Can you send me a link for that please?

Basically, I think i got too trigger happy, I lost out on the auction and i straight away emailed the seller to say, i was disappointed to lose out on the watch, if the buyer doesn't pay up can you sell it to me.

So about an hour later, he sent me a second chance offer to buy it. This buyer had over 300 feedback, (whether he paid for the watch I do not know)

Paypal really should make you be able to contact fellow bidders who bid on items.

Hmmm, that sounds very dodgy. Why is he saying he paid for the watch before he received the watch? Isn't this normal practice for eBay and everywhere else for that matter? You pay first, then you get the item. *Mimi is confused*

Ahh because I asked if went i sent the email that did he pay after receiving the watch or before.

I emailed the seller of the watch a good couple of hours ago, realistically, he should of shipped it today, because I paid for it 11am this morning, had all day to.

I sent a message to him to ship it today, earlier on and he said:

Hi dear to payment meet me today tomorrow dispatch send a parcell you 2,3working days meet you. Thankksss

not being racist, but sounds like i've been scammed here. Hi dear?

So by tuesday I'll probably get it, enough time for him to spend the money online or better transfer the money back into his bank.

I know someone who can verify watches if they are they real deal, so what i'll do is bring the watch to him (that's if I get it) and ask him to verify for me. Probably is a fake though..

aside from the fact that I do believe from the posts you've been scammed, I just wanted to pick up on something you said.

You said you paid for it at 11.00am yesterday, you emailed him telling him to post it yesterday and you commented he's had all day to post it - I sell on ebay and when I'm at home, if a payment comes through before I pick the kids up from school I'll post it the same day but..... when I am working and therefore leaving the house early in the morning and not returning until late afternoon/early evening it would not get posted that day just because someone paid for it in the morning - please don't assume that sellers sit at their pc's all day holding on to parcels ready to run out the door and post!

Likewise.

I often do my post run early depending on my work so anything paid after that will go next day.

Furthermore according to the feedback the other buyer did get it within three days of EOA - so even though it is probably fake, the seller doesn't have any problems with slow dispatch/delivery to speak of.

Regarding posting time - if someone pays up to about 4pm on Monday Tuesday or Wednesday I can usually get it that days post. But if they pay after 4 pm on Wednesday, it doesn't go until Saturday as I work on Thursdays and Fridays.

Most of my auctions end at the weekend, so it doesn't often happen, but I hate not being able to post for a couple of days

Oh come on OP, you can't be that naive? If that watch is real I'll eat my own balls.
