Bought item then seller cancelled order

[michellebartley]

I ordered an item and paid for it then asked seller(nicely)a day later would they be shipping it soon (as half the time you are left in limbo)then blow me down they messaged me with feeble excuse its restricted in Australia. I'm making a complaint to Ebay about this. This is wrong. Imagine the scenario in a store and you bought an item them the shopkeeper refused to hand it over. GIVE ME A BREAK. I think they got peeved off about me asking for shipping query and cancelled order.

*sigh*

It seems that this is a case of the squeaky wheel syndrome.....make enough fuss and the seller will reward you just to shut you up.

Would that be a squeaky exercise wheel?

I'm sure you could get a good, used one (with inappropriate organic matter included for free) from a US or UK seller at only twice the price you could get a new one here.

The seller was very apologetic about it all and gave me a $10.00 Ebay gift voucher for all the trouble which was very good of them.

Now I find this amusing.   Is it a voucher to use on future purchases, when they have refused to sell to you?

[michellebartley]

The voucher is for any purchase wanted on Ebay.

They did not refuse to sell to me, thing was they were unable to sell to me.

  So pleased you are going to continue your purchases as before with no thought for consequesces.  You come to the board so often asking for help with your self made problems with no qualms.  Definately a sellers nightmare.  One can only hope that customs/quarantine do catch up with you for flaunting the laws of this  country.  I am sure you will be back then asking the boardies "what have I done wrong?"  May I suggest you find a new hobby!!!!!!!

Definitely not risque but very very true.

Gotta love people who use big words that they do not understand.
