eBay seller issue again!

Post by Rich-Allen1976 » 27 Dec 2023, 14:31

So I've been in contact several times with the American seller on eBay for that Robocop suit I bought last month, which was ordered 4 weeks yesterday ago and there's NO sign of it even being dispatched yet.

No response at all from the seller, should I report him/her/it?

I've just requested the money back, all of about £84, but it's unlikely they'll play ball, should i get legal on them?

I am aware of Google.

So I requested the money back and eBay have stepped in, if he/she/it doesn't respond by close of play on Wednesday (and it's unlikely they will), eBay will force them to give me the money back.

Result...as long as it happens.

It happened this morning, the seller didn't respond so eBay has given me the money back.

And may take action against the seller.

And this has taught me 2 things.

1) International sellers shouldn't sell on eBay UK
2) Always check any potential buyer/seller's feedback, if they have a LOT of negatives, don't buy off them or sell to them.
