Reasons To Be Careful When Buying Goods On Ebay
- 1. Reasons To BeCareful When Buying Goods On Ebay
- 2. I decided towrite this article to warn everyone using ebay what can go wrong for the buyer when the goods do not turn up.
- 3. Recently i wonan auction on ebay which was luckily for me at at a low price which is a relief after what happened next.
- 4. After a weekhad gone by and no goods turned up, i contacted the seller by email, a few days passed and no reply so i wrote another email a bit stronger this time to get an answer hopefully.
- 5. Still no answer,so i decided to file a dispute under ebay's policy, ten days had passed since i had paid which is required, i stipulated in my dispute that i had contacted the seller twice with no reply.
- 6. Ebay sent mea message stating it would be another ten days until they could judge who in their opinion is liable.
- 7. They sent theseller emails asking for their response to this filed claim against them. I was able to watch the proceedings of the claim via my paypal account under disputes.
- 8. After a furtherten days the seller had not responded to the file against them and i thought i had won, this was confirmed by paypal but then the reality hit home in their message to me.
- 9. It stated thateven though i had won the claim, they could not guarantee my money back under ebay policy.
- 10. I then gota message a few days later stating they had tried to recover the money from the seller but there were no funds to recover for me from the sellers bank accont.
- 11. Basically if youpay by paypal which i thought was an insured payment service, if your goods do not turn up then you are more than likely not to get your money back.
- 12. The only exceptionto this, is if they are a power seller which most sellers are not.
- 13. So i gotno goods and no money back, i wonder how many more people have been stung by this from ebay before?
