What do you do about an eBay seller that doesn't deliver the goods? I recently have been buying some equipment particularly to use paintball technology for beer CO2. I'll post what I'm doing after I see how it works out. So, I made a 'buy it now' purchase from a "Top Rated Seller" who had lots of good feed back. I paid with the order. After no product arrives I send a message asking about it. I get a refund but no explanation. I ask about that too. No answer. EBay wont open a case and it doesn't say why I can't.
What to do? My eBay says I still have to pay but, at least it's aware of the refund. Am I suppose to wait for this jerk to get stuff in from China? I don't want a second one if the first doesn't work out.
Don't sellers have to agree to actually have and sell the item? I had to agree that I was making a contract when I purchased the item. Doesn't the seller make a similar agreement when they post the sale? This is the kind of shit that should de-list someone as a top seller.

Re: eBay sellers
Can you post a negative response? Unless seller can prove your response is incorrect, it will remain posted for all to see...just one reason I do not like to use ebay for purchases.
Check prices and you will probably find buyers usually over pay for stuff...
Just my two cents worth

Re: eBay sellers
Yeah, your only recourse is to post negative feedback. Something "WARNING!!!! SELLING ITEMS HE DOESN'T HAVE AND NO COMMUNICATION"
Sellers can't leave negative feedback for buyers anymore.

Re: eBay sellers
That is very unusal for a seller with good feedback to treat you like that. If eBay says you have a refund, but you still have to pay, then you have to pay. Your only recourse, as I see it, is to leave negative feedback.
I bought and sold many things on eBay over the years. I had a couple of issues that were resolved favorably over time. For these reasons alone, I usually only buy things from eBay that I can't get at a retailer i.e. out of print books.
At least you didn't lose your money.

Re: eBay sellers
I'll give him some more time to answer. I ordered 2 items from him. One was shipped late. I hope it's all good when it gets here. My other eBay transactions have all been great. Good prices. Fast shipping. Some handling charges, but I always look at total cost not just price. Yeah I can't believe what some stuff sells for or at least lists for.
