Ebay purchase

[M80]

Here's the one I bought and paid for 2nd Sept,
Mercedes Vito / Viano 2010 Passenger Side Dashboard Storage Trim | eBay

The seller said he was away on holiday so would post out on the 8th.
No sign after over a week so sent a message.
"It was sent recorded economy delivery I'll check".

Still nowt.

Today I see this advertised,
Mercedes Vito / Viano 2006 Passenger Side Dashboard Storage Trim | eBay

It's not the end of the world but handy knowledge for those of us who might be waiting for something the seller had no intention of posting.

report to ebay. at least that will get you either a refund or a response.

as you say, not the end of the world, but its the PRINCIPLE of it.

I sent the guy a copy of the second link and suggested that if he didn't want to send he should have said so.
He says he will sort it with the P.O., and if he can't he'll refund me. He'll have no choice as Paypal will by the end of September anyway.

I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Actually with time I'll see if MB prices are similar for this. The Viano came with the pop out cup holder and I as I've fabricated a centre console for a couple of flasks the open store pod will be more useful for t'other 'arf.

You can ask ebay to escalate it and you will get the refund quicker

Don't forget the negative feedback, it hurts sellers but mainly trader (business) rather than private

I wonder if it's the same item or some just nicking the picture?

I did consider that some one had just copied the advert for the same item,
A week on holiday isn't unreasonable at this time of year,
2 more weeks and no show makes me believe he just used another account to get more dosh.

The chap insists it was delivered and signed for,
but if so it wasn't here, and there is no offer of the tracking number.

Anyway after my response he refunded. We're on a grove so maybe who ever lives up the road has it?
