I know there's plenty of timewasters out there but is it fishing gear that tends to attract more than usual?
Reason I ask is I've sold non fishing stuff on ebay and FB Marketplace and apart from a few idiots things usually go well.
I've not tried Vinted yet, I might give that a go.

Sold 2 Delkims years ago on eBay. 29 days after receiving them buyer claimed he had not received them and opened a case and demanded a refund.
The buyers written English on the mails was very poor slang at best. Did a bit of research via the web and he had served 5 years for trying to rob his local shop. He got his head kicked in by a few customers and the shop assistant.
I managed to get the proof of delivery pic from the Royal Mail which included someone at the door taking the package as well as the surrounding brickwork around the door and front window.
Got onto Google maps and zoomed in on his front door and all the brickwork matched with the Royal Mail pic. Sent evidence to eBay and cases closed.
Most of my transactions run smoothly but get the very odd bad one.

Years ago I was selling something, a guy rang me up and said he thought it was overpriced, so I said OK mate ill knock something off,
he said 'oh I don't want to buy it just thought I'd let you know it was overpriced '
As you say how can they be bothered, have they nothing better to do  
Crazy bar stewards

It absolutely makes me rage... especially ebay.
I sold something and it said collection only, then cue some stupid low ball offers from someone which i knocked back. He then goes on to bid and win the item and messages me asking to post it... to Cambridge (I'm based in Manchester) i refused due to size etc.... next thing im reported and have to pay the ebay fees... i relisted it and he did the same again. cancelled account and came off ebay for good second time around

I share your pain. Just the way of the world at the moment.... I also think people think you're desperate to sell stuff and almost want you to give it away. There are some good guys on here tho. Bought and sold some gear recently and had a positive experience as buyer and seller. I have noticed less interest if you state no haggling.

Ebay is horrific, what I don't understand is why they waste their own time.
