Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / February 2008eBay delivery question
All, I recently won an auction on eBay for ... you guessed it another bloody transmission. It was a good price but between the price of the transmission and shipping it's still a decent piece of change. The seller was paid via PayPal two weeks ago Saturday, and they left positive feedback, but the transmission still hasn't arrived. Saturday I sent a note inquiring if there was a holdup and asking for a tracking number, I've yet to get a response. The seller is a "Power Seller" with over 1300 transactions and a 99.4% positive rating, they are also located in Tennessee which had some tough weather recently. How long should I wait before doing anything more? Any suggestions on where to go from here? Thanks, Jeff DeWitt Jeff, Go in on PayPal and enter a dispute. If the seller does not respond within three days you will get your money back. > All, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Jeff DeWitt And do it NOW! IIRC you have only 30 days from the close of the auction to initiate a dispute request or you're SOL.

If so, it should give a phone number... call him... Maybe some emergency has happened at his end... If you cannot get hold of him this way, and he is not returning e-mails, I'd go the dispute route with eBay and PayPal. >And do it NOW!

I bought a laptop last week and after payment was made, I lost contact with the seller as several attempts to contact went unanswered. Today, I recieved an email that the item was shipped when payment was received and that I should get it on Wednesday. Again, this seller had a 99% positive feedback rating and had been a member of eBay since 2002. Now, if I haven't received by Thursday, I will start to panic.. Been some awful weather in the midwest lately. Maybe that tranny got tossed into a field somewhar...

They did have some REALLY nasty weather in Tennessee (tornadoes)... but I just checked and he listed some items today, so he ought to be able to answer my email!

He could have his SPAM filter set wrong, and may not be seeing your e-mails. Or use another e-mail address to try again. Gord Richmond If you file with PayPal that he is not responding and did not send you the item you are putting any bad marks against him. You are giving him time to respond and if he does not you get your money back. > >The guy has an excellent feedback rating and has sold a bunch of stuff, > >been a member of eBay since 1999 and he's a Studebaker guy (don't have a [quoted text clipped - 80 lines] > > Gord Richmond > If you file with PayPal that he is not responding and did not send you > the item you are putting any bad marks against him.

There was a medical problem in the family and they promised the transmission would ship Saturday. I checked with PayPal and you can file a dispute up to 45 days after payment. I've asked them to give me the tracking number when they get it and there will still be plenty of time to initiate a dispute if it comes to that. Thanks!

JT In reading this I realize there is an error in my statement. I meant to say that: If you file with PayPal that he is not responding and did not send you the item you are NOT putting any bad marks against him.

It seems like one of the things that dispute function is for is situations exactly like this. However it looks like things may be OK. Thanks!
