johnemerson38 1 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 i bought a 2nd hand gearbox off ebay.de for my syncro and as soon as i sent the money nearly 300quid the german scum stopped emailing me back so i put i dispute on ebay waited the 10 days still nothing so took it to a claim and ebay will give me my money back but only some of it around 100quid.i am so mad i have his details so how can ebay just let this guy just take money from someone and let him get away with it and just to make things worse i found out he put the advert back on ebay and someone else bought the item.any advice feel like getting a cheap flight and going over there knock on his door a smack him Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ebay is shite !Not on your scale but I bought something and only got half my money back when nothing turned up and my mails stopped being replied to ! The cheek is that they guy is STILL selling stuff !How can they say it's safe when things like this happen ? And if I get less than HALF what I lost back why does Paypal take money off me for EVERY transaction ! ? !BTW, fly over and give him a hiding ;-)Mark. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Rich 3 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Why has eBay only given you half the money back? They are a bunch of tw*ts mind as I lost out on a set of headlights that were damaged which wasnt advertised but by the time things were going to get sorted contact stopped with the seller then eBay said it was too late for them to get involved!Id say report it to the police, and if they dont seem interested then go over with a few mates ;-) Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 95% of people on ebay are cool, just the minority that try and stiff ya, i got my rims from germany and had no problems at all thankfully, just keep bombarding the guy with mails untill you get the box, flying over and smacking him is a bad idea i think, especially as the German police kick the s*ite out of people and would love to nick a brit and administer some revenge!......keep it to ebay/paypal and the guy, you never know you might get it?

crish72 0 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 As far as i'm aware,Paypal will only refund you what they can withdraw from the sellers account.So if the seller has a paypal balance of 0 then you ain't getting anything!Chris Link to post Share on other sites
