Anyway, I kept on an eye on the seller and low and behold he re-advertised the game this evening! I’ve sent him a polite message to request he honours the original auction but doubt he will.. Is there anything eBay can do? I imagine if he did agree the disc would arrive scratched to buggery anyway Can you give him a shitty feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robtaylor200 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Actually I suppose this should piss me off Mrs T wanted an Eifel tower floor lamp to remind her of the happy times we have had in Paris, normally £84 from the range, but she found one from China £36.18, We paid for it and they sent tracking number etc. When it turned up two weeks ago it was two pairs of copied Oaky sun glasses. Emails back and forth they apologised for mix up blah blah, could I possibly keep the sun glasses and have 20% payment back. Threatened them with all sorts lying bstrds never intended to send lamp, false advertising, making copied merchandise et etc. Keep saying they are sorry. Eventually we agreed on 50% repayment. Not had it yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not had it yet though This won’t help you in the slightest but I get a number of shirts advertised me when browsing certain websites. Absolutely gorgeous western shirts at a very good price. I dig around and they are from china, between non delivery and size issues that my wife has had with dresses from China, I avoid chinese companies like the plague now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I will have to watch the match on the big TV downstairs, she will probably watch the one on the bedroom.

Not had it yet though If it’s a credit card you paid with initiate a “charge back” with them ... you should get all your money back . I had flights cancelled during the lockdown with lastminute.com . Phone calls were greeted with big standard we are working on it ... emails with an automated “this mail box isn’t monitored”. After 4 months of this I raised a chargeback with my credit card company and got a full refund on my card a few weeks later . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the time when we all get together and cook something tasty for our dinner after a busy week. I’ll still watch the football but I’d quite like to be fully present and good company for the fam. Instead I’ll be edgy and distracted. Completely the opposite for us. Myself and the boys really look forward to it and the Mrs does as well now so a big family event. I cook in the afternoon, usually some curry variant and serve later as always better for sitting. Out of lockdown no way but now it’s perfect. It does help matters that we are that good to watch in all fairness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this whilst on our daily team call at work and I wasn't really paying attention to what was being said. At the end of the call when they asked for any other business, I reminded people that 6 training courses have dropped in to everybody's inbox and they need to be completed by the end of February. There were a few giggles and then my team leader said "Yes. That's what we've just been talking about". Serves me right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
