Bought an item on eBay, seller hasn't shipped it

Yeah, I've done this in the past.

Start auction at 99p, sells for 99p - oops - sorry, must have been lost in post, please raise a case and I'll refund (ebay fees get refunded as well). Then sell item privately.

I stumbled across a pair of designer jeans that were surprisingly in my size earlier this year. Because of the odd sizing I was the only bidder and won them for 99p. Guess what, they never turned up and I got a refund. :mad:
 
Maybe it got lost in the post! I once sold a low value item and this happened me. I posted it, but because it was low value I didn't send it recorded.

About 2 weeks later I got an e-mail from buyer asking if it had ever been posted.

As I had no way to prove I posted it I gave the buyer an immediate refund... but often wonder where the item ended up as it was well packed and is the ONLY time anything I've ever posted or expected has gone missing...
 
I had a guy message me once and said he wasn't sending the item as the price it sold for wasn't enough and it was was worth much more ( to be honest it was. Pristine condition wharf dale 5.1 speakers with 2 front floor standers and a sub. About 500 to 600 quid new at the time and I won the auction for 50 quid.

That's the the risk you take selling on an auction site with no reserve. People are just too tight to put a reserve fee in due to the cost from eBay.
