I bought DH a helicoptor from these people over a week ago and it still hasnt arrived. I need it tomorrow as his bday is thursday and we are leaving for a day out first thing in the morning. Yesterday I emailed them, got a very non committal reply back so emailed them again have not heard from them - today's post has arrived and it isnt in it! I am soooooo freaked out!! Have been searching for a phone number for them because they are a proper business not a private seller but I cant find one.

The link above asks for an email address/password to track an order but every one I have tried doesnt work and I wasnt aware of having a password with them anyway????

PLEASE help do you know how I can get a phone number from them??? I am quickly running out of time!

If you lodge a dispute with EBay, I think you may be able to get their contact details. I'm not deffo sure about that though.

Hope you get this resolved xx

Have you tried clicking the 'forgotten password'? It might just generate a new one for you. You've nothing to lose.

I don't know what the repurcussions are for either party when you lodge a dispute. But someone I know put a car on Ebay and he started getting garages phoning him up asking him if he'd sell privately. It turned out the garages lodged a dispute to get his telephone number.

I managed to find the password they have assigned me so have logged on to the website. It says item was shipped on the 26th. But clearly I havent had it. That is all it says and I still cant get a phone number. Have sent 4 emails today and 2 yesterday if I havent heard from them within the hour I will lodge a dispute. I am so gutted. I really really need this for DH's special birthday present. Am so upset.

I am calling them now!!!!! Thank you!!! Will let you know how it goes.

Oh

Well thanks VERY much for the number but its just a machine telling you to email them then it hangs up. Thanks for trying though.

I got a shit automatically generated email from them in reply - how do I go about lodging a dispute?

tried to open a dispute - you are only allowed to if its been over 10 days since you purchased. So even though they are not communicating with me at all I cant do anything about it til after DH's bday.

Hiya Eeny hun,

Did you pay via PP?? If you did you can open a dispute direct with them even though it's not been over 10 days, I've done that before!

(((((((hugs))))))

no Tomorrow is the last day it can arrive before I need it. I am starting a dispute via paypal as soon as the postlady delivers the daily post and that isnt included. BUT am hoping hoping hoping it WILL be included!!! I so badly want it. We have been having a really hard time lately as a family and I have planned Thursday out to the minute to be the nicest family day in ages.

(Just to clarify) hard time with the family stuff isnt relationship problems its money. I literally sold loads of stuff to pay for this present for my DH's birthday. I lost my job etc etc and am studying to be a childminder but havent got an income at the moment (obviously besides DH's but that doesnt cover all our expenses) anyway. that is all besides the point I just didnt want anyone thinking I meant we were having relationship problems when its other stuff. This present was just supposed to be really special. Oh well. I guess its out of my hands!! Will let you know tomorrow if it arrives or not!
