Careful on eBay

[Zippy]

Hope you get it sorted. Neg feedback etc...

EBay is cool. The vast majority of transactions on it are good.
I just bought some sodium metal off a bloke in Accrington
Mind you I do hate ebay. They banned me for trying to sell my body on it, even though it was just for a laugh..

when it works its great - as with any thing in life. I have encountered a few jackasses on it though.

You know when your item hasn't arrived after two weeks so you send a polite e-mail asking what's up? Go get nothing. So you escalate. and you then get a hailstorm of vitriol followed by being banned. lovely.

and oh...paypal sends you an e-mail with the transaction ID..assuming you filled in he e-mail field correctly.

Never had an issue with ebay, I take a check of previous transaction if I am placing a bid for anything more than 50 quid and nobody has ever tried to do me over.

No they don't. They send you an email with a receipt number, which is NOT the same. I have phoned PayPal this morning and they have raised a case for me and then sent me an email with the case details and now a transaction id.

PayPal bloke was very helpful, and sounded genuinely concerned. Given that this is a Christmas present I couldn't give two ****s how poorly the ***** grandmother is he's had since nov 30th to post the c***ing thing.

OK, suity has said ebay is dodgy so we should not shop there anymore.

Suity got a bad transaction we all have to stop using it.

Everyone OK with that?

You have Arnie as your avatar choice and come to us crying about ebay, I am going to suggest there is some kind of personality dysfunction there.
