Won't Post

au_schol — Sat, 04 May 2019 00:27:53 GMT

Paid for auction item on 22 April..seller hasn't posted as of to-day. No communication. Don't want to ask for a refund yet as I would prefer the items, which are rare....There are about eight instances of this very thing on his/her feedback yet is at 98%. Given there is a pattern, can ebay investigate this person over and above an individual buyer/seller dispute?

How can you be certain they have not posted?

Whilst this person certainly seems to have a habit of not sending things, the item would not have arrived from The UK yet (and especially with all the public holidays for Easter and ANZAC day here)

However, if their usual trend continues, I would personally be opening an item not received dispute instead of asking for a reund

Some sellers don't mark as posted even though they may have sent the item.

From UK including all the holidays we had, I wouldn't expect to see anything before 3-4 weeks.

Then best if not arrived open an INR case in eBay.

As for eBay investigating, a greater number of cases or defects will see the seller's account limited.

I can't be certain, but with no marked-as-sent or response to messages, combined with the aforementioned pattern, I would bet on it.

As stated above, some sellers don't mark as posted. And his delivery time says: Estimated delivery within 11-26 business days

So you don't have a case until about 22 May.

And I don't think ebay would be proactive at this stage.

Assuming everything is above board, its bad form though, when the seller won’t correspond with the buyer and at least advise the status of the purchase. Rude in my books, although there could be a valid reason behind it.

absolutely, I agree that it feels rude and I am not siding with the seller in any way BUT the time to notice things like bad feedback, bad selling history, and 26 days delivery time is BEFORE bidding.

Having purchased the item, the OP just has to wait it out.

Hopefully the information given by people in this thread are true and you do receive your item.

Personally I have just about given up on auction bidding on ebay. Too many sellers have failed to follow through after the auction. From memory five out of eight in the last year or so.This have been when I was the sole bidder. Presumably the seller was unhappy with the result but state other reasons or no reason at all.

I can see you have it right Curraone, but thought I would point it out to other less experienced people.

That says Business days (Mon to Fri), so the delivery window is the start of the 3rd week to the start of the 6th week- and that assumes no public holidays. When we have actually nearly had a weeks worth of them.
