Bloody Ebay!!

i am really annoyed now!

as you know i sold my 400/4 on ebay on sunday night, i spoke to the guy who brought it and he asked me after the auction if it had a v5, i said no but i did and i still have the bottom park because the dvla lost it (which is what happened)

he was supposed to pick it up today and when i checked my e-mails this morning it said this -

if you havent got the v5 i am affraid that i will not be buying the 400/4 after checking mine i would not be able to register it im my name. if you can get it into your name and let me know i may still be interested.

sorry

but now i have spoken to him i have told him the situation and when he phones me back i will tell him that the bottom part of the V5 is still a legal document and if he still says no he is not buying it, i will tell him that he won the auction and that is also a legal contract and if he still says no i will sue him for the money.

bloody stupid people!

tbh i'd be a bit wary of buying any bike of someone who dont have the full V5 document.
In these scary times people dont wanna run the risk of parting with money unless they are 100% sure about the purchase they are making.

I'm sure if you got a new V5 from DVLA then you would have a sale with this guy.

i do undersatnd, if he had any questions he should of asked before he won the auction, not after its not my problem if he didn't ask the question

Did you say in the action that the V5 was present or not? If you left it blank then he can't squirm out of it. I think you can report him to Ebay, class the auction as 'report unpaid' or something.

He was surely expecting you to have the full documentation, just like you were expecting him to buy it with or without it...

There's someone around here with a signature that says it all, really. "Assumption is the mother..."

There is a tick box to declare whether the V5 is present or not. Its up to the buyer to clarify during the auction. Thats my assessment anyway.

Oops, didn't know about that one. Thanks for the heads-up, Kate, I stand corrected.

i left it blank and didn't say anything about the V5.
i did get a couple of questions about it and i told them the situation,

i spoke to the bloke about an hour ago and he is on his way to pick it up, (he did a check with the DVLA to see if it was stolen and its not) so he is happy.

but its not over till he's given me the dosh and driven off

Im with the other guy on this, a missing (bit) of the V5 is an important thing to miss on the sale advert, i know he should have asked, but when the info isnt there you sort of just presume you would have one.

Especially with all the stolen bits etc that no doubtebly (SP?) flaot around on ebay.

I think Spiderman is right, just send off for a new V5 from the DVLA, it usually takes less than week at this time of year, because not that many people are changing vehicles.

Why didn't you get the V5 sorted before you sold it? Then you would have saved yourself, and him, all this grief.
