eBay dilemma

[The View Askew]

I just bought an item from ebay for £30 plus £2.99 postage, the seller ordered the item to me from amazon, it said next day in his listing, it took 3.

I ordered from him specifically to get the item fast, as amazon were cheaper but take 3 days to deliver anything from Jersey. and this cowboy uses amazon at the cheaper price and pays no postage! I gave him £2.99 postage!

Should I admit recieving it and get my money, or should I never get it?

Not sure which route is easier, I've never not recieved and item before, or disputed one for that matter.

Although it's only £2.99, if I'm reading it right then the guy's been deliberately dishonest and screwed you out of that money. £30 quid extra for every ten sales he makes, isn't a bad little earner for him.

Based on the fact that he's been deliberately dishonest, then I would fight fire with fire and email him asking where my item was. If he doesn't refund the full cost then raise a dispute. I wouldn't normally advocate stuff like that as it's hard enough for legitimate small businesses on ebay at the moment without people lying and saying they haven't received goods, but this guy's a crook so balls to him

Amazon were selling it for £18, I knew this before I bought from him for because I needed it fast, amazon could only guarantee me 3 days.

I actually lost £12 and my time to this.

If you paid for next day delivery that means the sender would have had to use some kind of tracked postage, if it didn;t require a signature he didn;t send it next day therefore you can deny it ever arrived, might teach him a lesson.

should have just opened an Amazon Prime account and used the "free" next day service, probably what he did.

Prime is free as a trial for 30days always handy if you need something in a hurry.

had 2 trials now and still being offered another trial
