I have signed up just to post this.
I have had a dealing with this guy. The short story, sold a car (Saab) to him, it was my friends car who had to move abroad but needed to keep his car until the very day he moved away, so he put it on ebay and I was just to handover the car to whoever won it.
Well...it was this guy wasn't it. It ended up in a showdown in a carpark as he took the train to come get it as he dropped a car off he sold to someone (poor sods), he wanted to haggle on the price he won the car for (bids on ebay), when my friend told him on the phone he wasn't getting any money off (quite rightly the car was very well advertised with all its faults) he got irate and eventually my friend gave in and gave him money off because he said he didn't want me getting hurt, honestly the truth.
The main issue with the car was the engine management light was on, this was due to a stretched timing chain and required a good £1000 worth of work to get it sorted. We even listed that we had tried a new coil pack on the cylinder that showed in the diagnostics and it was not the fix however it will come with the car because why not?
The very next day, he had listed the car as fault free, perfect example etc etc, I messaged him and said I was interested in this exact car but it had this issue and he replied saying the seller had provided the parts to fix the car. What a joke.
I reported to eBay and they didn't want to know and the car obviously sold to some poor soul.
I just happened upon this listing and recognised the same font and same writing and started googling. Can't believe he's been prosecuted and is still trading....unbelievable.
