Have any of you ever bought anything of them, I paid for a leather tub chair for hubby ob the 24Th Nov, after a few days when it did not arrive i contacted the seller who thanked me for my patience and promised it 2 days later, after waiting 2 weeks i have contacted pay pal to tell them goods still had not arrived they advised contacting owner and resolving this, yet again he promised to deliver with a £5 discount, which i replied was not good enough, anyway the long and short of it is still no chair i have now contacted Pay Pal and put a claim in, they have to wait for seller to reply and this could go on for 30 days, so beware if you buy anything from E-Bay, plus this seller has given me an E-mail and it does not exist.

Very Grumpy Granny now.

i once bouught a book and it came on time

I use ebay loads for buying and selling, I think you have just been unlucky because generally I have had a really good service from the sellers on there

Never use it before and don't think i will use it again Joy did the book have all the pages? lol

We use E-bay all the time and have never had any problems. Did you check the seller's rating? - it usually gives you a rating in the right hand top corner and look for anything that is almost 100% positive.

yes all the pages and in good condition
it was a book i started at school
but never finished before i left
and always wondered how it ended


it was called the rain on the wind

Hi Kathleen, never used E-Bay before this was first time so did not know what to look for, not sure i would use it again after this carry one.

Husband buys and sells on e bay and has not had any trouble.

Just my luck i run into the dodgie one then, Just so cross as chair was a chirstmas pressie.

I've never had a problem buying from Ebay, but I did have to make a claim yesterday through Paypal for a book that hasn't turned up, ordered back in November. Like you Granny, they've advised me to contact the seller but again like you the email address doesn't seem to exist.

Still I've learnt a lesson, if a person on a certain genealogical website not a million miles from here invites us to take a look at his website I shall resist, it's just a shame that person has to remain nameless.

Hope you have a good outcome

Mine is an expensive lesson Beejay £110 worth.

Oh lawd. I know Paypal are supposed to be very good on getting the money back to you but that doesn't help in the meantime does it

No i shall have to buy another and wait till money is refunded.

Good luck anyway,let me know how you get on with your claim if you can, hopefully if you can't get hold of your seller Paypal might sort it sooner than the 30 days

I will thanks.

I've been waiting now 60 days for a claim i put to pay pal, don't hold your breath,

I use eBay quite a lot; no problems so far.

My son in law nearly got caught out, though.

He paid £750 (Paypal) for a pair of speakers; they are a famous name and this seemed a bargain for his band. The speakers never did arrive, despite the seller's assurances that they were on the way, and Paypal refunded his money.

It looks like you have run into a bad 'un but as you paid by Paypal you should get your money back.

Don't forget to leave this rotter some really bad feedback!

I have left negative feed back, but if i could get my hands on him the robbing git that he is, he e-mailed me on E-Bay but i cannot contact him any other way, mind you that's no bad thing the mood I'm in at present. lol

RB don't worry i won't hold my breath otherwise money will be no good to a dead person. lol

you need to escalate the claim, you can do this soon after making the initial claim. Ebay has its own community boards and usually people on there are really helpfula and will give you some advice, I would recommend you give it a try

I think i just escalated the claim with pay pal not too sure on what I'm doing to be honest.

Will go and see if i can find board, do you know if I'm allowed to mention his name?
