    Messing with peoples cars is about as low as it gets and just highlights the perpetrator has some severe social inadequacies.

    If you have a problem with someone talk to them!

    Do what I did. Park somewhere that can be seen from your house & point a motion-sensing IP camera at your car.

    the IP camera is something I am probably going to do now.
    Unfortunately I can't park where I can see it form my house (layout of the complex).

    Ordered a new car, which is good right?

    Except it has a 12 week lead time.

    And my stupid Peugeot 206 rear axle is dissolving at a rapid rate of knots.

    Picking up a scrapper one to scrape by with but it is all a massive PITA.

    12 weeks lead time is not that bad, TBH.
    Have you tried shopping around, possibly around your area? I know that in this part of the world that SOMETIMES yields results (says the guy that waited 10 months for his car)

    Tried a few variations of the same car to see if there are any in other dealerships, came up with a fat zero.

    Wouldn't bother me if it wasn't for this stupid hunk of **** falling to bits :(

    No hot water/central heating as my boiler has low gas pressure. Blocked drains..... waste pipe is pretty much horizontal. Windows that I can't close as the handles have broken. Windows that I can't open as the internals have failed/perished.... my landlord has copped a frickin earful!!

    Some idiot moron, Couldn't follow simple instructions on ebay

    "Please send payment to this paypal address and not the one registered else funds will be held for 21 days and i really need them for postage sent him about 8 messages in total. When he finally pays he pays the money into the wrong account.

    Instantly refunded but now i've got to put up another auction and wait an extra day for the freaking thing to sell.

    Forgive me, but having dealt with some moron who messed up his paypal/ebay payment address myself recently, I can understand why someone wouldn't want to send money to a different account than the one registered- especially when ebay specifically says not to.

    You can change the paypal account details you have registered with ebay last time I checked ( how easy it is is another question... ), that way you don't have to ask people to do things which automatically make them think they're about to get scammed. If there was a problem with the item, or royalfail lost it, as soon as they try to open a claim things will get messy rather quickly as they sent money to the 'wrong' account...

    You can't however change the payment details after a auction starts and once it's been running for 2 days your damned.

    I offered to reup the auction as a "Buy it now" on my own very high feedback account which would pay straight into the paypal account i had asked originally but "nope", he wants to use the current one. :duh:

    That looks like a 206 to me!!!

    The very same thing that I'm guessing has happened to yours, happened to mine. Rotting POS those cars.
