Hi folks,

I won an auction for an MTX75 gearbox and bought it at the buy it now of £40.

Bargain, I thought. Well, that was on the 11th of November and espite contacting the bloke 3 times since and have heard nothing. I wanted to go pick it up right away

How long do I give the guy to respond? This is what I've just sent him:

Any ideas anybody?

 

Ring him ?

 

Id give him another couple of days... he may have went away for a long weekend...

 

Don't remember seeing a phone number for him mate

 

In the view payment status you should have all the details.

What's the going price for an MTX75 gearbox ? What's the feedback score of the seller ?

 

They go for a bit more generally. Traders knock them out around £150

But they seem to go from around £45 upwards on ebay in most cases. Not many about at that money tho. There's a lower mileage one going for a fiver more than the one I've won and if I'm gonna get nothing out of this guy then I'd rather go buy that one before its snapped up even if it is further to collect it.

That's the only worry I have about giving him more time. Obviously he might have had something unexpected happen like a serious issue in his life or possibly a broken down computer. That's why I want advice on how long I should give him really.

This is the seller: http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayIS...234591&frm=284

On the face ofit he seems a good genuine seller. 185 feedback at 99.5%

 

The dispute thing and feedback on ebay is crap.

I bought an item, paid for it promptly, never recieved it.

entered the dispute process, he just took a month at a time to reply, kept saying he would refund but never did, then eventually after 90 days ebay closed the dispute automatically cause of how long it had been open

he still has my money, i have no item

was only 30 quid, but what a fucking shite system!

 

Well, luckily this is cash on collection Chip and I haven't paid anything out yet, it's just an inconvenience at this point. That sucks what happened to you tho, it's more the principle than the cash in most cases.

 

Yep i would happily pay someone 31 quid to tell me where he lives so i can go round and fetch my 30 quid!

 

LOL

I'm sure that's not the only reason to go see him, eh? I mean, it would be rude not to introduce yourself properly

 

Well i pride myself on my manners, so i wouldnt want to be rude then.....

 

Go here http://cgi1.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayIS...rmationRequest and use the next to last box to get his phone number!

 

i cant cause its not recent enough

but good idea for bluesmoke

 

Thats who i was trying to help you muppet
