Hi all,
Just after a bit of advice here.
I purchased some tickets for a concert off of a forum that cost me £130.
The tickets were supposedly sent recorded delivery by the guy last week, however, he didn't supply the tracking number despite asking several times (whilst he replied), and he hasn't now replied since that day he apparently 'sent them'.
I haven't received anything and have contacted him every day via text, email and answer phone and yet to receive a reply.
I have also now flagged it up on PayPal as a dispute, so he will have got notification of that.
What sort of position am I in now, if they don't turn up, am I likely to lose out or would PayPal side with me and look to refund me the money?
Yes, I understand it has only been about 8 days, however recorded delivery as far as I'm aware is quicker than that and my suspicions that I've been done over are heightened by the fact he hasn't spoke to me since.
Please only serious answers, rather than laughing at some of my stupidity - I haven't used PayPal for a transaction like this before or purchased anything like this before, I've only ever bought through shops so a bit new to the whole other side.
Should I leave it a few more days to see if the tickets turn up?
I have until 12th December to escalate it to PayPal to see if they will settle it.
EDIT: If you are curious as to what the tickets are, it was x2 tickets to see Rihanna at the O2 for my girlfriend - hense me getting them to please her!
