wogihao Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Ahh i new i shouldnt have used non-english speaking sellers, Im never doing this again. Just a complete waste of time. I have nothing against the seller, I not assuming its his fault just probably a missunderstanding (thus the name is not here). I was trying to get hold of some German 2600 games, There was this one seller who was willing to send to the uk and i though cool, one of his payment options was cash so i thought ok There was no paypal but i thought ah well no big deal. Theres also bank transfer but that costs £18 to send so thats a nono. Well i win the auction and it comes to payment and he send the bank tranfer info, I send him a email saying no way am i paying £18 to send £19 quids worth of stuff. I asked him to mail me his address and i would send him the money by post or paypal. No reply.... I figured well maby hes wasnt so intrested or maby he dosent understand or somthing so i figured well maby wait a bit perhaps hes busy... more time passes. I log in today and thers a dispute consol, I send the same message i did before - I need your address so i can send you the money by post. Im not paying for a bank transfer as its £18. hmmm has anyone had a similar problem? Why on earth dont they use paypal. It makes no sence if your going to ship internationaly why you would insist on such a shitty system as bank transfer. lol and because of this ebay is threatening to close MY account!

Captain Beard Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Did it say in the auction that he only accepted payment via bank transfer from the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wogihao Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 No it didnt, luckly the chap is accepting a paypal payment so looks like the problems solved maby his messages got lost in a spam filter (but its set to low so it would have been realy unlucky). I wish i knew someone in germany lol so many cool atari items get sold on the german ebay but they only ship to germany usualy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
