Hi Patsy
Dont be put off by Spanish Ebay we have used them and so far all gone well, even down to the point of a rocking chair had all the wrong parts and the seller immediately dispatched the correct parts, sounds like you were unlucky.

Hi pwwm
Thanks for your response. I'm still emailing the seller but not really getting anywhere. It's so frustrating! The item I bought was for a birthday present on July 27th. I've had to go and buy the same item in the shops! My friend said she'll buy the item from me when it arrives (IF??) so I'll only lose the 14.75€ postage but that's not really the issue. I'm giving it until Wednesday and if it doesn't show will post some negative feedback. It won't help anyone though as the seller has decided to keep feedback private. Wonder why? Thanks for your message though. At least it's not all bad.

I do a lot on ebay and I'm very particular about who I deal with. I won't deal with anyone who has private feedback ... if he has to hide it then its probably bad. I don't deal with anyone who has repetitive bad feedback for non deliveries or anything like that. And I almost always pay by paypal when I'm buying, because at least you have some kind of protection.
If you had paid by paypal then you could have filed for an item not received, and if he couldn't provide a tracked delivery system or signature then you would have been refunded in full.

Yes, thanks Mitzyboy.
I normally ONLY deal with paypal but the only option for this particular item was to transfer the money direct. My bank has been helpful and told me the date it was credited to the account etc. I have just received another email from the seller telling me they will tell everything on Monday... a whole month after I have purchased it. The problem is, I don't speak enough Spanish and the seller speaks no English. Still, we all have to learn from our errors!!

Re: Lost in the Post?
 

Blimy I lived in England when I posted that!!!
Please please pretty please don't start wishing a happy birthday to all the old threads or I will lose the will to live.

Re: Lost in the Post?
 

Just a word of advice.......don't try and do this anywhere Sue is Mod'ing, I did it once and it was closed VERY quick!!

Re: Lost in the Post?
 

Ah but Mitzy. In re-reading that old post, memories have come flooding back to you of how life in England was at the time. The move to Spain. Getting the house and everything up until where you are today. So not only have I resurrected an old thread; I've provided you with the psychological kickstart to re-evaluate the last 12 months of your life.

All for only £500. What a bargain!

PM me so I can give you details of where to send the cheque.

And....... of course you're welcome:thumbup:
