Looks like I may have been done over, I bought a 5ltr tub on the 15th as I wanted good oil in the car..........the oilfilter arrived ok as did the rest of the service parts but the oil (expensive stuff).........



Looks like a trip to a local garage to pay double AND A PAYPAL DISPUTE STARTING.......why do they do this for about £1500 its not the sort of money you can do a runner with is it, anyway someone said it would end in tears, you were right ......once all my stuff I have bought on evilbay has arrived and this dispute is over I am leaving .....FOR GOOD:bang:

One recent feedback mentions family illness, might be a genuine seller with problems.

Did you have a look at there listings as opposed to feedback?

Not closely, I saw a dozen or so small items, no oil but ? I did see positive feedback for sale of oil.
 
I am going to give them a few more days just to give them the benefit of doubt before I start actions as they did have good feedback for years untill recently, and if there is a family problem I dont mind waiting but an email letting customers know wouldnt go amiss
 
my money would be on them not being a scammer.

i can spot them a mile off, and this one has gone to a lot of work just to rip a few people off for £20 at a time.

I think the 'family illness' feedback is a big hint.
 
It could be a recently compromised account

The fact that they have other ebay listings that have links that go to other ebay accounts/listings is a big warning sign

but would you nick someones account just to sell oil at £20?

will be interesting to find out either way :)
 
I have found the tel no and called and there IS a serious illness within the family so the seller is having to do lots of travelling so therefore I will just hang on untill next week as she has asked

well done for refraining from giving them negative feedback.
shame the other buyers were so quick to judge.

i hope the family member gets well soon.
 
Thanks Gary I did notice the feedback about an illness so tried to contact first without going through PP
 
I got done over yesterday, I was looking for the number for 02 customer services, 2nd hit on google came up with a number so I dialed it, I got an automated message telling me to dial an 0870 number so I went back to the web page and at the bottom of the screen I see the £1.50 service charge, teach me not to look before dialing.

I am ****ed off that the 2nd hit on google is a scam though.

at least you're covered by paypal,

I will let you know the outcome as soon as I know but it does seem that after the phone call from myself and a few others that have contacted me she doesnt want to reply still to anyone or defend her name that has more bad feedback.........I am still 50/50 on this :shrug:
 
Just had a phone call from PP by a lovely sounding Irish lass, asking me if I have had any contact from the seller, which I havent heard a peep...she then advised me I have 7 days to start a claim and didnt exactly ask me to but made it clear I should do it sooner rather than later..........looks like 56 people have been had and looks like its going to dispute as the phone number I did have is now permanently turned off.

I dont give bad feedback and can only remember doing this 3 years ago once.....but looks like I may have to do it once more.....pity really as the seller was doing so well
 
Might I suggest paying him a visit with a heavy gardening implement of some sort?

Would you appreciate that if you were in the same situation with a loved one in (for the sake argument) intensive care?

I dont think he meant any harm mate (magik) just a passing phrase, and I am gonna give it the six days before anything as its a situation thats either kosher and she is telling the truth, in which case she will sort it mid week as promised but I wont let my deadline pass either so still unsure, any way Gary has already said it so I will give the benefit of doubt but must act if I havent heard anything by tuesday...............just so I can claim my money back if this does go boobs up

:lol::lol::lol: it seems the seller is selling the items then buying them in before they can send, but it does seem most people will get the oil which is a good thing.........better late than never and did save me £20:thumbs:
