I've been selling off a large collection of those mini observer books which we don't want but some are collectors items. Most are going for £2/3 but I've had a few go for a bit more. Am posting via Royal Mail first class & Have got good feedback on all til last week.
Sold a book for nearly £4, with postage it was approx a fiver. Got sent a message via eBay last thurs, approx a week after sale ended saying item had not arrived - it was not a message from the buyer as they'd already opened a case without contacting me (seemed odd ). I responded saying it has been posted a few days ago (not quite a week but was posted the day that they paid) & to let me know if it hadn't arrived by the weekend. I knew it may be a scam but with using Royal Mail untracked first class there not much more you can do. Anyway, then get message at 9am sat morning saying book still not arrive. I didn't respond, thinking it was too early to tel given Saturday post would not have come. I then had full on weekend with family, was without any mobile signal or internet a lot of the time and only got on the case to sort it Monday eve. First I tried to claim with Royal Mail but not enough days elapsed yet. Then sent buyer message to ask if book had arrived thinking I would refund if it still had not. Only after doing that I noticed I got poor feedback already so I immediately sent another message apologising for slow response, saying of course I would refund if they could confirm book still not arrived and withdraw the poor feedback. Have since heard nothing. I know I was a tad delayed to respond but is this off? It's a small amount of money but I'd rather not refund if they keep the negative feedback
