Paid £190, stupidly, for jewellery, by bank online bank transfer, now they are ignoring me totally and nothing has come in post!

[goodnanny]

Won a bid for a lovely ring and didnt have enough in my paypal account (diff bank) so i stupidly paid for it by instant online bank transfer to their bank. Before i paid the sellers were as friendly as anything and answering all my emails immediately, but since i sent the money, NOTHING.
now i have sent 9 emails asking if they got the money and when will the ring come? No response at all. its been 3 weeks, so have opened a dispute..
Still no response.
the little f**kers have had me. What to do??

small claims court

will it cost me though? do you ebay-related dispute or just usual court?

do you want to post the sellers name here?

Is that allowed? half of me is still hoping they have gone on hols and had no access to a pc..
BTW their feedback score was 100%, thats why i wasnt worried about paying. But looking at their feedback it shows its all for buying (little bits), rather than selling.

or you can post the item no, just so we can investigate it a bit if you want. or you can do an advanced search yourself and see if they have been bidding/selling in the last couple of weeks.

ok the item no was 160103689405 (i think)

this is their first sale and they haven't bought anything since october. it's strange, maybe they are away hopefully.

if you do an advanced search you can access their phone number and give them a call.

thanks for looking for me. i did look myself but cant seem to get a phone number. i do feel like ive been done over!

I hate to say it but my gut feeling is that you've been had

I think Ebay has to give you the phone number - you can request their contact details in the case of a dispute.

don't give up yet!

advanced search on the top right

then find a member on the left hand column, as a buyer they'll email you their phone number

Hurrah!! just received very apologetic email from seller saying they'd moved house and forgot about my package and will post it immediately..
do you think theyve been reading this thread??!!

Seems very spooky that i dont hear from them for 3 weeks then i post on MN and a response appears asap!

good! wasn't me let us know when it arrives

Phew!

Wasn't me
