What would you do if you bought something on ebay ....

[kitsandbits]

and had asked a question before bidding that was answered quickly,

bid, then won the item which you wanted to pick up - but for the next 24 hours there are no replies to your questions and

A - this was the first thing they'd ever sold - newly registered

and B- the phone number they gave ebay for buyers to use is fake?

have you paid? it's possible they're away form the computer. how do u know the number is a fake?

hiya

yes i paid through paypal

i requested her datails and rang the number and it says 'number not recognised please try again'

24 hours is not long. Give them more time, particularly as they are not regular ebayers.

ah right possibly she put a wrong diget in?

how long ago did you win the auction? as I say they could be away form the computer at hte mo - did it mention any thing about holidays?

Perhaps, but Im cynical of everybody, lol.

if you paid paypal you are covered as they need proof of delivery to you to have completed the transaction as a seller. That is usually why people want cash on collection and won't accept paypal - not just to save on paypal fees.

I know, but even if I am covered - it would still take about 6 weeks if she is a scammer to get my money back!

Am thinking of opening a dispute - just to covermyself, i cam close it as soon as she contacts me and I pick it up!

But if shes got the money in PP she may send it to her account the PP cant do anything.

last week i sold a silvercross coach built pram on ebay. i forgtoon i had listed it and didnt reply to the buyer straight away. i would be pissed off if someone started a dispute within 24hours tbh.

But I bet you have previous feedback and you details are fake.

If she had 30 feedbacks at 98% positive, then I wouldnt be bothered,

I just noticed she only registered last week, and has 0 feedback.

aren't - i meant!

would still hack me off.

she might be away over the bank holiday weekend.

aren't you trying to save for new tv?

i would be furious if someone started a dispute within 24 hours. in fact, i don't yink you can' isn't there a certain amount of time has to elapse before you start a dispute?

uhhh ive bought my new TV thanks

Looks like my instincts were right ... were meant to meet today to get the buggy and she didnt turn up - was waiting 40 mins.

Oh Dear I really do hope your get your money back.

With regard to paypal, you are necessarily covered, as I once bougth some dvd's for ds, a complete series £30 worth and I never got them, I filed a claim, ebay ruled in my favour but as the buyer didn't have any money in his paypal account which he closed, I got nothing back. Hopefully yours is not the case.

Do paypal not ask you to add a bank account to your paypal account so they can take fees, payment etc from it?
