i can only imagine how annoying it is when you are let down,especially when you have lost money over it.

i just cant understand why they do it,if we see something and really want it,then we get in touch with the seller,if its something we're not too sure about,we have a think about and then, if we decide we want it we will get in touch.i would never puprosely mess people about.
i could never do what alot of people do on here,arrange pick up etc and then not even have the decency to let people know we dont want it ,they should be named and shamed,but only if they have messed you around,obviously not when its genuine,people do have the right to change their minds,but it only takes an apology from then.

I have had tons of timewasters.. they dont bother me really.. unless i am holding something with minimal deposit for months...

it depends at what stage it gets to.. if its arrangements to come to my house and i waited in that would drive me nuts..

but if its just Pms then it doesnt really bother me.. I wait say a few days then offer something elsewhere... i guess it depends how easily annoyed you get

I have also forgotten to Pm people back.. luckily though for me I have a genuine reason.. I have really bad short term memory problems... if i realise ive done it i have no problem appologising though... its the least to expect.. out of respect really...
it still means its a pain for other people but at least I have a real reason

the thread IF started will result in arguements, excuses , probably very genuine reasons and a lot of stress for the moderators...

really not a good idea..

its a pain i agree but a massive thread of buyers and sellers arguing wil be a FAR BIGGER pain indeed,,,,
