PaRtZ Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi all Bought a gorillapod off ebay, paid on the 15th June, got told it was depsatched on the 17th June. Only after that, the seller started recieving negative feedback from other ebayers about other items... So Im a bit apprehensive. I havent recieved it still so I opened a dispute. I asked for the tracking number, and what address they posted it to. They replied ignoring that, saying please wait, new post office etc in broken english. Its been 6 working days since 'dispatch' and it was listed as second class delivery. I'll obviously continue to wait a little while longer, but I reckon they've not posted it. So what are my chances of getting my £10 back? I did a dispute last time and won because the seller admitted to posting to the wrong address. This time the seller will probably claim to have posted to the right address which as devil's advocate, leaves it missing in the post? Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) New post office? I suspect you may as well write off your £10 A little O/T, but which gorrillapod did your order? Edited June 26, 2013 by AndrewEH1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Even if he posted it to the correct address, it's up to the seller to prove it. PayPal nearly always side with the buyer, which as an honest seller is so shit I can't begin to tell you. People are wankers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 If you pay by paypal; ebay always give you your money back its insured, just read the rules carefully and follow them (don't leave any feedback on ebay for the seller). It will take 21 days until ebay can get involved and issue a refund. If the item is lost in the post the seller should refund you and claim the money from royal mail, if they don't ebay will give you the money and pursue the seller themselves.

Danny Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Are you sure its even coming from the UK? Id give it at least 2 weeks before kicking up a stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Are you sure its even coming from the UK? Interesting point...By the broken english Id say no, but surely if it would take 2 weeks to post, you'd put 'postage: 2 weeks' on the auction? (rather than 4 days) I don't want to just sit idly waiting until its too late for me to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the smaller one I might be able to sort you out for shipping costs if your one doesn't turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 tis ok. Got my moneys back. Thanks Andy, but it was the larger one for SLR cameras. Ive re-ordered from a different seller, so fingers crossed again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm guessing its a copy / knock off for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
