Help/Advice needed

in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
Hi all
I ordered some GHDs from ebay on Dec 10th. They hadn't arrived by Xmas so I contacted the seller. After a bit of comunication she emailed a postage receipt.
Everything on the receipt was correct except for the last three characters of the postcode. This was due to an error on my ebay account, but my paypal address was correct.
Is there anything I can do???

Many Thanks

Arran

    And then they turn up they will probably be fake.

    Genuine or fake, I would still like to be able to get them. If they are fake then I could do something about that. Just thought someone may be able to help.

    Open a full paypal chargeback today. The seller needs to prove delivery to your paypal address to win against you, otherwise you will get a refund.

    Why the hell is your EBay address incorrect?

    If I had a penny for every Ebay address that was incorrect, I would be very rich.

    Usually when people register they put their address on, then never change it.

    Sorry I'm with Hintza on this one ............. why on earth is your Ebay address incorrect???

    Good luck with the GHD's tho - I learnt the hard way and bought fake ones but luckily had a VERY genuine seller who had no idea that these are one of the most copies products on the planet and refunded my money + return postage. Splashed out and got a genuine pair from a reputable shop.
