An item hasn't been dispatched that I bought over a week ago, non-responsive seller, and I didn't do my due diligence beforehand - I thought their % was high enough - but from other feedback about them selling this type of item it looks like I probably won't be getting anything.

Parking Apps - Can you claim a keying error?
I parked and paid at a car park using the Ringo app. My trip
was extended so that I ended up staying overnight and the following morning I
went to buy another parking session whilst remote from the car park. It turns
