I'll translate the feedbacks, but I'm beginning from the bottom (first one) to the top, words in brackets are my amendments:

Complaint: "Quote: Unfortunately I cannot by your Lego because I must
drive to Switzerland again."

Complaint: "What should one think of this (behaviour)?"

Complaint:"This does not work out!"

Complaint: "You cannot do it that way! (Literally: it doesn't work like this!)

Complaint: "Won 4 auctions, generously outbid other bidders, does
not want the goods."

Complaint: "Destroys the auction (by overbidding) and then doesn't answer (to my e-mail).

Complaint: Destroyed auction (by overbidding) and then kept silent.

I hope this sounds reasonable in English :-)

PS:

"Könnte jemand wem Deutsch gut sprechen kann mich helfen?"

should read as

"Könnte mir jemand helfen, der gutes Deutsch sprechen kann?"

....just for the record  :-)
