The eBay rant thread

I bought an oversized jumper on there the other day BNWT, listed as new look & a size 10/12... Got it yesterday and its called 'club H' I didn't think that was even a boutique from new look? & its listed as a size Medium & Huuuge.. more like a 12/14.. I tried it on but it hangs off me... I don't know what to message her saying!

How long do you guys give a nonpayer before opening a dispute?

I usually message them a week after the auction has ended saying "It's been a week and you've not paid" then give them a few days to respond, then message again saying "If you don't make contact in the next 48 hours i'll be reporting you" and then hope they pay up, if not i open a dispute, so i guess all told i give them about 2 weeks.

I figure someone could have died, or they could have won the auction then forgotten about it and gone on holiday or something like that...but usually they're just arseholes

I don't understand some ppl on ebay - why bid if you have no intention of buying?

I had someone practically throw a bumbo at me out the door - she had on her account that she would not contact you until you had paid by pay pal... which I did - after sending her messages via ebay and email on her account....that she ignored. I know why as she didn't want to contact me, she didn't want to sell it at the winning price as it went so cheap 99p (I have won serveral 99p item and always pay cash but did paypal as that is what it stated in her auction so only did what she sated) well she should have set a reserve if she didn't want it selling for 99p - her description of it was hilarious - no wonder no one else bid on it.

I could not sell on ebay - I could not put up with the c@@p some people put sellers through.

just googled "club h new look" and nothing comes up.
tell her you know someone who works at new look and they said it's not from there
also say that it says MEDIUAM and not 10-12 at all!

i just open a dispute. normally gets them to pay!!

Can't believe some of the things that people have the cheek to sell on Ebay. I've bought a few baby bits from there and generally have been quite lucky but recently bought a sleepsuit which was listed as only worn a couple of times and when it came it was obvious it had been washed lots of times as its had gone bobbly and was off white. Bought another sleepsuit which was also listed as worn once as baby grew so fast but baby had obviously stained it on that one wear and the seller didn't bother to mention it.

on the other hand, i've been having some probs with paypal so lady i've sold to said she'd send a cheque! got it today with a little note, something along the lines of "dear laura! (my names leanne lol) i feel like i really know you, haha! after everything thats happened, what else could go wrong you might ask? i go to write a cheque and my cheque book is empty! at nearly 60 years old, i've had to ask my dad to write a cheque for me haha hope this does the trick! Ann xx"

thought it was quite sweet
