Ebay Problem advice needed please.
Posted: Tue 17 Aug, 2004 22.20
I bought an item off ebay on the 25th July and i sent the cheque off to the seller on the 26th of July the money was taken from my account on the 30th of July it's now the 17th of Aug and i have still not recieved the item i paid nearly £70.00 for this item .
After i won the item i did recieve a mail from him asking if i could send the cheque to another address as the one on ebay had not been updated as he had just moved so i did in all good faith.
I hadn't recieved anything by the 6th of August so mailed and asked him if he was sending the item he replied back on the 7th saying he had been away for a few days and he was sorry he was catching up and would get the item posted.
By the 14th of August still no item so i was realy hacked off at him by this stage sent a firm mail saying i wasn't that interested in the item now and he had until Tuesday (today) or Wednesday at the latest to either get the item to me or my money back of course nothing arrived today (Tues) so it will be interesting to see if it arrives by my deadline tomorrow (Wed).
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but he is taking the piss now and i'm realy furious at him having taken the money from me and probably spent it and i have not recieved my item i have paid for .
I have bought many things off ebay over the past couple of yrs and have never experienced any problems of this nature .
I note on his feedback he has had three negative things over the past two yrs and he has bought and sold a lot of things the negative stuff tends to be about either not sending money or not sending the item but there are only three .I know that ebay have a policy if someone has been ripped off they can claim back over £100 pounds and i intend to contact ebay if the item does not appear in the morning . Just wondered what your thoughts were on this and if any of you have experienced something similar?.
