Because I paid via paypal before I collected he gave me £12.50 in cash whilst I was there arguing with him (I never got the item). I then went home and opened a dispute and got my paypal money back so it cost him £25 in the end.

Wrong I know but...

LOL! Brilliant. Good for you

How about you actually find out what the facts are before assuming that I am "one of those" ebay sellers. Where exactly did I say that items didn't arrive & I tried to blame the seller? I know perfectly well what the law is thank you.

I quote: "I stopped using it because I got fed up of the number of people who wouldn't pay for first class/recorded delivery and then got stroppy about any problems."

Seems pretty obvious to me.

Definitely wrong.

You can't surely think it right? :eek:

Ebay used to be lovely years ago. But now it seems to play out with bitter and twisted people who leave negative feedback it appears just for their personal amusement.

Then those who claim they never receive items....

As someone who does check out the feedback on eBay before I buy, it's usually pretty obvious when negative feedback is malicious. I'm not put off by the occasional negative.

Of course, if every tenth feedback a seller gets is negative, I would suggest that the seller is the problem, given that there are many, many eBay sellers who manage to maintain more than 99% positive!

My own experiences with ebayers rate from excellent to downright infuriating. Much like everyday life really.

I've had a few good ones through selling for work recently.

Buyer bought an item, emailed at 9:30PM asking if he could have it for tomorrow. Yup, I have my teleporter right here.

Selling a replica plastic gun from a video game, had a question asking if it "worked or something".

Ebay has been crap for about the last 7 or 8 years, completely different to what it was when it started.

I can't understand why anyone would use it now. Members sell things that are about double the price one can find in a shop!

It's bizarre.

You should've replied: "Yes, something, definitely something".
