its so so annoying when this happens
The fact that seller refused to give his address may have helped. Ebay/paypal dislike sellers trying to get clever, the same thing tends to happen if seller provides false tracking for an item not received claim or refuses to accept a return.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

It is scary what eBay can do, we sold an item on there, it hadn't arrived but was still within allowed posting days, the buyer put a dispute in and within 10 mins of it being opened eBay refunded them everything, we never got a chance to send proof of postage or fight our side. eBay doesn't seem worth the hassle to me anymore. I always refund if needed, but some people and eBay what the world.0

ebay said they couldnt help me because i was over the allowed 45 days...which is because the seller kept stringing me on.
Ebay have never really helped me..i had to ring a person who was highly abusive to me and ebay just told me to ring the police! I decided to let it go- in their eyes i had a refund...i wish they could somehow monitor ip address..it might limit bad sellers at least.
it does make me dubious of ebay..u never know who to trustNeed a new start..wheres good to live in the UK?!0 -
