item not as described (designer/size/fabric care label missing) - advice? (4 replies) Report )
18:35 GMT
Hello - first time I've posted on here, I'd really appreciate any advice on this...

I bought a (used) Diane von Furstenberg silk wrap dress on eBay the other day for £52. I was quite wary about spending this much/what if it didn't fit/etc. but DVF wrap dresses are fairly adaptable & they seem to sell quite well so I thought I'd take a chance as I could always try to resell on here if there were any problems. When the dress arrived it had no label in it on the collar stating the designer/size/fabric composition, just a very small printed label in a side seam saying 'Jeanne' + a serial number. There are loose threads at the collar where the label has either fallen off or been removed. The dress is nice but there's absolutely no way I would've paid that much for a dress that I can't show is a genuine DVF if I want to give it as a gift/resell it at some point. It may well be absolutely genuine, but I've got no way of knowing & the missing label wasn't mentioned in the listing - in fact the seller actually says the size on the label is a US 4, but where she got this info I've no idea! I (politely!) emailed the seller to say I wasn't really happy about this & she seems very nice but all she offered is to try & find the receipt for the dress from 3 years ago. I don't really think this is good enough & would like a refund (but her page says 'no returns'). According to the info I've found so far on eBay an item falls into the 'not as described' category if
"The item is missing major parts or features which were not disclosed in the listing."
I'd say the maker's label falls into that category!? Any advice on how to proceed would be gratefully received...

Thanks,

Helen

Not described properly (1 replies) Report )
18:18 GMT
I recently bought some trousers titled "Boy's Brown Mini Boden cords". The seller had specified he wouldn't accept returns and since the photograph wasn't brilliant, I asked the seller to identify what a particular mark was I could just about make out and also more details ont eh condition (my question has been printed).

The cords arrived today and have a series of marks on the front and back - look like bright orange pencil lines. The seller tells me this is because they are "distressed cords". On reflection, they are quite uniform marks...but I absolutely hate them. Also you simply can't see them in the photo - if I had, I wouldn't have bought them.

Seller won't accept returns - would this count as not as described, since no mention of "distressed" or marks was made?

Item bought, problem in paying (4 replies) Report )
16:41 GMT
I saw an item on ebay which was on auction. I contacted seller and made an offer to obtain the item out of auction because I wanted it sooner. Seller accepted my offer and said I must make a bid on it for the agreed £11.50 which I did. Problem is the auctioned opened with an opening of £7.99, postage free. So my offer now stands at £11.50 and the seller has closed the auction so that I can get the item and the winning bid is now showing as £7.50 meaning I owe the seller £3.49. Seller has told me to put the £3.49 into his paypal account and I dont know how to do this. I have asked the Seller to add the £3.49 in as postage but dont know if he can do this either.

Bit stuck here. Am a good ebayer and havent had one negative comment about me - am always marked as a quick payer because I pay within minutes of winning auction.

Urgent advice required to save the situation please.

Many thanks!

Payment not being processed (1 replies) Report )
16:17 GMT
Hi,

A week ago I bought an item on ebay and paid instantly with PayPal. It says it is the sellers first time selling and they are new to ebay altogether. The Paypal payment has still not been processed after a week and I have contacted them and they have not contacted back. I dont really know what to do, I bought it as a buy it now price so I could get it early and they dont seem to be even checking ebay or sorting their paypal account out. How long do I have to wait before withdrawing a payment, will it effect my feedback if I do and they eventually decide to process the sale down the line?

Annie :-)

Weekend outage and seller nonperformance (3 replies) Report )
16:14 GMT
http://www2.ebay.com/aw/uk/200911241017252.html

seems sellers will be compensated and protected from negs due to the problems at the weekend

seems sellers will not be required to fulfill auction style listings that did not make sufficient money as a result of the outage

http://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=1200325520&tstart=0&mod=1259060364997

so will not be an opportunity for trigger happy buyers reporting sellers for nonperformance in legit instances
