Hi everybody, I used to be a regular in here years ago and have decided to return. Recently over the last couple of months I have won about 40 to 50 lots of stamps. All but one lot have been delivered promptly. Except for one lot. I sent a message to rhe seller saying it is now 24 days when should I expect delivery. I got an immediate reply saying it is probably Aust Posts fault here is your money back. That probably sounds good, BUT. Of all the lots I won this was the best at a lousy 49 cents plus $1.50 postage. I can not prove anything but suspect the seller just kept the stamps and gave me my money back because the stamps would have a value of something in excess of $50.00. I believe an auction is a risk we all take and if it falls apart you should ware it. What do you people think.

You are right, but there is nothing you can do about it. At least you got your money back without a fuss...just be grateful for that.

You have absolutely no way of knowing if the stamps got lost in the mail or the seller was unhappy with the sale price .If I were bothered I would watch their listings and if the same stamps were listed with a higher price I would leave them a neg as but otherwise I would just forget it and move on.

Never wait for weeks on end for a seller to do anything. If you need to open a Paypal dispute do so within a few weeks at the most.
