Is seller violating policy not telling ebay have paid for item. Leaving item as unpaid, wen have.

[buyingandsellingmandy]

I paid for item by direct debit, seller was very pushy bout instant payment. Had to be NOW. Sent copy of receipt via text message to his phone. Found seller very evasive, rude, arrogant wen i asked too many question about the item for sale after i had paid. Got my item in box, some of the contents he gave me, 2 pieces of contents were not there in the box. Questioned y give me some but not the rest. Wasnt logical or rational. Every question i asked was met with, how is that relevant, or, im within ebay guidelines, or how do u know i have those extra contents. Kept my cool through all of it. Was really hard to hav a proper conversation. This has never happened to me b4. All sellers i have met on ebay have been respectful towards me. This was nothing like respectful, the complete opposite. Was not used to this type of wat ever u call it dialog with a seller. Was a bit concerned about the manipulation i was getting involved in. It was not normal, far from it. I found there was something wrong, i became concerned the way the seller was acting. I found a very dark personality, almost twisted. I was answering his questions, but after the last, how is that relevant, i decided this game was over and asked if he was ok. His response, r u a retard? I looked at wat i was reading, then, after a pause, i wrote, no, yr not ok. Wat he text back to me was shocking, i was stunned. His reply, So would you just "F" off d-umb "C". Hav all proof on my phone, not going to upload a picture of it. Im still in shock. To make matters worse, he is not telling ebay i have paid for the item. So ebay think i havnt paid, wen i have. Told customer support to look at all my sent messages. Photos of receipt from bank i sent to him. Have reported him, have reported i have paid for item. Question, is seller violating any ebay policies by not telling ebay i have paid for item. Coz if he is, i can notify him of that. I have already asked him to tell ebay, but, its not happening, if he is violating any rulles by not notifying them, i can tell him that, and maybe he will tell ebay. Would appreciate all responses

Springy was referring to me and my last post, in which I outlined some things about the seller's listings that don't appear to be in line with eBay's policies. (DG = the initials of my username, which is easier to type than my full username).

d*g is one of the most respected members of the boards. An experienced user of online platforms and ALWAYS happy to contribute her wisdom to the common good.

Reporting her to eBay will be pointless, as will any future request for help from a lot of us.

You said it all -

Several ines does not make up a clear description of what you are selling

If that's the case then don't buy from them. Simple. eBay will only enforce what was advertised, not what you thought or hoped was advertised.

Caveat emptor.

Just screen saved yr message. Thanks for your help with this. Now i understand exactly whats going on and why.

[buyingandsellingmandy]

Ok. I wont involve anyone on the post.

I will only notify ebay to look into the sellers practices, which is important.

Wont involve any community membet.

[davewil1964]

[buyingandsellingmandy]

U have my word.

Only the seller will be investigated.

Will not involve any community members in this.

I promise.

Looks like an investigation into the seller has made me unpopular.

It must be the seller himself in that business that is the problem.

The seller gave me a name, but, there might be other sellers working in this business.

It is only that seller attached to that business im interested in.

[buyingandsellingmandy]

Im not going to put the business at risk if there is more than one seller in the business.

Who ever sold me the camera will be investigated.

Which means, i have to use his name so others dont get involved.

Or, that it harms the business itself.

Its one bad apple in the business.

[buyingandsellingmandy]

You dont know the full story attached to this seller.

Ive been thru alot just to show ebay i paid for the product, wen seller said i hadnt paid.

It took weeks to prove i had paid for the item, which i finally did.

There was also abuse of the worst kind.

Think of the worst swear words you could say to a female after she says, r u ok.

Not just one, three.

Ive been very upset over all of this.

You have to see the full story to understand.
