4m x 3m Omlet pen, cube, new auto door still boxed and coop light

[moomperu]

I'm afraid my happiness was short lived. I've not won the yellow eglu. The man who listed it as "Buy it now" (and let me buy it) decided he will get much more money for it if he lists it again and lets it run to auction - hence he's told me I'm no allowed it and will have to auction with everyone else.

 

So...

 

1) No bunnies or bantams for me a the moment (the bantams were winning in the occupancy competition!)

 

and

 

2) I'd be very grateful if you could keep your eyes peeled. I know the eglu to cube swaps are like gold dust at the moment, but if you're in the South East and would like to help out someone who's very disappointed, then give me a pm.

 

Thanks for all the advice and helpful comments

 

(Could someone in the know shift this into the right category please?)

 

 

 

 

Yay! I've just won ~this~! Think I have got a bargain.

 

I already have a with .

 

Now, here's the quandry. Should I buy a conversion kit and fill the yellow eglu with lovely furry ? Or, should I fill the yellow eglu with bantams galore?

 

Your thoughts or other suggestions...perhaps not pygmy goats or the like!

I think you need a few cute bantams for it Remember you need to post pictures of it set up with its new occupants in.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Congratulations . That's quite a rare colour I believe .

[sandyhas3chucks]

hurry up please with the photos. please

[Egluntyne]

Congratulations!

 

Welcome to the Yellow Eglu Owners Club!

[sandyhas3chucks]

ooooo I want one! have to try & swap one!!!

[quickcluck]

Man it looks cools in Yellow

[The Dogmother]

How lucky

 

That looks like one of the original mark1's, so the conversion kit probably won't fit it.

 

Do you know which version it is? Here's a guide.

[atsw]

If you can't get a good look at the main door, look carefully at the egg-port hatch.

 

Mark I

 

Mark II

 

The Mark II is more 'pointy' towards the lower-left corner.

 

Both are excellent of course, so no worries there.

I thought that yellow one had sold

[The Dogmother]

Same mis-spelling of Omlet and photos are the same too

[Yolky]

Hm that is strange, it is all the same.

[Cooks]

maybe Moomperu wasn't happy with the purchase?? confusing!

[bellekatz]

See here http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=47047 - is he allowed to do that?

[Cooks]

no he's not

 

It does seem odd to say the least, considering he is now showing a picture clearly showing the egg port door, to help people realise it's a mark I, he's not going to get much more than was offered is he!

[Cooks]

Moomperu if he sold it through buy it now he has to sell it to you, he would be breaking ebay rules otherwise and you can contact Ebay.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

He can't do that, surely . I would definitely contact Ebay .

[Redwing]

Don't let it go that easily, he is breaking the rules please do contact ebay

[kimbo_frog]

I have a current appeal with ebay regarding a similar matter...

 

Report it and save any emails/messages he sends...

Had you sent any funds?

I had paid immediatly for my item and had missed other impending listings as I thought all was ok!!

 

so I had to cancel through paypal straight away!!...

 

the problem is that my seller and I think yours dont have much feedback,

so not likely to be bothered by account being closed etc...

 

I think I recall you have to report it through their query email section, as its too early to go through transaction method...

 

This is totally unacceptable!!....

 

Hope ebay k**ks his butt...

[Egluntyne]

You must contact ebay.....he is in breach of their rules.....and I doubt he'd get more than you offered for a Mark 1....even though it is yellow.

 

Cheeky beggar!

[moochoo]

Yes, get in touch with ebay. If he re-lists it file a complaint to get it removed until you get what you've won. What a cheek. He should've thought of that when he added the BIN!

I hope you've kept his e-mail saying why he wants to re-list it. It's good amunition.

You most certainly have won it. The bidding system works both ways, at the point you placed your bid you entered a contract to buy it, at the same time, he entered a contract to sell it. As others have said, don't let this get away, file a report with e-bay straight away.

What a horrible thing to do. You must contact Ebay and I hope he doesn't get half as much as you would have paid, rude person he is!

[Cooks]

the seller is really not abiding by ebay's rules, and it was their buy it now price that only they can set??? whats the problem??? strange!!!!!

[CottonCockerel]

He is VERY naughty and now I'm going to ask him the question WHY he didn't sell it the first place? wonder what his story will be....

 

Probably find it isn't all that great either as most people take proper photos when selling something that expensive not far away shots that give little away.....

 

Almost merits a large bid and then to withdraw from buying at the end and when he asks for his seller fees back just say sorry I pressed the wrong button and make him PAY.... infact this could happen more than once , If only I wasn't such an angel

 

tee hee

 

I won an eglu on Sunday on a buy it now for £275... miraculously they too had managed to sell in just a few minutes prior to me buying it.... it really grates but hopefully it's a blessing in disguise.... some ruthless members can make ebay really really stink at times!
