  • Good morning everyone:)

    :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Congrats to Murray he done it and I can't believe I actually watched it all and didn't get to bed until after 2.30:eek: I was falling asleep and turned the telly of at one stage intending to go to bed went to get a drink and things and thought oh I will just catch up I couldn't bare to go to bed maybe I knew he was going to do this time. It was a fantastic match by both players and I suppose we will always think Murray had the advantage with the extra days rest but Djokovich and Murray played out of their skins and took nearly 5 hours and only a couple of minutes under the longest time recorded in that competion. So well done to both players.

    Morning Everyone! :)

    Woke up to an email from an Ebay seller who says she can't sell for the price we won the auction for and wants more money. Told her where to get off! I have never come across this before.


    BL how infuriating:mad::mad::mad: surely they aren't allowed to do that seems like lots of people having problems with ebay recently puts me off using them. Good Luck with getting it sorted :eek:
  • Good morning everyone

    What a miserable cold day it is here, raining as well.

    Hope everyone is well.

    You can report her to ebay under the non performing seller rules. She will get a warning then, too many warnings and she will get suspended.

    You need to pay for the item, then you can leave negative feedback saying seller asked for more money than item won for.

    I had a go at a cleaning APG yesterday and messed up.
    Small A's near work is carp - hasn't got half of stuff I wanted in:

    Couldn't find:
    Domestos 24 Hour Thick Bleach Citrus Fresh (750ml)£1.12£0.53
    Mr Muscle Sink & Drain Active Foamer (2x250ml)£3.95£0.53
    ASDA Lemon Fresh Thick Toilet Cleaner (750ml)£0.75£0.55
    Cif Bathroom Mousse Citrus Burst (500ml)£2.50£0.53

    Only managed to find:
    Flash Strong Weave Antibacterial Wipes (60)£1.98£0.53
    buster bathroom plus unblocker @ £2.89
    Added some other bleach (was cheaper at A's - aarrgghh!)

    Thanks CW. I've already paid - usually pay as soon as I've won. I think she will probably cancel and refund me but I will be reporting her to Ebay whatever. Such a shame - most people on Ebay are great.

    You need to quickly leave neg feedback while paid as even if she refunds you the neg will stand also she may try to cancel transaction to get her fees back by claiming jointly agreed not to sell. I would not agree to that sounds like she deserves to be a few quid out of pocket with fees if she wants to be naughty.

    No.
    Don't leave negative feedback until either, she refunds you, or she sends you the item even though she is not happy.

    Only leave negative at the conclusion of the sale, matters have not yet been concluded.

    She just might send the item albeit grudgingly (sp) and then you might decide to neg or to neural or no feedback at all.

    If she refunds you and then sends a cancellation request, refuse the request so she does not get her fees back. Don't just ignore the request as it will close in the sellers favour after 7 days.
