my sisters friend is in a bit of a pickle, he won a bid for a camera on ebay costing 709 euros, payed the amount but never received the item.
He has sent numerous emails to the seller but has not had one reply. The address of the seller seems to be fake because i cnt seem to find it anywhere : Montcliff Cresant
City State
LONDON
NW9 8TX

here is the link to the item : http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=7614600378

the seller doesnt seem to be registered anymore.

whats the 1st step to take??? please help:eek:

was it paid by credit card?

as the auction is over a year old now, its too late to claim through Ebay/Paypal...

Doubt your be able to do anything now.

As pennylane has said that's well over a year old now and it says the seller is in france yet you have a UK address.

Why has your friend left it so long to do anything about it?

Looks like your friend has been stung big time then and after this length of time I doubt even the police would be interested in help.

Sorry to say it but it sounds like the best thing they can do now is learn from it, take it on the chin and move on.

Lets just hope there more careful about future purchases and go through more reputable sellers.

Reunion is a French department so not even sure who has jurisdiction. The seller will be long gone.

So need to put in a claim with EBay if they are NRU then ebay must have been involved.
