I won an ipod on ebay on Feb 22nd. It was brand new. Seller had over 1600 transactions in a year with 13 negative feedback. He didn't accept paypal so did a bank transfer on Friday 23rd. I got an email from him saying that money had cleared on Tuesday 27th and that he'd post the ipod - recorded delivery...... nothing. Emailed him that weekend (March 3rd) - he was on holiday and would post on 6th (Tuesday). Nothing - emailed on Wednesday (7th) and he replied would post asap. NOTHING. Last weekend (10th) I emailed again and no have had no response.
In the middle of all this he suddenly is no longer a registered user - I think that was about March 3rd. Last week I started a dispute - he replied saying don't worry I'd get my ipod. Can't understand why he'd reply if he had no intention of sending the ipod.
That was rather confusing - sorry! I think I have given up hope now. How do i get my money back or can't I? Don't know how long to wait before I order an ipod from somewhere else. I think I'll order from somewhere reliable next time.
