eBay idiot
I bought a heater fan of eBay a couple of days ago. Paid £7.00 for the postage. I got home today after a weekend away to find a note stuffed through
the door. "left your fan in the bin". The bins are emptied on Mondays so the bin was completely empty. I've emailed the guy this
information and asked for a full refund. what's my best course of action from here?

Oh dear!!! That is quite a stupid place to leave parcels!!! I'd get onto the person who sold it to you. After all, you've paid for the
item and you haven't received it... Hopefully they'll have insured it...

If you paid with Paypal they will refund in full "goods not delivered" - but only if they can reclaim from the seller, fine as long as he
hasn't closed his a/c (unlikely for a small amount, but as you've pointed out there are idiots around!). If paypal fail you, you can still
reclaim from your credit card co. - again goods paid for but not delivered. HTH
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

The guy came round yesterday to deliver the parcel. No email or anything. I wasn't in so he apparently left the parcel in the bin. I did pay
by pay pal so I'll get on to them once he's had a bit of time to send the refund through.

What a complete numpty!! He should take full responsibility himself then - and at least you have evidence to back up his stupidity in the form of a
note from himself that he put it in the bin himself!! Can you scan it (for ebay, not for us - oh go on then!!!  )??

You've got good bin-men. Ours don't empty the bin unless we put it out on the road for them.

Sorry mate but had to laugh a little bit, my dad always asks me to leave his borrowed tools in the wheelie bin and then forgets to come get them -
he's lost a tile cutter and an angry grinder that way

Once found a video tape of a hillclimb event in my coal cellar - left 6 months previously by a postie. Dried out fine and still played...

do you believe the saller came round with the item?
Could be the "left your stuff in the bin" scam or an April fool.

He left a hand written note on the back of a print out of his pay pal email through the door. He did go to my house.
