Ebay woes

All I can say to you is: Good Luck... Don't Give Up!

My brother who I recommended using eBay for buying rare items has been put off of it forever, thanks to a loser who never delivered the item my brother had paid for. A lot of e-mail traffic followed, with each side defending their position. A useful tactic here was the ignoring of e-mails by the other party. Obviously the other side was in the wrong because the bank account details confirmed the seller had received the payment but he of course claimed he didn't. In the end a dispute was opened and closed on eBay but that didn't help my brother at all. He never received his item, he lost his money and the only thing he received out of this transaction was negative feedback (his only feedback to date mind you).

So yeah I guess eBay likes to keep their distance in these cases and let the seller/buyer fight it out.

I on the other hand, have never had any problems like these when it comes to selling or buying on eBay... Must be one of the lucky ones.

So good luck to you Sweeper.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
