[TamiyaBeaterFleet]

Bought a runner blackfoot on the bay for an even 110$.

Totally got robbed, no response to email, no answer on phone[8)].

Email me if you want to know his ebay name, i wont be disrespectful and mention it here but an email is another story!!!!!!!! [!]

unlucky mate!, but i know how you feel. nearly the same thing happened to me over a NIB tamtech kit - i wont mention his name,but i,m pretty sure he,s not a TC member. i paid for the kit using paypal - which he accepted - then 48 hours or so later he tells me he doesn,t like my address and point blankly refuses to ship the kit to me, (he,s in america and i,m in the UK) of course i go ape and hurl offensive emails at him, but he never answered one of them after that initial refusal.

i contacted ebay and they did nothing to help me,they were about as much use as a chocolate fire place!, so i complained to paypal and they investigated, and after about two weeks they gave me a full refund - phew!!!!!!.

it just goes to show that nothing on ebay is 100%. i,ve also been waiting for a tatty old monster beetle shell now for about three weeks..........uh-oh..............[8)].

hope you settle this one!!!!!.

I think part of the problem lies with PayPal (owned by eBay).

Whenever I send a payment, they tell the seller that my ship to address is unconfirmed. And I know from previous experience that some sellers will refuse to ship to an "unconfirmed address".

Been living in Canada at my current address for 4 years. This is where VISA sends my bill every month. And when I registered for PayPal, this was verified at their end.

I read all of the seller's fine print. If they say they will not ship to an unconfirmed address, I email them first.

Oh, the joys of eBay........

I found that also. I had zero feedbacck thing for a few weeks then suddenly i got 2 so i dont know how it works. Can you even give feedback anyway?

[BalmyBaldwin]

This number is not a feedback number, it is the number of transactions completed with verified international users. The reason that the numbers pop up randomly is that paypal waits 2months after a transaction before you get the feedback (incase either side has a complaint)

now i know, thanks BalmyBaldwin.
