1275 on ebay

Hi just wondering if anyone has advice??????? i was looking at a 1275 auto engine with subframe and all the needed bits to put in my mini on ebay the seller had a buy it now price then the buy it now was removed i mailed him and we made the deal through email and i told him it was sold i want it, then he mailed me back and said he changed his mind and waiting to see what the bidding brings i'm so pi**ed now ebay says nothing i can do as it was through email not through them so if i get no responce from him after making the deal, i will pass on his user name so people can beware of him as he is fairly local.....

dont get a auto .... they are evil !!!! and u will have nothing but problems.

from memory i believe he wants an auto cos he needs one

did any money change hands?

because of the british government and british law iam only allowed to drive auto even tho when i lived in canada i owned manual and drove one all the time. No money changed hands so i'm not out of pocket but i have been looking for a 1275 auto for a few months now and finally found one thats not 4 or 5 hours away but hey life is life
