Sorry for the mini rant and I know there are good and bad sellers on eBay but I thought the cyclist sellers might be better to deal with. I won a brand new dropbars, claris 2x8 sti's and bartape combo last weekend for a decent sum of £56 delivered and paid for it instantly as I always do. The ad said that it would take 2-3 days to dispatch and put on parcel force 48.
As expected the eBay notification appeared on Wednesday that the goods have been shipped. Friday comes and goes so I message the seller who doesn't get in touch until late Saturday saying that there had been issues with "postage". he offered a replacement or refund but given the price I wanted the items so asked for them. what is strange is that items are weighed and checked prior to them being accepted by Parcelforce so I don't see how postage was an issue. If he didn't charge enough for postage, his loss.
He has 100% feedback on 37 items and is a private seller so can't see how he would get a replacement so I messaged him yesterday and still haven't heard back. Worse still I have bought the DEDA quill stem adapter and Elementi Zero1 stem and stripped the Pug in readiness and had to chase my fellow roadies on my mountain bike at the weekend. Obviously I was F@@ked which made me more hacked off.
Why can't people just stick to the agreement and send stuff they have agreed to sell
