Sorry to mess everyone around but the pajero has had a stay of execution along with my other remaining cars,so its no longer up for grabs
-
what were you after?will you split? -
I doubt the buyers are told of any restrictions at the seller's end, otherwise it'd leave you wide open for abuse.
I've given up leaving things to buyer's honesty now, everything goes by recorded delivery so at least non-delivery is not an issue.
As for damage, touch wood that's never been a problem so far, but I guess as a seller it's a case of pack it well, insure it sufficiently.
Having just completed a dispute for fake goods, paypal are only too happy to give me my money back for that, and for non-receipt, but not had a damage case yet (either way) although I generally only buy off 99.5% FB sellers or higher now.
Out of interest, what category were you selling in when the funds were held?
The stupid thing about ebay is you can list something as a totally irrelevant category to get round their P&P price limits (ie CDs listed as radio control cars so as to avoid the £0.90 P&P limit) so it's down to the listing's categorisation more than the actual item I would guess
I always put them into what they are ie toys and games fr the cars(dont hate me, ebays catagory not mine) and plumbing for the shower. Its the first ive even heard of a p+p limit when youve mentioned it
-
yeah thats basically the explanation i got from paypal,,the higher risk being items of higher value and/or a type of product that has a high comeback ratio eg electronics plus probably me being only a casual seller rather than a business seller (be interesting to mebbes hear from europro or shopkeeper as to what happens then).As a buyer though i do get it from a buyers point of view with the added protection and tbh the lad i sold the last item to left his feedback tonight and straight away they lifted the pending status on me funds.It just makes me wonder how susceptible we are to scam buyers though.What are the precedents for paypal giving a buyer the money back and what evidence they get for non delivery/damage etc?Yup, but having checked your feedback, you probably fall foul of one or more of these three;You have an average Detailed Seller Rating (DSR) of 4.5 or less
You have received less than 20 Detailed Seller Ratings
You are listing your item in a higher-risk category
Not sure when they applied the DSR etc. but because you've only had 3 feedback for selling since February, then you've probably sold something that comes under the "higher-risk" category
This obviously doesn't help you at the minute, but once you've sold 20 items and received feedback and stars for them, then the fee holding should go away.

true.just seems as thought with ebay and paypal you have less and less rights as a seller of lateThe problem with sending 'gift' payments is that you have absolutely no protection as a buyer - If you're gonna send payment as a gift, you may as well post cash or use Western Union - two well documented ways of getting ripped offUnless you would trust your seller enough to post them cash, don't use Paypal gift -it's really there for people to give others money as a gift, not for buying goods.

still there if anyones interested. Unfortunately due to having to thin down the collection i am not in a position to take trades. sorry folks

due to various reasons i have only just got round to reading the board of late Twisty, and as someone who has bought from you, and probably did the how much do you want thing, i can honestly say its not because i dont read the add properly but i really dont like making offers cos i dont have that much of a clue as to what bits are worth,and i dont want to offer something or a price thats insulting. However you did deal with it (clod tyres if i recall rightly) with good grace and took the time to show me round The Nook when we met up to finish the sale.
my twopennorth anyway
cheers

Its still happening gents. theyve just witheld some funds of mine, now ive just rang them and asked them if its snet as a gift from freinds is this affected and the guy in customers service reckons not, so perhaps the way forward? i know the few bits and bobs ive bought of here the buyer has asked it to be marked up personal or gift

On a side note, I can't believe we're talking about Willy's "package". Seems kinda redundant.
OO-ER
Just a side thought,this isnt going to be used by tamiya`s importers to hike the prices again is it?

I may be wrong here but have you tried putting an 1150 bearing between the hex and the wheel? it stands the wheel off about another 5mm and theres still enough of the hex fits in the wheel to dive it properly. I know i did it on one or two of mine and im sure they were just standard wheel hubs and you gain about 10mm of extra width
