    "ebay nightmare" what i should do???? Advice pleaseeeee

    I won a center console on ebay 1 week ago and after a smooth communication with the seller i paid 320 pounds yesterday.

    Then the seller sent me a cancellation of transaction with the excuse that he cannot ship it out before Christmas.

    i decline the cancellation of transaction as i already paid for it and is continuously sending me messages to my personal e-mail to cancel the transaction and buy the console after Christmas.

    i really want this console so:

    1) should i wait a few days if the seller change his/her mind as he has a 800 positive feedback???
    2) accept a refund and forget about it???
    3) ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS??

    Re: "ebay nightmare" what i should do???? Advice pleaseeeee

    i know that he either already sold the console for much more or is dealing with someone, cause till friday he just waited the payment to post it.

    the seller is giving me a refund, but the question here is:

    1) can i push it till the end using "negative feedback" without risking loosing my money???

    shouldn't i give him a few days to see if he change his mind? i don't think that the seller wants a negative feedback as is pushing for a refund and cancellation of the transaction.

    he tried to cancel the auction and i decline. so now i have 2 options:

    1) accept the refund from the seller cancel the transaction and i guess i cannot leave feedback.
    2) wait til 08 Jan, 2016 which is the estimate delivery date and then he either shows a tracking number or money back(i hope) and the seller gets negative feedback from me.

    Too many fookin messers now on ebay mate I'd take the refund pointless dragging it out. He's obviously sold it for more or is hoping to.

    i appreciate your advice, i'm towards dragging it down till he gets the negative feedback as he looks to be an excellent seller till today and is going to feel the bad taste of his/her actions.

    Take your money back and run.
    He’s either sold the item for more than he got on ebay and doesn’t want to give it to you, or he didn’t get what he wanted on ebay and he probably plans to relist it in the new year.

    I can sympathise and agree there are to many people messing about on ebay and not taking the contractual side seriously.

    I recently won an English diff fitted with a quaife ATB for £80 !!! The advert was really badly worded which probably accounts for the lack of bidders, anyway agreed a time and place to pick up (only do cash on collection from private sellers now having been stiffed twice on non delivery) only to receive and email saying that their storage facility had been broken into and the diff had been stolen. On face value quite plausible but cynically it was an excuse as it sold for too little, I will leave you to decide.

    I guess on Ebay it is one rule for one and one for another, if I win and do not pay I can be barred as a bad customer but if a seller withdraws after the sale then there is no comeback as Ebay still get their fees (I expect), I would like to see Ebay enforce sellers to deliver either the item or an identical one within a time period to stop this. But this will not happen.

    Rant over.

    Just remember that you only have a certain amount of time in which you can use Paypal to claim your money back. If it's not until after Christmas you might find their protection runs out.

    As others have suggested, I'd take your money and look for another seller.

    i checked with ebay and i can only claim my money back after 08 Jan, 2016 which is the estimate delivery date and then he either shows a tracking number or money back(i hope) and the seller gets negative feedback from me.

    Just remember that through PayPal I believe you have 45 days to file a complaint...after that you have no power. So just don't leave it too long if you decide to wait.
