calvin1169 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Bit of a long shot really, Just wondering if anyone lives close to this postcode SO531HA Story goes... I won a set of wheels on eBay and the seller sorted out the courier, a week went by and no wheels turned up, so rang the bloke and he said they had been twice already to pick up the wheels but there was no space in the van for them but they were picked up that day apparently. I asked for tracking number but he was at work and couldn't access it so would let me know it later. Still haven't got a tracking number of him to this day and still no wheels in my possession either. Rang him again today 1 week on from the above and he insists the wheels were picked up last week, but he is still reluctant to give me a tracking number. Maybe they have tried to deliver them but I missed them (got them sent to my work for ease) and they are sat in a depot somewhere.....haven't seen a missed delivery card though. I basically think they guy is either taking the p**s and hasn't sent them yet or he has no intention of sending them as I won the auction pretty cheap and he doesn't want to sell for that much and maybe hoping to keep my money too. Back to the postcode... I put the postcode in google street and found his address and the car is there with the wheels on which proves he does live there and I wasn't given a bogus address. I was wondering if anyone who lives close, like a 5 minute drive or something would be willing to drive past and just have a quick look to see if said wheels are on the car that he is breaking, if they are still on the car I know he has no intention of sending them and I can start the process of claiming back through PayPal. Small gift via PayPal for a christmas pint will be sent over if anyone can do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvin1169 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 i did notice he was close when i looked on the map location thing, But he is still a bit of a treck away, not what i would say as 5 minute drive. Couldn't ask someone to go on a mission that far, especially in his green beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvin1169 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 As Chris mentioned, mission complete. Big thanks again Chris. Unfortunately the car the he was breaking with said wheels wasn't there! . Maybe it's down a garage getting dismantled I don't know. Guy has got a few more days o sort his s**t out before PayPal gets contacted. Will let you know the outcome. Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvin1169 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Already had a talk with PayPal to see where I stand and if I could open a dispute, Said I could as long as I make it within 45 days of the purchase. As for patience, I do have quite a bit of patience lol, but I have to admit I'm near loosing it all together with this guy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvin1169 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Just a quick question guys. I'm planning on giving him till the weekend to at least give me a tracker number. If I don't get that by weekend I will be opening a dispute with PayPal to claim my money back, but how do you think is the best way to go about it. Do i, a) get in touch with him again and simply ask for the tracking number once again (already spoke to him Monday and he said he would sort it out, he still hasn't) and when he no doubt doesn't provide it by Saturday start the dispute but don't mention it to him and wait or PayPal to make him aware of it. Or Get in touch with him as above but tell him if I haven't been provided with a tracking number by said date I will be contacting PayPal and claiming my money back. Thoughts?
