being messed about

Best to leave it for now and hope it turns up, when you eventualy get it just crap all over him with bad feedback. Make sure people know what an idiot he is. I did this when I bought a graphics tablet off Ebay, it turned up quickly enough but the pen wasn't working. After being mucked about something chronic I blew my stack and left him very, very bad feedback calling him a thief and telling everyone to stay away from him. As he had loads of others he was trying to sell he was in contact imediatley, his other customers where asking what it was all about and refusing to pay him. All got sorted out very quickly after that.

Go check his other items for sale, see what else he's trying to sell.

Also, although you paid through Paypal, where did the funds come from?, was it your bank or a credit card?. If it was a credit car then you should be able to claim it back from them instead.

**johntheace** · Saturday 18th October 2008, 21:32

hey stainsy how about a link so we can stay clear of the bloke ?

**Rufe** · Saturday 18th October 2008, 21:46

that's the thing with ebay in general, good bargains but high risks.

from personal experience i don't like paypal really, seeing as they expect you to post out items you sell before they clear the payments some times... and if the buyer doesn't leave feedback then it takes 21 days to get the payment, if they leave negative feedback then you don't get the funds at all. so you have to pay for postage, send to an unknown person and hope they leave you positive feedback. obviously this hasn't happened in this case, shame though as it would have been ideal for you this time. how they select the items that have funds held i don't know exactly, haven't really looked into it.

good luck stainsey, hope this is sorted soon

Has he got a LHS mirror? I will give him a couple of 19Ts at a good rate if he delivers it personally....

**stainesy** · Monday 20th October 2008, 19:33

ok have the blokes phone number and rang him. he is seemed abit caut off gaurd when i phoned him and said he is going to use his work van to drive 226 miles after work tomorow evening to deliver them personaly.

so will see tomorrrow weather he turns up.

fair play if he does but would you realy drive 226 miles to save £20 on postage? must cost more than that in fuel

**johntheace** · Monday 20th October 2008, 19:40

It probably won't cost him a penny, and will probably have a way of including it into work time/overtime
