[DevilishDonna20x]

i won a cricket shirt on ebay but now its saying that the seller is no longer a registered user. i send him a msg asking if i would still get the item once i had paid (supposed to be sending PO on thursday) n he said yes i would.
what shall i do? i really want this item but what happens if i dont recieve it?
please help

Realistically, if it doesn't come, there's not a lot you can do..you could always try to sue, I suppose! But I suggest not 'borrowing trouble' as my mad old mother used to say. He's said you'll get it, email him and ask him when he is going to post it (politely). Winding yourelf up with 'what ifs' is not going to achieve anything. Give him time, don't just assume the worst. If he doesn't send it, you can always do what I did when a woman ripped me off over a christmas toy for my son...sign up the email for all sorts of porn and stuff. I also had her address as I paid by postal order. You can guess the rest. [evil]

You have no come back if he doesn't send it.
In fact you have no cover by sending a PO even if he was still registered.

I'd say only post the PO if you don't mind losing it

Ok. and reading it properly I see you haven't paid yet.

Well, then I wouldn't bother going through with it. No sense taking the risk - unless he's close enough for you to collect?

If he lives close to me, you can send me the money and I'll collect it for you. I bet you could find someone on here who's near to him no matter where he is

That's if you really really really want it.

Personally, I'd just look for another.
