I am after some advice, I bought something on the 14th June, and paid for on that date also (PayPal). It was marked posted on the 15th and so I waited, on the 26th June I emailed and said that I have still recieved my item and can he update please. The seller replied with oh it was posted on the 20th direct from warehouse to prevent any more delays, that no stock was held at this time but I should get it by end of that week (last week), so again I waited. I emailed seller the past Monday (2nd July) saying I still haven't recieved anything to get back an email saying on have no box sets so if you want that you will have to wait 2 weeks or he could send it seperately. I said in that case I would just like a refund. He emailed back saying oh sorry mixed up stated again that it was posted on the 20th and it is on it's way. I questioned why it was marked posted on the 15th June and if he did not have any stock why place a listing without being honest, then I got an email that was rude saying he is losing patientence and using capitols for words like YOU etc. And that I was being unreasonable and that eBay would side with him as they have before. Then alarm bells went off.
After that I asked if he could send me something showing that it has been sent.
So, yes the seller has been great with getting back to me but I still have no item after being promised by certain times, I have only contacted him after the dates I have been given by him, which I think is more than fair. Should I make a dispute with paypal? or wait till end of week again? Its just that I am going into hospital and wanted it before then, and when you buy something on the 14/06 to only be waiting on the 04/07. The seller is saying it is a heavy item, and a popular item. But previous listings for same item have said he did not have them in stock and will send once he had it. To be honest if I had known that I would of bought it from someone else. Turning out to be a nightmare.

If and when you do leave the well deserved Neg , do not mention a PayPal dispute or anything that may give the seller the opportunity to have the feedback wording removed. ( The red dot will stay but the comment gets removed)
Before I knew the in's and outs of eBay I thought it best to warn others of a shonky ( putting it mildly) seller and mentioned I had been refunded by PayPal.
Seller had the feedback removed , and sent me an in your face email to gloat about it :^O
I know better now and like others don't mess about anymore with sellers who try one over.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I have not recieved anything, contacted local post office nothing, asked our normal delivery driver and nothing. The seller is making me out to be a liar. I have been in hospital and I am only getting back on my feet now, so wll esculate tonight. What proof does the seller need to provide? As I can see it I paid for item then he placed order with whoever he bought it from. Other buyers have got their but me not mine, however they are not happy with it. A couple of neutral went up.
