[Quantum Owners] Re: Doors on 2+2
Suggests that at least your door seals are in a pretty good nick.. As Jim says, just coat the seals with something that will discourage moisture settling and freezing. Neat washing up liquid if you don't have any silicon grease. Neat washing up liquid on the interior glass will also help prevent the car from misting up inside. Or if you Rain X the exterior glass (it will make deicing easier) you could use that on the seals, should do the trick.

[Quantum Owners] Ebay auction cancelation charges.
From another forum I’m on, it now seems that if you cancel and end an auction that has bids on it you will now be charged a final value fee based on the highest bid received. I guess this is to close the loophole where people list an item and then negotiate the sale off Ebay, then cancel any bids and end the auction.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Ebay auction cancelation charges.
Always the way with ebay They try to amend processes with ways to line their pockets What if you do genuinely have your car nicked when up for sale? About 6 years ago I was unlucky enough to crash a car that I had for sale on ebay with about 3 days to go and bids up to £1200 (I can laugh about it now ….. just) consequently I had to cancel the auction and call the scrap man, so in this instance I would be £120 out of pocket to add insult to injury?

Over the years the UK government has refused to eliminate road tax cheating by simply transfering the tax to fuel and instead has inflicted other measures which result in the tax payer paying even more. I think Ebay have gone about solving their perceived problem the right way but I guess they might have made plans to meet exceptional circumstances. BTW one often sees the phrase seller reserves the right to end the auction early as the 'whatever' is advertised elsewhere. Does this have any effect at all?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Ebay auction cancelation charges.
I suspect your case is probably unusual (though that doesn't make it any better for you), and unfortunately there may be a significant number using (and abusing) the system to their advantage. I can understand why they've had to implement this. I think (unless I've got it wrong) that there is a £75 maximum final fee... It grates a bit when you see an ad where the seller is obviously getting around the fees and just using it as a free advert service - eg a car for 1p, and when you read the ad they say if you bid you'll get a dustcap, but please come around and see my car and buy it Unfortunately Ebay don't seem to notice these? or do they get rid of a lot we don't see?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Ebay auction cancelation charges.
I can understand why they are doing this and in some ways I agree as I have had auctions pulled from under me as the highest bidder and it is annoying to say the least. However there are certainly other areas where they are failing. As an example I bought a car recently and when I went to collect it the rear bumper had been scraped in a car park that day, it wasn't there on the pictures so was probably true. I negotiated a reduction in price and was semi happy as the car was definitely not in A1 condition as it was described, but I purchased it anyway so that is down to me. A few days later I received a request from the seller via an Ebay case saying that he wanted to cancel the transaction listing the reason as : hello Russell,would you mind if i cancelled the ebay transaction,its nothing dodgy,i'm just trying to get some money back for what i lost on the scratch/scuff,if you allow it i will get some of my fees back, thanks, You then have so long to agree or not and if you say nothing the transaction is cancelled. In the meantime I had left neutral feedback stating the car was not as described and they had the evidence of what the seller was doing to get his fees back in the case that was opened, I did not respond to the case so it was closed in the seller's favour and he got his fees back even though the car was sold through Ebay. So they still have a lot of tightening up to do.
