e-bay problem
I've got a little problem with e-bay and I'm not sure what to do.
I bought a part and the seller doesn't take paypal, now he won't send me his address for me to send a cheque, I presume because he
doesn't think he's got enough for it.
How do I stand, should I contact e-bay?
Cheers

When you complete the check out you should be given his address then.

Basically he saying he has withdrawn it from sale, I suppose thats ok btter to know now than after he has cashed the cheque.
I do think this is the grey area of ebay, I know its a legal contract etc, but how can you force someone to part with something if they havent even
taken the money. I think you'll have to let it go.

You could try requesting an invoice. Doesnt this give the postal address??
Does sound like he doesnt want to sell though - maybe he didnt get as much as he wanted for it. If this is the case then i guess all you can do is
either forget about it or raise a dispute through ebay

Contact ebay and if no help, start a compaint. The sale is a contract, if he doesnt cancel the auction before it ends, he should follow it through
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

At the checkout it said "address not on file with e-bay" It's his first sale too.
I think I should contact e-bay, just to let them know that he's not reliable.
I realise I'll never get the part but I've had to bite the bullet and let things go for less than I wanted, surely this is why you can set
a reserve?

I would still say, if he got the goods and you have the money then he can still withdraw the item for sale.
I would suspect that ebay couldn't make him sell it either, but i doubt they will let him re-advertise it.

I'd start a dispute, not that it will get you anywhere.

I would dispute it then. It may get you somewhere
Basic laws for the sale of goods, incorrectly priced you can withdraw it, but if you then try and sell it then it has to be the marked price

If they don't do something and I don't get what I want for my next sale, does that mean that I can simply re list it?
The whole thing would collapse if everyone decides to do it.
I'm bloody fuming

As he's effectively cheating them of their fee for setting a reserve they might do something. But I wouldn't put money on anything
happening.

sounds like you're not going to get it, so lets have some fun.
Post up the link and we can all ask silly Q's, bid it up, then retract bids. And have a final HUUUGE bid from a newly made user ID so he is then
charged a massive final fee.
(assuming its not something embarasing?)

As above, then you can give him an extra kicking by saying he cashed your cheque and never posted your item, oh and give him negative feedback sayign
he stole your money.
I think ebays a crock'o's**te most of the time. If i can avoid it i do.

There's no legal obligation for the seller to honor a sale on ebay until the money has changed hands (a lot of discussion, but supposedly
that's how the law stands).
Report him to ebay for not filling his details in, he'll either have to fill 'em in or be kicked off.

Start an item not recieved dispute and leave him negative feedback! that should garantee him not selling the item. he will still be charged the
listing fee and Ebays 7.5% final value fee unless you both agree not to go through with the sale

Chris is it something maybe a potential bidder would want to view ?
If so link me the item and I will ask for a postcode, addy so I can view before placing a bid on the item.........
You could always come along with me and a few others to view...........

Scum of the earth!!
Non sellers are worse than non payers in my book.
They have all the time in the world to list the item, set a reserve or starting price and so have much less excuse for not getting as much as they
want for an item, than a buyer in the heat of the moment bidding more than they really want to spend.
String them up I say
Seriously I have had more trouble with non sellers than non payers in my 50/50 use of ebay.
Should chase them through ebay as much as possible and as said if not reciept mean they end up paying the fees, thats a good plan too, might stop them
doing it again

I once sold a 150 quid item that went for 30 on ebay. I honnered the sale, accepted as a risk of no reserve.
