    I bought some shoes for £18.01 and they were described as 'worn a hanfull of times but in very good condition'. The postage was £6.50. There was only one photo of them.

    I received them today and they have clearly been worn more than a handfull of times (which I assume means they've been worn between 5 - 10 times as that's a hand!). There's wear on the inside. The postage was also only £3.38...

    I've asked her for a partial refund of £10 and said that I would give positive feedback if she agrees. Otherwise I think I'm going to open a case against her. I wouldn't have bid that much for them if I knew what they were going to be like.

    I've been offered a refund of £6.50 for the postage and been told that the wear could be due to them being worn with medical insoles - but even so, this should have been stated on the advert. I'm pushing for a £10 refund, because I don't think it's fair to me as a buyer. Not that I'm the most amazing seller in the world but I do expect the same standards to be shown when people are selling to me.

    that could be viewed as feedback extortion
    as such any FB you left could be removed by eBay at the sellers request

    I thought you couldn't leave feedback once a case was opened?

    Thats great news, i was just going to ask if anyone knew when the next one would be.

    I'll just wait till the weekend to relist items that didn't sell during the last one.

    Got a few listings ending today and am hoping to see a few actions towards the ending as i've got quite a lot of watchers of some that currently has bids.

    fingers cross am hoping to a few hundreds

    I have a problem. Someone bought something from me and I sent it recorded delivery. After he paid he left feedback saying thanks and that if I had anymore he would be interested. However, today I arrived home from work to find the parcel had been sent back undelivered for the reason "not called for".

    What happens now? Do I need to repost it? If I contact the buyer and he wants me to send it again will I have to pay the postage or will he?
