I've got an issue, never though it would effect me, but I am in eBay hell (relative term really, it's nothing in the grand scale and not going to cost me money) but is making me irrationally angry. Anyone fancy finding a person who I am unable to contact in a Taken sort of way feel free to trust me

If it's an item you have bought or sold you can request contact information which usually gives you a phone number

Paul11 · 19 Dec 2015 at 18:27

you the buyer or seller?

Diagro · 19 Dec 2015 at 18:28

Need more info

I bid and win. Happy days. In to my inbox comes my invoice for £71 (all good) and wait, what.......£49.99 delivery!! So I go back to the original listing and it's clear, £9.99 delivery. OK, must be an issue, let me contact the seller but no matter how I try I can't so this, it doesn't work. As I try this I note that he has listed the same item again (Amiga 500) with same pics, same words but for a buy now price that is £20 more, but with free delivery. I again try to ask a question, it won't let me and I can not contact him through any mechanism. I call eBay, raise a case and today I get a fail payment email. Nothing from the seller, no way to contact him. Call eBay back and now have to wait 4 days for the thing to close. As I say I'm not losing anything, it's just annoying.

Can't you send the seller an email from the item listing under contact seller?

Frankly if I had his address id just send some boys round to do, you know, in his letterbox

will he not just report you as a time waster that isn't paying? are you sure you read the delivery description properly?

bitslice · 20 Dec 2015 at 01:39

Just save his account for later then buy the next thing he sells, request a return and you'll have his address.

You're doing one of the worst things, in this thread, EVER when it comes to technology...

"It doesn't work."

The pertinent question is... what happens when you try to contact the seller under the listing history? An error message? A random webpage? A giant picture of Harriet Harman?

Beans on toast Dave · 20 Dec 2015 at 08:42

If you don't pay and the non payment runs it's course, don't you ge t a strike on your account?

eatcustard · 20 Dec 2015 at 09:20

Item number is.......

You can report him for none performing seller

I got done recently, broke all my own "golden rules" for using Ebay so only had myself to blame, the guy was "beyond pathetic" with 1001 different excuses to why he hadn't sent it etc.

100%. It still show 9.99 delivery when I look at it, it is VERY clear. I have not made an error and I have PDF print off's to prove it. The advert had 1 single delivery price as 9.99. The invoice was 49.99 which on it's own is madness.

DaleTheWhale · 20 Dec 2015 at 11:09

Does the price match from what was on the advert and on the invoice?
