Think ive been had... ebay advice
I always thought I would never be scammed but it appears I have been royally screwed over...
I made a best offer on an item on ebay which was sold as "collection only". I messaged the seller before I clicked "buy now"
to check he was ok for me to send a courier to collect. All seemed great. I paid and then as seller was away for a week I organized a courier for a
weeks time. Thought nothing of it as I have done this a dozen times before with different sellers.
The collection date came and went and the chap claimed he had been in all day but no sign of the courier... Ok this happens, not the first time so I
reschedule for the following week when the chap said he was going to be home again... Repeat of above.. claims he is home all day and that courier
didn't turn up.
He has now gone silent and the 30 day "moneyback guarantee" from ebay has expired... I say to this chap, well played.. well fucking
played....
So he has £100 of my money and I have nothing to show....... As far as I gather as the 30 days have been and gone I have zero comeback atall..
Anyone have any experience of the current rules and have any suggestions of anything I can try to get my money back?

Paid Via paypal? You have longer to raise a dispute with them.

Doesnt seem to be the case...
If I go to my paypal account and go to that payment it says:
....If it's still not resolved, go to the eBay Resolution Centre. You may be eligible for Buyer Protection.....
And going back to resolution centre tells me I am outside of the 30 days and they cant help
Maybe he has a genuine reason for not being in touch and I am worrying un-neceserily. He seems to have generally good feedback..... Just worrying
that he has gone silent

How far over 30 days as they will extend the 30 days if there is a good reason. (Such as postal method used).

Have you tried calling ebay and paypal? I had a level 10 curse word messing me about earlier this year and talking to someone on the phone got it
sorted pretty quickly, they were helpful.

It'll probably be OK, thought I had been had recently, almost identical scenario apart from after a bit of discussion back and fore it was
agreed that the seller would arrange the courier as I was away from home and not in any rush so he could arrange it to suit himself.
Stupidly or kindly depending on how it ends up I paid via paypal as a gift, and then never heard from seller again.
Just when I had given up hope and decided I'd been a tit he got back in touch explaining that he'd "gone on holiday for a couple of
weeks and I did say to post it at his convenience"
Hopefully yours will also turn out to be simple case of postal problems, is the seller still communicating with you?
Cheers

Could any one of our club members who live local go round to him?
possibly with a base ball bat ?
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Agree with the above, if someone local can collect and then arrange to be sent off to you. Where is the item? The bloke probably did not want the
hassle of a courier collecting so is not putting himself out to get it resolved.

If it is a scam it is highly unlikely he gave me his correct address...
The address I booked the courier to collect the parcel from was in Harrow HA1 4HJ... Anyone local feel like doing some detective work and going for a
quiet chat?
