Classic British Flight Sim

Well, fair do's to them, e-bay have now pulled the item.
It should be far easier to get done though.

Thanks very much for the heads up.

DM

Ah great

Just seem to take a while

Garry

sadly this happens all to often with freeware trainsim stuff as well, sometimes the seller re appears with a different username, it is a constant battle.

Hi Glen

There was a spate of this with FS at the beginning of the years and almost certainly happens a lot more than we think as it is down to weather it gets noticed and if the person reports it

It would seem to be an ongoing problem

Trouble is after removal it often turns up again under a different name.

That can be almost immediately

Oh...what I could do with a couple of bricks...if I got the chance


Garry

Heh, buy it, find out where he lives and get some "Web rage" going

I believe you have summed up the entire Ebay marketing strategy very succinctly there! :think:

AndyG

I'll second that!!

I had to pay some seller fees on ebay once, no problem I thought. Turns out my card was not "of the right type" to make payments, despite it being a card from a main uk bank, and I ended up having to pay via postal order, bloody useless.

Im glad this guy has been stopped anyway, its not fair on anyone when people do this, especially the guys and gals who have put so much time into producing excellent planes, and then dont charge for them.

Consequently, I hardly use ebay after that payment incident, and feel even less inclined to do so now.

Regards,

James.

(This is the right thread, not that other one :redface: )

I reported it yesterday & it's still there.
ebay are a disgrace. The seller doesn't even have to sneak back on in disguise.

Anyone else bored & fancy pestering ebay. You never know it might help.

Ebay have been well and truly pestered by me, I've just sent them a harshly worded message requesting it be removed.

Likewise
