    Did you collect it from the sorting office? Special delivery is meant to be guaranteed next day delivery, I have never ever had an item not turn up when sent SD.

    Tracking number is only on the recipe if you paid for tracking, ie. recorded or special.

    If tracking was not paid for, you don't have a tracking number on the receipt - just a random useless number that does nothing. It's just a proof of posting - no tracking, no tracking number.

    Edit: cross posted.

    Why did it take 20 posts before we heard it was Special? :)

    A. this was months ago
    B. I just moved
    C. I wrenched my rib cage off my spine the day before I moved
    D. Sorry I asked.

    YES! When you think of the hours and hours and days trying to sort this mess out!
    Instead of earning a living!.
    Still think people like this shouldn't get away with it. How many £17.00 add up if they do it all the time?

    It's basic.Get receipt from post office and has number on it. It's not rocket science,
    PO did not fail me . He was too lazy or just hadn't sent. Couldn't/ didn't supply number.

    so what number did RM give you?

    To be honest I just thought it would be wise adding you to my blocked bidders list.

    Nice remark. Have you actually read anything here or is that beyond your capabilities?
    I never rush in with negatives, Always pay up pronto and email politely and thoroughly accepting all sorts of mail or ebay problems before wondering nicely what's happening. All reflected in my feedback to date at 100%

    ebay and it's original culture of trust and community has become the preserve of predatory greedy sharks.
    Add me to your blocked list with my blessing Shanks. Sellers like you leave a very very bad taste to decent straight ebayers.
    Your ego issues are between you and your shrink frankly and neither my problem or this thread the right place to air them.

    Royal Mail didn't give me any number. They explained with care and attention what kind of number I should be looking for which should have included some letters before the number.
    The seller's response was a number which was nothing like that and the RM delivery office confirmed it was not a tracking number which would be on his receipt which he claimed he definitely still had.
    Despite relaying all this politely and at great length to the seller. His stock reply each time was ; HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION. CHEERS.

    Whether we could have agreed to withdraw the neutral is hardly the issue now.
    My accounts been compromised and I've had nasty emails under different names and dodgy phone calls.
    Frankly if sellers like this and Mr Shanks think it's their right to bully and harrass people personally because they feel they're such big ebay barons that no-one should dare to give an honest account of their dealings with them they need to be got rid of.
