seller not responding

lancraser — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 01:41:25 GMT

Bought an item on the 18th from a local seller, a week passed and nothing turned up and it hadn't been 'marked as sent' so i messaged the seller asking if its been sent. That was 3 days ago and not even a response to say its shipped.

How much longer should i wait? if he even bothered to respond to tell me its on its way i'd be ok with that but no communication whatsoever. If he's not sending it i want to move on, get my money back so i can purchase from someone else.

You can open a Paypal dispute if that was your payment method. Make sure you do it within 45 days after you paid.

Some sellers don't bother to mark as sent. But if they haven't responded to your messages, I would get their number and call them if they are local.

If it's overseas, can take anything from 2-6 weeks in transit. Just don't miss the 45 day deadline as mentioned.

To get number - Select advanced search next to the search button, in the left margin select find contact info. You will be emailed their details and they get yours.

It would help you if the seller provided you with a tracking number (so you know how your parcel is tracking). Or even it was posted at all.

You could contact the seller via phone (if they are also within Australia).

Other than that, your only option is to notify PayPal and lodge a dispute so PayPal can contact the seller on your behalf. After a few attempts if no luck, PayPal will reimburse you what you paid.

Good Luck 😄

here we go again. when you send them a message it goes to two places, ebay messages and that persons own email. If they dont reply within 3 days which is PLENTY long enough then get the fry pan out and start heating things up a bit. there is absolutely no reason at all, no excuse why they cant reply asap. I had a cold, grandma was sick, i was on holidays which is all crap.You should have reported them on the third day.

Paypal does not get involved in a dispute until you escalate the dispute to a claim. They do not contact the seller on your behalf and paypal does not just reimburse you if they cannot contact the seller.

Create_fashion, you need to learn how a dispute works if you are going to give advice on the boards.

The ebay messages have been extra unreliable lately. It is possible that your seller did not receive your message. It wouldn't hurt to send another 🙂

It's been nearly 3 weeks now so I advise you to open a Paypal dispute.

Ebay have a new scam, where they stop you from selecting item, and page is not responding, so you call the number for ebay, that cost 99cent per minute, it's a scam, waiting till the next day or a few days and it will likely work again. It's the perfect scam

EBay's got a new scam, don't call the help number, it only cost you heaps and you get no results.

How many ancient threads do you want to drag up?

This one is FIVE AND A HALF YEARS OLD!!!

Ebay has a 1800 number....it's free to call.

Where do you get 99c a minute??

Select the option for ebay to call you! Where's the scam?

If your page won't load, try clearing cookies and cache and re-booting

And this has what to do with Seller not responding?

What does your misinformation have to do with a FIVE Year old thread, or sellers not responding. You claimed on the other thread (so far) that you bumped that YOU were trying to list an item.

So not only resurrection but off-topic resurrection.

Ahhh HA! The truth is finally out! I knew it! Are we looking at an eBay discussion forum wedding? I want to be a bridesmaid.

Can we expect some name changes, like davestawka or imawil?
