    I like Snorlax

    Reminds me of a panda. Big belly, sleepy and likes to eat a lot when it wakes.

    No offence or anything but what adult buys Pokemon??

    Much the same reason as why I collect vintage bottles I'd imagine. People collect all sorts of stuff that others would see as being pointless and stupid.

    A mate of mine has an entire room of his house covered with beermats and he rarely even drinks.. Another has an attic filled with virtually every Airfix model plane produced in the 70's & 80's and would never dream of letting his kids play with them. Once you start collecting particular items it can become a bit of an obsession.

    True enough. I just think its the fact that it's kids stuff that makes me find it a bit weird.

    recently ive turned away from ebay as sellers are always wanting a bigger cut,its supposed to be a bargain auction house,and its anything but!best decision i made was turning away from ebay and paypal the fees even for sellers are extortionate..not worth doing business there,you know what you should try...ioffer.com far FAR cheaper,or done deal.ie or madbid.com

    I ordered some car parts from a guy in England a few years ago, for about €30, and he gave me details of a PayPal account to transfer the money into, which I did.

    I never did get the parts, and then found out that the PayPal account was linked to an Ebay a/c where some woman in Portsmouth was selling downloadable naked pictures of herself and her naked female friend.

    So basically, I paid for some wanker to get down and dirty with his hand, and my name is mud for buying porn, even though I never downloaded any of it.:(

    Once you have clicked to agree with paying the listed value. It's binding in terms that (A) that you actually purchase said product and (B) that he sells for the listed price at time of sale.

    If these PM's were were on E-Bay report him. They will liaise with him and have the products shipped for the initial price agreed.

    Gotta love the irony of people posting on a forum calling other people nerds.

    OP - report the seller for being an arsehole.

    Can someone tell me what the fuck Pokemon is? I see it all over the internet and they seem to be huge, or at least they were, and have no idea what they are? Is a game, cards you collect, a cartoon, or what?

    You're either really young or really old!

    was just looking at Rambo knives on there today, ended up reading about Gil Hibben knives and replicas, theres about 3 manufacturers of them but only 1 is authorised.

    It's like that whole Brony thing. Each to their own and all that but it just freaks me out.

    Errrr, he wants the stuff.... if you think that is freaky, you need to get out more.

    Not like it is a severed moose's head he is after. :rolleyes:

    If you're over the age of 8 and buying Pokemon stuff on the internet you deserve to be ripped off tbh.

    What would you say to these adults! :pac:

    It's not too bad, as i don't think kids are into Pokemon anymore, I think it's just the original generation who still collect them..

    However THESE were made as a toy, for children, and my Nephew loved them. They shot up in price from €3.50 to €20 because of adult collecters. :mad:

    To make matters worse, they don't even take them out of the feckin packet. They put them in a box or on a shelf... IN THE PACKET!

    Needless to say, My nephew stopped getting them when they shot up in price.

    The hoarding instinct is strong, but don't let it take over, particularly when it's going to line the pockets of a gob$hite.

    I stopped using ebay a long time ago for both buying and selling. The antiques section has gone to muck. They've driven away all the small sellers with the interesting stuff in favour of the large volume sellers with 'buy it now' prices.

    Ya that what I am NOT!!!

    Read my feedback, We never agreed on anything so how could I send you an invoice for $145???

    You are new to eBay (July) and I have been on eBay for 11 years and selling for 7 years.

    I will not be lied about by a newbie!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

    It's possible he opened a new account. Sounds like you're trying to take advantage, because you thought he was a "newbie".
