Why do ebay sellers do it?
I have ordered a replacement air filter for my car and gone for the K&N panel jobby.
£55 inc delivery - good price.
The seller says it was shipped on the 7th, nothing has turned up, and the reply from the seller when asked for a tracking number was "sorry, posted first class so no tracking number"
WHY the fuck not recorded for the sake of £1 extra?
And while I am on a rant, why the cunt do people not reply when you ask them for an expected shipping date aswell for a large item that needs to be sent by courier - its nice to know when its arriving so I can be home, but no, no fucking reply
CCUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNTTTTTSSSSSS
And breathe.....

I know how you feel mate.
Nearly 3 weeks ago i bought a header tank cap for my FRST from the cosworth shop and i'm still waiting for it.
Paid £9.99 for it so i'm happy with the price but not the wasiting game.

If you did pay for it though, when it does get delivered the seller wouldn't have any proof that you've recieved it, so there would be no problems in getting your money back through paypal

even if its been posted first class he shouldhave been given a receipt which is proof of postage, if he has this then he can claim from the post office for the goods, and refund you when they refund him

Also the seller should issue the refund, and then claim the money back from the post office. The buyer should not have to wait for their money back.

Buyer: JJ201005584x is what you emailed me
Seller: According to to that number you signed for it and here is your signature on the royal mail website.
Buyer: Oh cock, I did not try to rip you off at all and claim money back fraudulently
Or something along those lines anyway

As someone who posted a parcel on the 7th, using Standard Parcels which both ebay and the Royal Mail clearly state takes 3-5 WORKING days to arrive, how pissed off am I that I've already been phoned twice about the whereabouts of the parcel. The first call was on Tuesday after which I scanned and emailed her the Proof of Posting receipt, only for her to phone again tonight. What exactly am I expected to do? Nip down to her local sorting office and see if I can find it in the mail system?
She won the thing for a £1 and the postage was a tenner. Royal Mail took almost £9 of that, and by the time I've paid for the tape and bubble wrap as well as the ebay and PayPal fees, never mind the fuel to take the damned thing to the post office, I'm out of pocket at this point.
But what I'm really fucked off with is this "HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN THAT CHRISTMAS IS JUST ROUND THE CORNER AND THE POSTIES ARE LADEN WITH CARDS AND GIFTS!!!???

See my other thread Ian, but the point I was making on this one is why wasn't my item sent with at least a recorded delivery, that would of cost 70p or so extra and with the price of the postage on the item I paid for it would of still been cheep. That brings me onto people making money off postage, really annoying, but thats another story
Too many posts.. I need a life!!

This is one of my pet hates The thing is with Ebay you are buying the item and you chose how you want it to be deliverd.
Now say you the post on your K+N was £10.50 and this was fully insured and tracked would you still have brought it ? no as it would have made to to dear.
I give my customers a choice and it is up to them how they want there item sent
