Lads,
Just a quick note here about this guy. He posted last week and asked if anyone needed help bidding on ebay.de. I contacted him and we had phone conversation about what he was offerring which was basically that he would bid on ebay.de on my behalf. and if successful would post the tickets to me if he got payment via paypal. He struck me as a decent sort and i agreed to this. He was very good at keeping intouch about the various auctions he was bidding on. He eventually "won" 2 tickets beside each other, and contacted me. He was able to present ebay.de confirmation emails for the auction win and a paypal reciept from his transaction with the German seller. I paid him the exact amount he paid the German guy, plus €6 for postage to Belfast. The tickets arrived this morning.
He also rang me to work yesterday to assure me that the tickets were on their way despite what had been said on this forum and his subsequent banning.
I understand the rules for buying and selling on this forum, but when such a transparent paper trail is left by someone offering to help fellow fans by bidding by proxy on ebay, i feel that the accussations of tout and banning is a massive over reaction.
PS I paid €85 for each ticket and Setanta took the hit for the paypal transaction fee. Im sure if he really wanted to make a profit he could have taken the tickets to Stuttgart and stood outside the ground and got double that he got from me.
I think the lad deserves a break
Mick
