ebay buyer with no brain then decides to complain that it has not got the bottom part and have I forgot to pack it

I think your second picture does give the game away!

Maybe some words in your description to add to the picture that says "TOP ONLY", just to cover you own backside would help all those foolish people who only look at the first picture they see on Ebay!

but then a picture paints a thousand words and the buyer had 7 days to ask a question if he wanted to .
will add to description so retards can understand it next time

I think you have every right to be frustrated..... I have stopped selling things on ebay. Seems most buyers can never read they never look and they only see what they want to see. If you say "collection Only" does that mean you offer a price for postage?!?!?!?!

yes it's all the aggro that goes with it
customer opens case ,item not as described,I then respond, paypal delete funds from my account,customer then has to send it back for refund
I then hope its in the same condition as I sent it.
would rather give it away to someone on the forum than let him keep it for free.

From the description I would have expected it all to be there, and I would have expected a seller to point out it was not all there. But I can see both sides of the argument.

I would of thought it was complete the description does not say otherwise, the picture shows only one part but that's probably or obviously not enough information.

For that price Alan I'd expect you to deliver it to my workshop, install it for me and then buy me a beer of my choice...

Good grief! I was bidding on that and must admit I thought it would be complete! Not sure about eBay, but in our contracts the description takes precedence over any pictures.

I recently bought "Set of (two) hoses for Stag LHD Power Steering". I received a set of hoses for RHD. Only when I then delved into the differences did I then realise that the picture was indeed for RHD hoses. However, due to the crystal clear description this took precedence over the pic and I was reimbursed.

Nothing in the description says that you only get what is in the picture.

will step down on this one
good to see other peoples views

just my thoughts on Ebay in general;
What I found helpful as a buyer is as full as description as possible, remembering what one person understands another doesn't.
As many photos as practical, so the item condition can be assessed more fully.

Oh, and if you take photos, make sure you are not naked when taking them, in case there is a reflection; see post on 'that badge doesn't look right' !!

your lucky alan my experience with ebay is they would have expected the rest of the car as well
