Colin, you seem to have plenty of time in your hands... Just move on and tell them to stuff it.

And I will quote a friend, as the sentence seems to be appropiate:

"Never wrestle to a pig. It gets you filthy and pleases the pig."

You're right, I do have a lot of time on my hands as I'm still off work and unwell.... it's only because I work in a customer service environment that I love watching companies like this dig themselves a huge hole, so I kinda enjoy the challenge. I'll argue over anything if I feel they are trying to give me BS answers, which is clearly what they've been doing.

I do love the phrase you said though, I'll have to remember that one :lol: Luckily, I enjoy being filthy, so we'll see if e-pig can continue to wrestle. :wink:

:shock: Vector Sigma! Even my own mother can't do that, Time Traveller! :lol: The members of this forum should not dare hope! I didn't even realize the way that looked! :roll:

@Galvatron: I thought you had an onboard detector for this type of thing! Next thing you know Time Traveller is going to be stealing your trademark phrase!

@Sunstorm: Have you tried to find a 1-800 number to talk to an other place representative about your Megatron problem or maybe writing a snail mail letter? Maybe that would help more than e-mail tag if you can do it.

I think someone mentioned it, but your auction probably got pulled because some evil loser reported it, not feeBay seeing it and pulling it. I had the same thing happen with a a KO Optimus I listed as a "KO Transformer".
Anywho, if you re-list him, you can use any orange thing (marker cap, for example) to put on the tip. I've even seen people you a paint program to put an orange box on the tip.

well, one or two further e-mails were traded here (i'll get round to posting them) and as a result, I'm currently unable to find a G1 or MP Megatron listed from UK sellers, only international ones are appearing on ebay.co.uk. I had quite a snotty reply from a guy calling himself Brock Landers (porn star name Dirk Diggler chose in Boogie Nights, they couldn't get that past me :roll: ) which I followed up with a very simple e-mail from me, pointing out what they were doing wrong for one last time, and I haven't heard from them since, but I have seen the removal of the items from UK sellers at least. I just wanted them to understand that they can't quote a policy at me when they were blindly enforcing it with probably less than 1 in 100 violating auctions...

I'm yet to find out whether Brock Landers really was his name, I suppose I could ask if he was still friends with Chest Rockwell :roll: :lol:

That is why I don't got to ebay. They charge too much anyway.

Does anyone know how to use paypal since I have it now? Does anyone know how to do google checkout. Is bidpay similar to paypal? Has anyone heard of the site called Americanmoneyexchange.com? It might be called Revolutionmoneyexchange but not sure.
