Withholding My Item

[cheetngetcort]

A seller has responded on an item I paid for on the 3rd of March:

Hi there. Ebay are holding your payment until the 18th march. That is 2 weeks. Sorry but I won't be posting it until I'm paid. Kind regards. C*********

It appears that they haven't sold an item for over a year before this one and that it is why Ebay imposes this wait. Both my bank account and paypal account show the money has gone out. Normally I would just suck it up, but I am going to miss my daughter's birthday because this seller has decided they are making me wait due to Ebay holding their money as part of the seller contract.

I asked for the seller to cancel and refund me, but no response so far.
What else can I do?

Hang on, what 'old' ebay? Do you mean on a different account as from what I can see, you only joined in July 2023.

And you have only bought one item.

It's up to you if you close your account or not, but basically if you buy on ebay and don't receive your item by the date outlined in the ad, you do have recourse to the ebay money back guarantee.

The OP left a well-deserved neg for the seller that tried it on with them.

Yes the OP did leave a well deserved negative for the dodgy seller.

But reading  all the other Negs the original Poster has left,  I think they may have a propensity of buying from problem sellers, or they are just unreasonable,  hopefully they have left Ebay,  they have definitely moved to my blocked buyers list.
