I want to vent about an Ebay seller and if i can't do it here amongst my friends where can i do it?
A little background to illustrate my frustration and anger first.As many of you know i am an absolute Alex ross Nut and i've deperately wanted a copy of the one-shot"Liberty and Justice"for ages.Trying to get it here is next to impossible,i'd have more luck getting Blood from a Stone than finding it in this Country. >:(And believe me i tried to get it here.
Anyways,i've been considerably short of Cash due to paying for the Course[plus i'm on a disabled pension which isn't much] i've just completed so if i want something i have to sell something first.So i did and had the spending Money.I found an Ebay dealer,with fantastic feedback[over 2000]that had the Book for a what i consider a reasonable price and reasonable shipping.So i bought it.
I waited a more than acceptable time for it to arrive and then emailed,the reply was"it should be there any day soon."I accepted this as it was post-XMAS and shipping can always be erratic around the silly season.
I gave it another 2 weeks and emailed again,the Seller could then not tell me whether they had shipped it by Air or Surface Mail which i found odd considering they had fixed shipping costs so they should know what methods they used.So anyway from that point on there was a lot of writing to them trying to get an answer and i kept getting put off by the Seller.
Until the dreaded 45 day deadline to get a refund from Paypal,once that had passed they would not and still won't communicate with me at all.And of course then my money is lost!
It's not the amount that annoys me,although it doesn't help,it's the fact they lied and stalled until i had no chance of getting my Money back.So,no Book and no cash to try again.
Quite frankly it sucks and is extremely disappointing,chalk it up to experience but i need to vent.Plus i'm still gonna have to try and track this book down again someday.Hope i haven't bored you all.
