ambient Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I bought an MXR Chorus pedal off a guy on eBay, and paid via paypal over a week ago. Still no pedal, and he's not replying to messages, emails or text messages (I got his phone number off eBay). I can't open a dispute though until the 5th May, because that's what they say is the end of the delivery between period. I mean it's only coming from London, though his address seems to be in Bristol ? Not happy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's disappointing, but hang fire - there may be a good reason, and open the dispute when you can, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben4343 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I agree, just be patient. I've had a couple of issues with no shows on ebay (one I suspect got lost in the system, one I think was more fraudulent) and both got resolved pretty quickly and entirely satisfactorily. The paypal/ebay system is really well set up to protect the buyer. Still, it's pretty irritating to wait for the resolution eh! Also, the guy might be having a really tough week, they happen. Fingers crossed it all turns out for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentalextra Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Is he a 'big' seller, or just a few bits? It seems that many people take a very casual attitude towards selling on Ebay; you may find he's completely forgotten about any listings and gone on holliday for a fortnight! Although I can see that this probably doesn't make you feel any better Personally, when I sell an item on Ebay I make a point of 'firing off' a "thanks for the payment, I'll get this shipped off to you ASAP" type message just to confirm all is well. But simple things like this that put a buyers mind at ease are obviously too much for some, and many sellers avoid any more contact than they feel is necessary Edited April 29, 2015 by mentalextra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well still no pedal, and still no reply from the seller. I think I'm maybe gonna contact my bank and get them to get my money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Open a dispute with ebay. I recently bought an iphone 6 from someone on there for a really good price. Of course there was no phone. He was still offering them for sale after I had been fleeced! I believe there were several other people who were done as well. Paypal refunded me in a couple of days. The seller had built up a good seller reputation building up excellent feedback selling cheap tat before reeling us in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
