Hi guys, basically on 17th July, I found a phone on eBay and decided to buy it. I checked the description after and it said 10% off if paying by bank transfer. But by that time it was too late. Seller has since listed many other expensive items which people have also purchased and not received. So I am not the only victim. I filed a item not recieved on paypal 4 days ago, the problem is the seller has given a false tracking number on 18th. Do I stand any chance of getting my £499 back? It is on pay after delivery and it's coming out of bank account on 31st. Much appreciated guys.

I'm confused. Too late for what, the bank transfer option? Did you consider that? If you did, don't do that ever again as your buyer protection goes down the pan if you do.

Assuming you paid by Paypal, within eBay's payment system, you'll probably get your money back. If the tracking number is fake then the n that'll work in your favour too as he'll need to provide it to Paypal and they'll check it.

If however you made the payment outside of eBay then you're screwed.

Yeh I paid it through paypal on ebay, so now I should call bank to stop it? Or phone paypal? I'm worried its gonna go in sellers favour because he provided tracking number. But they have not looked into it enough.
 
Ok cheers guys, the royal mail tracking just says The system is currently unable to confirm the status of your item with reference number------ please try again later.
 
Ok well I been in contact with paypal, and they have said the seller has 4 days left to respond otherwise they will refund. They also say they will deny the case if he uses that tracking number. Fingers crossed.
