More free stuff on ebay part two

You have bought your stuff before the Christmas and love it dearly, but maybe you would love it more if it were free.

As paypal clawbacks can go on up to I think around three month, ( you will have to check, as I cant be bothered searching back through the dribble,) then you still have the chance to ask the seller if there is a reason your item has not turned up.

The reason for this is due to the fact most sellers on ebay are small cottage business' or just people selling their old stuff, and most will not have held onto their postal receipts and their tracking numbers. They may know you have received your item but if they can't prove it then they have no option but to pay you back your money, or you can go to paypal and ask them to do it.

Even if you have left them glowing feedback, it does not matter, as in most cases I have been involved in paypal has not even read the writing in the comments of the claim.

The buyers defence against this is to hold onto all receipts up to the time limit or at least three to four months.

They can also add you to their block bidder list, what good that does, as what is stopping you opening a new account to bid on their items in the future? NOTHING...

Writing this one as I have had several of the messages through ebay from different buyers, so assume it must work, as they would not be trying it. So take it as a heads up and make sure you hold onto your postage receipts.

If you are attacking your competitor, as I know so many of you love to do on ebay, then this one is another great one.
Item not received through ebay, negative feedback if you have not left it already and zero stars, and the paypal clawback will all damage the sellers standing.
Also some added benefits with this one if you try it before the seller starts trading again, as they may have cleared their paypal account, which will make paypal take the money from their bank account. If there is no money in the bank account, then you could have cost them up to forty pound in bank charges, depending on the bank, and paypal will be a little miffed that they are unable to pay you back, so could start holding there funds.
As a lot of ebay sellers are struggling on ebay at the moment due to the poor quality of buyers that seem to want everything for nothing, then this may be likely.

You may not get your money back if they do not have it, but it may be worth the loss.

Another benefit is that most sellers on ebay work as a team of man and wife, or some other relationship, and you have just added a lovely little row into their loving relationship, as the one who deals with the postage is going to get it in the neck.
