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 disfunction there.

Well duh!

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?

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.

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.

I'm going on the quality of your previous posts.

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.

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..

oh suity ... sigh

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

No better still deal with this yourself. The legal way will take far too much time. Best to put an ad on Craig's List looking for a hitman to go and take out said Ebayer. Obviously don't pay the Hitman through Paypal.

Here you go ....

Had a purchase not turn up. Seller dodging my emails until I threatened to escalate

You'd better pray that seller isn't member of CUK, because as you know it's a bannable offence to start a thread about particular CUK member.

For all you know it was NAT who sold you some duff tulip.

obviously don't pay the Hitman through Paypal.

Obviously you take out the hitman next using some other hitman (possibly more expensive), and keep doing this to stop the trail leading directly to you.
