Start a dispute now?

Bought an item on Saturday night from a Powerseller, 98.9% feedback, a lot of negs for high postage, but it was cheaper than I was going to get it in town.
Today I log onto ebay and find the seller is NARU'd, but I've had an email last night saying the item was posted yesterday.

I paid by Paypal, funded by CC which I usually do, plus the fiver free I got from survey sites.

Soooo should I wait a few days to see if it turns up, knowing that I'm protected by credit card anyway, or should I start a Paypal dispute now?

  • I would start a PayPal claim - you can always close it if the goods come in.

  • Started the dispute this morning and the seller has replied saying he will "report me to ebay" (for doing the sensible thing and what they would recommend :rolleyes:) and ordering me to close the dispute now, which I refuse to do.

    *sigh*

    I can tell this is going to be anything but smooth...

    I would go ahead with the claim, if he is no longer registered then how is he going to report you?!

  • Exactly, and report me for what exactly? Covering myself?

    There's no way I'm going to close the dispute until I get my goods, and if that doesn't happen within a reasonable time frame (considering he said he sent it yesterday), I'll escalate to a claim.

  • After being extremely hostile, he hasn't sent the item, and this is his latest message in the dispute console:

    2 . i have not paid my ebay bill thats why it shows no longer user.
    3 game was going to be sent 2moro

    He's full of it, was it posted 'yesterday' or '2moro'?

  • God knows, I've given up arguing and escalated. I suspect it hasn't been posted yet, and I'm not going to argue with an idiot.

  • Well it's Wednesday and the post's just been and guess what? No game. So he's lying about posting it on Monday.

    Can you forward his messages to ebay,just to add to his record,along with non-payment of fees?

  • He's been NARU'd anyway so there wouldn't be much point unless he becomes reinstated.
