I don't know whether I'm allowed to post this and I'm sure the Mods will remove if it's not ok.
I thought I'd just warn other A2 owners about my experience with seller repair_crash_repair.
Turns out this is a company called Bluechip spares. Wish I'd looked them up on the forum!
Now I'll concede that it was initially my mistake.
In my excitement having just bought my A2 I hit the BIN button on a cup holder without fully reading ALL the listing which stated 'cash on collection only'. Doesn't even say what part of the country.
I just spotted 'ask seller for postage' quote and 'usually ships same day' and thought no more of it until I was unable to pay without first requesting a total. I did this and the almost immediate reply started 'are you ignorant or blind?'
Well things went from bad to worse and despite all my attempts to apologise and make offers of payment via their 'debit car hotline' and have it collected by courier they were declined and the threats and abuse continued culminating in 'you're money and business aren't welcome' and 'we're only interested in international buyers who pay top money' etc etc.
This is the most abusive and arrogant seller I have come across in 16 years on eBay. I had genuinely been looking at their leather interiors but no more!
Turns out they are London based.
So, to anyone thinking of buying from this seller you know what to expect. Two days to collect in person with cash or else!
Hope this helps prevent someone making the same innocent mistake as me!
