AndyM3000 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 How much was the item that you bought? Could be a very clever way for him to get a short term no interest loan for xmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 So I finally got around to reading 'A Christmas Carol'. Prefer The Muppet's version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted December 24, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2013 I hate eBay sometimes. I bought something on there 10 days ago, never got dispatched. It's not a Christmas present or anything so I wasn't worried about getting it in for tomorrow or anything, but I did expect it to arrive timely, especially as I made payment immediately. A week was long enough imo, but gave 10 days to give some leeway in case there was an issue with the money. Still no dispatch today so, had enough, contact the seller and, since I'm not too familiar with eBay also end up opening a case for a refund - the item is available elsewhere for similar money so I'm not beholden to getting it from this particular seller and would just like my money back so that's alright. Chap replies, apparently before the auction finished his grandmother died and he's traveled to her funeral, very sorry for the inconvenience, he's very upset and could I do him a favour, close the case and he guarentees I'll get a refund on the 3rd. Which would make it about 20 days since the auction ended that he's back. At no point has he contacted me that there may be an issue, and I must admit the email doesn't ring very true to me somehow - I am a cynical bastard though. Kinda don't know what to do now. I know i'm not closing the case, though. Do I tell him sorry to hear that, but the case is staying open? Go to eBay and explain that I'm suspicious, as they suggest if you don't get contacted by the seller or aren't satisfied with the response to do so? Hmm. Don't buy from Stephen Ireland on ebay. Simples. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Not sure it's a case of getting a free pass, Brian. It's more that they (the government) have eventually caved in and given a pardon - something which they have been bare-faced about not doing for the past decade or more (regardless of colour of tie).My post was ambiguous. I meant the government shouldn't get any credit (any free pass) for something they should have done a long time ago. The fact they've done it now should still raise the point of their dawdling rather than any undeserved kudos. anyone would think that there was an election coming over the horizon ...... I can see it now vote Tory because we let Alan Turing off :eyesroll: Nah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
