    I will wait and see, it's all I can do.
  • To be honest it looks like the seller might be a victim of a smear campaign by rival sellers, if you look at the dates of auction end and date of feedback left. I know from the Ebay community boards that this happens a lot particularly with dvd sellers. With his feedback spoilt the seller might have decided to pack up using that id and started again, or just cut his losses and ran. If you receive nothing after 14 days file a non-performing seller report with Ebay.

    This looks really nasty at first glance. I wonder what the story is?

    All that feedback is a bit weird looks like the poor bloke has been shafted one way or the other.

    It gets me there is neg feedback from people who haven't even paid! How do they know they werenot going to get the DVD's?
    It is also quite plain by the feedback comments that the majority were very immature and why leave positive feedback with a negative comment??? Very very iffy feedback.
    I'm not sure looking at the sold prices whether it would be worth the seller doing anything dodgy he's hardly going to make a fortune - its not like the phone scams.

    Just got home from work and note another page full of reds with a few greens. This is just wierd. Some people have received their DVDs for auctions which ended after mine. It has, however, only been 5 working days including today for mine, so I will still wait...

    If the seller has been hijacked, that's awful, but he has gone silent and that's what's annoying people.

    I definitely think you should wait for 10 days if the seller has said in the auction that he would post items won within 10 days. It could be that he is away on a short holiday. He hasn't, after all, broken his promise (yet).

    I haven't read the negative feedbacks, but find them weird given the above:cool: . . .

    Leaves me with £84.66

    what a swizz

    I assumed this was a tongue in cheek take on the "Ebay / Paypoo ripoff" threads
  • It was....! I think we all know the fees involved, my issue here is that all the money we pay in fees seems to be lining thier pockets and not used to make ebay safe.

    For example there are threads on here about huge postage fees and ebya are not reacting, there are many fake dvds about etc etc....,
