that at school. I don't know what a zooplankton is though. Might be a dinosaur.

I know that oil is usually from plankton type sea creatures but it still makes me feel better.

I have someone on ebay wanting to pay by Visa Electron and not by paypal or any of the other options listed on my advert. Should I be suspicious? The person asking has 0% feedback currently.

Granny and sucking eggs and all that but whatever method he pays by eventually done dispatch goods until payment has cleared in your bank

Good plan. It's the time wasters that cause all of the grief. They win the auction, make excuses for days and then pull out meaning that you could have sold to somewhere else. when i used to sell laptops on there, i only accepted immediate payment otherwise it would be offered to the next highest bidder, Its the only way to keep things running smoothly

Its a home made EGR blanking plate worth about £3, most of which will go towards the postage of it. About 75% of my feedback score is due to selling so its not the first time I have had problems with a buyer but this is the first time I have had them offer to pay via another means. I generally deal with second hand car parts. I tend to by a job lot of bits and then sell the rest on to cover the cost of the one piece I wanted out of it.

Dropped a piece of a Morrison's Bramley apple pie. By the time I found it I was over the 20 seconds limit where it was safe to eat it. :(

A very wet day spent at Cosford LMA. Atleast I got a deal on model fuel as I bought so much.

I was planning on buying 10L of optifuel 25% for my MGT 4.60 SE and glow plugs, but it can wait given it will cost over £60!

Given your experience with R/C planes, are they difficult to fly/land?
Jul 19 2014 05:11 PM -
M J W J
They aren't kid's toys as people think they are. It takes the average person 6-12 months to learn to fly one given proper tuition. They can KILL if you hit someone which is why you are supposed to have 3rd party insurance to fly them. Most students when I teach them roll the thing over and put it in a dive the first time they try and just do a basic turn.

My Eibach springs for my vectra have finally arrived... over 2 weeks late! DO NOT buy from a company called Rudiemods on ebay. Their customer service is terrible.

YAY!!! Another a**hole I have to deal with on ebay. I posted the comment this morning that I had someone ring me 6:10 am this morning wanting to know where their part was. It was delivered today within the time period advertised and now they are claiming it doesn't work and demanding that I refund them and pay for their MOT as they are going to miss the retest.

The part was the indicator button for a mondeo mk3. The problem the guy says he has and "is because the switch is knackered" sounds like a faulty flasher unit not the switch. I mark all my parts so I can tell if it is mine and not his broken one sent back. I have asked for it to be returned so I can test it. I always do and its amazing the amount of times you never hear anymore. He's not the first person to try it on with me on ebay and he won't be the first that I have won a...

WOW. Some people have no patience. I got a phone call at 6:10 from someone wanting to know where their item was that they had bought off me on ebay last friday. Luckily I was awake eating breakfast but I only sent it sunday and it takes 3-5 days for the courier to deliver. Give it chance

Why have you taken so long to post that? You got the call at 6.10 and it's now 12.56. Why??

I'm never going to use parcel force again to send an item. Used their quick quote system to find a price, when it came to actually send the item they want 3 times as much despite nothing changing.

Parcelforce are useless, Sent a Ridley noah RFlow carbon road bike frame with them, beautifully wrapped with fragile all over it, paid for cover to it's value £1700. Arrived the other end with the rear triangle snapped and a boot imprint on my box. Parcelforce would not pay out citing it was an irregular shaped parcel..
