Item not as described
We recently purchased a coat for our daughter (19 Months) as she goes through clothes too quickly to justify spending a lot of money on them. When we received the coat it had a large dark stain on the back of it meaning that it would not be possible for my daughter to wear it. Contacted the buyer who said that there was no…

D1 jiffy or mail lite bags
Just gone to buy a new stock of jiffy or mail lite bags and I am shocked at how expensive they have suddenly become. I was paying about 6-7p an envelope previously and now my usual places are more like 12-13p an envelope. Has anyone else any good suppliers who are sub 10p on a size D1 in lots of around 200? Thanks

Ebay allowed overseas bidder when I had set them to be blocked???
Sold an item for aprpox £200 last night. Winning bidder them emailed requesting I provide shipping charges to the USA, even though the auction says "Post to: United Kingdom". What's more I have the option "Block bidders whose primary delivery address is in a country I don't post to" set in site preferences. I contacted the…

Overseas buyer wants to cancel - stating currency conversion too high(!)_
Hi - I'm just after a bit of a "what would you do" advice Sold an item last Wednesday - highest bidder was in the USA and has over 1000 feedback (mostly selling), so not exactly a newbie. Her bid was placed the day before the auction ended and remained the highest bid from then on. The total due including postage was…

"spares or repair"
I recently won an ebay aution for a camera which was described as "spares or repair" in the heading. In the decription, the seller said it was in full working order but wouldn't power up because it needed a new battery. I would have liked to try it with a new battery before paying but the seller doesn't do collection (fair…

Second chance offers.
It rather annoys me when the second, and even third place bidders almost never want the item when I send them a second chance offer (after a NPB wins the item). Why bid if you don't want to buy it? I've been unlucky and had a fair few timewasters, so given that my settings are tight, I have had first or second time…

exclude non paying bidders
Just a plea to sellers to make sure you have your seller preferences set tightly, in particular to exclude bids from people with non paying strikes. The quicker poor buyers realise that strikes are actually something to be feared, the quicker buyers will be to make sure they only bid if they intend to pay. I had a non…

Bought car on ebay - different colour etc
Bought a car on ebay without going to see it first (yes, not clever). Seller (an apparently innocent young girl) kept trying to get me to pay by paypal in advance but I declined. Anyway, on Saturday they asked me to pick up the car from a garage rather than a home address (some story about it being kept there in friends…

PayPal Item Not As Described dispute
So, I've had my first ever PayPal Item Not As Described case opened against me (I'm the seller). I have already said to the buyer (some 2 weeks ago) that I would be happy to refund if they returned the item. I'm not sure that I have responded properly to the dispute - I clicked "refuse refund" and wrote that I would…

Can anything go wrong with a bank transfer?
On another thread I raised an issue about a possible scammer I was dealing with. It is actually the same situation, in this case they are paying by bank transfer and require immediate dispatch as part of the terms. I wondered as a general issue if anyone knew of any possible things that could go wrong with a bank transfer.…

Leaving neg feedback and not bothering to contact seller
Thnakfully I am an observer in this, however over the weekend watched as a relative posted on Facebook that they had received an item (clothing) on ebay, were not happy with it because it was covered in pet hair and it was bobbly. Immediately, the replies of friends were all saying that they should "leave neg feedback"…

I recently bought a collection only item on ebay which i'm picking up next Sunday as it's a 2 hour drive away. I fully expected to pay in cash on collection, however they have asked for a paypal payment before they give me their address etc. which doesn't make sense to me as they will be incurring paypal fees etc when they…

It has still not arrived, I let the seller know on Friday and they've offered me a full refund, and to let them know when the coat turns up.
