Read this item title and try and decipher what is for sale here:
Honda ATC 70,TRX 70 ATC70 Rear Fender Nice ! NOS
I read it as being an NOS Honda 70 fender, and got very excited. They low buy it now price threw me off, but I opened the auction anyway, and it turns out the dude is selling seat foam! (Item # 458262097 by the way)
This is what I emailed the seller:
Is there a specific reason you fool people into looking at your auctions by listing a piece of foam as an -ATC70 Rear Fender Nice! NOS-? In what way is this foam an NOS fender? Please list differently, as it's annoying, false advertising.
This was his response:
Maybe you should learn more about E-bay.
Its states exactly what you are bidding on in the auction ! To answer your question ....The seat foam is made to fit A OEM fender and Nos is in the listing for NOS buyers that want a quality fit!
there are many items listed this way....so dont wast your time e-mailing people if you dont know what your talking about....If this auction was misleading way did you write me ? You must understand it is for the seat foam only !!!???
This was my response to his response:
I'm not wasting time, and of course I understood - AFTER OPENING THE AUCTION. I emailed you because I was looking for a fender for an ATC70, and so your auction came up. I understand that if you put other subjects in your title it will help your listing pop up more often, but YOU SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE -SEAT FOAM- IN YOUR TITLE, so buyer's time is not wasted when looking for something. If you read your title is is misleading. If it said -ATC70 NOS Rear Fender Seat Foam- then we could have avoided this problem. You should also think about what you write before replying to a perspective buyer. Your reply was WAY harsh and clues me in on the kind of customer service I will receive when working with you. All you had to say was -Thank you for the comment, this will be considered-. I see nothing wrong with helping people clarify their listings. Most people are happy I take the time to assist with their auctions. Good day. James
What do you guys think about this situation? I personally HATE IT when I'm mislead into opening somebody's auction due to a poor title... Let me know... James
