Just a quick warning to any of you who sell on ebay (and maybe on here).
I sold a pair of wiper stalks on ebay a few weeks ago, as we all know the seller has to send by recorded delivery now or if the item is reported not received then they lose the item and the money......
Well lets put it this way in a few years of selling on ebay (5 to be precise) I have had 2 items I think go missing with RM, that's out of circa 500 items sold and I class this as one of those 2 as well!
Buyer was a bit weird from the start and you can tell when they are trying it on as they send a message to you around when they should be receiving the item asking for a tracking number to check when it will be arriving, not exactly normal behaviour a couple of days after winning the item, a couple of weeks maybe so you want to find out where the hell it is but 2-3 days you just chill out and wait for it to come.
This is usually solved by a simple response of it should be there any time and I have proof of posting, this guy however obviously knew how to play the game as a night or 2 later the aggressive threatening messages start coming in about how he needed the item quickly to do a job and as they were obviously lost (less than a week gone by) he wanted a full refund or 2 more stalks right now.
Everything about it screamed scam, but of course you have no choice to swallow it and give the refund (£19, not the end of the world but the principle is annoying) and then put the claim in, it will be interesting to see the result of the claim and investigation as I firmly believe this guy has stolen the item (of course to add insult to injury he left negative as well!! Unbelievable even though a refund was given quickly)
If the investigation does show any dishonesty then he will be receiving a visit from Bib as it will be reported, in the meantime I suggest anyone who sells to an ebayer with the name of ANNB5479 or in the Wickersley area of Rotherham.
The guy has a 94 Green 80 TDI.
It's up to you if you do business with him (I say him even though all contact details are for a woman, given the nature of the messages it is clearly a man), this is purely my experience and belief of what has happened. May save you some money though!
