I need some advice I bought a car on ebay and arranged to travel from Beverely to Cheltenham by train to collect the car. the owner was going to meet me at the station. as he only lived a short distance from the station

I had a call from him an hour and a half before we were meeting to say on the way to the station someone ran into the side of the car causing major damage.

I am a very suspicuois person as my first thought was oh he has had a better offer and doesnt want to sell to me.

Whilst speaking to the guy I asked him to send either by email or mobile photos of the damage,he hesitantly said yes.

I then had to buy another train ticket to come home.

I then sent hime a further email requesting photos within the next 3 days but have received no correspondence from him.

My question is that I am out of pocket by around £160 for rail fares £40 for insurance change over charges do you think I have any legal recourse to claim my expenses off this guy.

any sensble comments would be appreciated

I am sure that some of the SOGA specialists will be along shortly to advise you, but in the meantime, can you post the item number so that we can look at the seller's listing? There are significant differences between private and business sellers. Sometimes a little detective work is necessary to determine that a 'private' seller is in fact a dealer (no vat being paid or self assessment declaration to HMCR).

 

If you have not already done so, visit the eBay discussion board, > ebay motors here http://community.ebay.co.uk/forum/Ebay-Motors/2004 and you will see that there are many threads relating to sellers reneging on the deal and the sanctions that can be taken by eBay if you raise a non completion claim. The theme running through them is that the price attained was not high enough, or someone made a higher post auction offer. Many excuses are offered, 'engine blew up on the way to the Mot station' 'my dog chewed all the leather seats' 'the car was stolen last night and crashed'. Take your pick!

 

I am sorry that I personally cannot advise you, it is not my area of expertise, but others will be along who can.
