Hopefully your first will be your last

Funnily enough, my first purchase on eBay turned out to be a bad experience but, thankfully, it has been my last (well, to date anyway and I registered in 2003 so not bad).

I'm not that bothered now, he either pays by tomorrow or i'm out, he's had the opportunity to pay as he's been at his PC to email me....he wants what I have, and he can get stuffed if he messes me about anymore!!!!

I'm getting tough!

So long as you stick to what the ad says then it should be ok. You always get arses though. I had a guy leave me horrible feedback for an item I was supposed to have bought and pulled out of. The item was in German. I can't read bloody German. I think it was some album but I can't be sure

He had me mixed up with someone else btw. How that happened I don't know

At least Ebay can see all the emails that have gone back and forth!

Bye Cagney, and thanks again!

My experience, albeit painful, was a purchase.

I should have heeded the old adage of 'if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is'.

I bought an item as being authentic but, when received, it was clearly fake and I asked very nicely for reimbursement and I would return the item.

After a week of receiving no response to my emails, I sent one last mail giving him 48 hours within which to respond or I would leave negative feedback.

No response - I subsequently left negative feedback and he immediately left the same for me stating 'she got what she saw in the picture so what's she complaining about'!

That made me mad. I took the matter to arbitration but that also proved fruitless so I eventually submitted a claim for reimbursement from eBay. They don't make it easy though as claims have to be filed via eBay in Germany.

By that time I was like a dog with a bone and would not let go.

After seven months and a great deal of chivvying eBay finally settled my claim. Didn't see why I should be out of pocket. It's their responsibility if they allow fraudsters to sell goods, not mine! I know 'caveat emptor' (buyer beware) applies but, even so, they allowed this man to sell fakes.

He did email me again once he had been banned by eBay stating he would only set up again using a different user name - SWINE.

19 other people came out of the woodwork once I filed my negative feedback against him. They had all been duped by this seller too.

I'm glad eBay have tightened up on selling designer goods now.

Sounds like he's getting a bargain anyway DD so all this griping about a few extra quid in p&p seems ridiculous. Silly man.

He's at work and will pay through paypal later!

I have a question about ebay too. I bought a memory stick 2 weeks ago and haven't received it. I contacted the seller twice, but no reply. What do I do next to get my money back? Thanks.

cologne...i have no idea, sorry! I'm sure someone will be able to advise you here!

Try to contact the seller again and ask whether they have proof of posting, make it a little sharp in tone and say that if necessary you will report this transaction to eBay. If no reply to that report to eBay and they will take it from there.

Thanks squiggle, I'll do that, although the payment went through paypal, I paid immediately after winning the item and had it confirmed by email. I noticed too late that the seller has quite a few negatives, all in the same vain as mine. You live and learn, I suppose.

Sorry devil, didn't see this in time. We're both green, I guess.

You are protected by Paypal, it might just take a spot of sorting out. Your weapon cologne is feedback don't be afraid to use it and warn others, good luck.
