Ive been buying and selling on ebay for 5 years and rarely have any problems..Ive got 100 per cent feedback.
However this last week or two Ive had a couple of quite unpleasant experiences inc one seller who is sending me threatening emails!
Firstly
On the 18th Jan..I listed a washing machine on BIN..someone clicked BIN straight away..great..however I messaged this person through ebay to ask when they were collecting..it took 2 days for them to respond..buyer replied.."can I collect tomorrow evening and pay by paypal"..I replied yes and gave my address...buyer never turned up..paypal payment was not made
It got to the weekend with no response from buyer despite several emails..I got hold of their phone number and rang and left a message..no answer..in the end I opened a non payment dispute
Last night buyer emailed me saying sorry he hadnt been intouch he had been ill with flu..I informed him that I had re listed the item as he was a no show..I then get a really nasty email back
"Thats fine..but please close the dispute immediately and I will be leaving you negative feedback and reporting you to ebay for selling an item I had already bought..by the time Ive finished with you your feedback rating will be nil"
I emailed buyer back informing them that they had not in fact bought the item and their emails were threatening and I would be fw them to ebay..as yet Ive heard nothing back but notice that although I have attempted to end the dispute by cancelling the transaction..the buyer has not responded.
Secondly..I bid on a lovely moses basket being sold locally and won the item for the bargain price of ten pounds on sunday morning..I emailed seller to ask when I could collect (they had stated cash on collection)..heard nothing..I then sent about 2 more emails and even telephoned seller and left a message, they never got in touch...I started to wonder if they had backed out of the sale as the basket had finished quite cheaply..this has happened to me before...so last night after 56 hours had elapsed since I won item..I left neutral feedback saying they hadnt been in touch and succesfully bid on another moses basket locally.
Today I had an email from the seller which tbh is quite frightening..its a man who has said..he only works up the road from me and knows where I live..hes furious that Ive left neutral feedback, claims he did reply to my emails and has also threatened to open a non payment dispute.the email was littered with expletives..Im quite frightened tbh that someone is sending my emails saying they know where I live..Ive never had that happen with ebay before and being 26 weeks pregnant I feel quite scared
