Well that doesn’t mean he can’t choose to be a prat sometimes.

A friend of mine bought a laptop from the States from a guy with a similar rating. He was asked to pay by banker’s cheque or something.

So my friend waited and waited. The guy said the delivery had been rejected and that he was trying to resend it. Then he stopped e-mailing, closed down his ebay account and disappeared.

Rule is – don’t use ebay if you can help it.
