Ebay Advice Required :( UPDATE: NOW SORTED :D

[FernandoDuarte]

Good that it was sorted out! :)

[dave_mc]

thanks :)

Glad to hear it got sorted out for you. One of the reasons why I don't bother with EBay : too many flakes...

There are good and bad on there.

I've had experiences of one of each on there in this last week. The good one sorted out an issue I had with an item within 1 hour of me contacting her.

The other won an item on and then when I started chasing her for payment came up with some sob-story about paypal locking her account and that it would take time to sort. I said I'd be prepared to wait a while as long as I was kept notified. It's at this point that she started to try an manouver out of the deal, saying that she couldn't make me wait whilst paypal was sorted out and that it would be best if we mutually agreed to cancel the sale. I pointed out I also take cheques and cash, but then she came back stating that all her money was in the paypal account and she couldn't pay me otherwise and again stated it's in both of our interest to cancel the sale. I said no and reported her for a non-payment. Amusingly she then started stating it was my intransigence and people like me on ebay who ruin it and that she was leaving and never coming back. I think it essentially boiled down to her realising she's paid too much for something. If she's had said that to me, I'd have probably been a bit more understanding, however I'd have still disputed it.

Too late, it's already happened.

(Have you seen the film Idiocracy?  It's not very good, but I think the concept is sadly accurate.)

[shobet]

Yeah, I was going to say about the movie, but I didn't think anyone would get the reference. Gatorade anyone?

[dave_mc]

yeah i was disappointed in idiocracy, considering how good office space was.

Well, the seller has opened a non-paying dispute, so let's hope ebay is as good as its word.

I've only ever done a "mutual abandonment" dispute (or whatever it's called - sounds like a divorce case), where the buyer had forgotten he'd bid on my guitar and didn't want it any more.  That went very smoothly.

[dave_mc]

Thanks, that's good to know, although from the looks of it he'll be unwilling to do that.

I'll email Ebay again just to see if there's anything I need to do.

:)

EDIT: funnily enough, he's only opened a dispute for one of the guitars... might that be because I originally paid for one of them, but then cancelled the payment (on his instruction), and ebay thinks I've paid for it? :? I mean I've checked my paypal account and the payment has cancelled ok (i hope :lol: )...

[Philly Q]

If I remember the dispute process right, every time there was something to be done, by me or the buyer, there'd be an email/message from eBay.  It was like communicating with him, but with eBay as an intermediary.

[dave_mc]

oh yeah, sure, that's been my experience with it too, but the problem is that the next step is for me to send the payment :lol:

Though obviously i know better because it's an automated process and ebay has told me that i don't have to. But it's still slightly disconcerting.

Anyway I've emailed ebay again just to be sure I'm going exactly by the book.
