Right my life just gets worse, lost job, dad in hosp with poss dementia, smashed my face up cycling and now a buyer says his parcel not arrived 👿
How do people deal with this, never happened before. A want the parcel to get there. I can't afford to loose £50. I nearly deleted the buyers email as it has spam in the wording, and had my reservations about selling them but i'd already been ****ed about by one STW'r so just wanted rid of the item. I have a postal receipt but item only insured for £40 and it took the hit on postage and paypal costs.
Can I search people email on STW as I don't know who the buyer is whether they are a regular or perhaps pulling a fast one.
what was the item and do you know there user name on here
some one asked this yesterday - and the answer was you can contact them through Paypal...
The item was some forks and no they just emailed me, gonna take email out profile its ****ing useless trying to sell stuff might as well just bin it.
thanks simon I might just tell him to open a dispute through paypal if nothing by monday and let them pay him and close my paypal.
so it wasnt one of the two that were going to buy your forks on here then ? in your old thread. i guess its just paypal then if you used it
i had an email from psycle (off of stwf) re that bashring that never turned up. turns out it was stuck in the postal strike and turned up a week late?
my guaranteed next day delivery i ordered on tuesday arrived only today.
humph.
how long ago did you post it? RM has been ****in useless the past week or two due to rolling strikes etc... I'm still getting mail delivered from August FFS...
yes been stikes around the country too which dont help. hope it works out for you mate
what a coincidence, Olly & I were posting at exactly the same moment! 😆
might just tell him to open a dispute through paypal if nothing by monday and let them pay him and close my paypal.
AFAIK - Paypal will only cough up if they can recoup the money from you
Disclaimer - That's only anecdotal so I could be wrong there
If it is lost RM won't do anything for 15 days iirc then they will insure up to £32 again iirc. Just wait it out, buyer should be aware you're not responsible for postage, if you've got the receipt of postage that should be enough to prove that you've sent the item, the rest is down to the PO/RM.
Things can go wrong in postage but lesson is to have recorded delivery and insured fully-so no moaning afterwards and pointing the finger.
Hoe it gets sorted.
so it wasnt one of the two that were going to buy your forks on here then ?
No unfortunately wish it was the second guy as he seemed decent guy but because the first chap strung me along I ended up almost stringing the other guy along so when chap one pulled out chap two was prob fed up.
I hope its the postal strikes as it would have 100% gone through peterborough
Google the email address, you might get lucky and find it in their index
Hi there right I'm starting to smell a rat, said buyer has just emailed me saying the forks didn't arrive, mean while I have emailed STW and the email I was contacted on is not registered to any user name. seems unusual to me. Its frustrating as if it was say goan, B.A.Nana or SFB I'd feel as though they were being honest.
In this case I just feel as though I'm being made a mug of, I can't afford to lose £50 until I find another job, but I don't wanna be labeled as a dishonest person as the few sales I have done on here the buyers have been happy hell they even got sherbert dibdabs are parma violets.

I have a number of email addresses. The one linked to my STW account is different to both my work and default home one. I'm probably not alone in this.
I know people have more than one email, be you prob wouldn't use a work email. you know if you were signed up to a website you would use that email to contact people surely.
i'm totally pissed off wish i had just binned them, even if i get a full refund i'm still gonna be £15 out of pocket. Especially annoying as i've convinced myself he's pulling a fast one.

Nope, not always. Because I have several website domains I use anything before the @ symbol. Generally related to the person/organisation I am dealing with i.e. I might use s****mydomain.com for the website but classifeds@mydomain.com.
Hope it gets sorted and life sends you some good stuff in the near future in order to balance out the recent crap.

Agreed - I wouldn't get hung up about the email tracing. I guess they're stuck in the post somewhere,

doubt it i posted them last tuesday, I'm in two minds here I have totally fulfilled my part of the bargain by posting them. there is little more than i can do than that, i stomached both postage and paypal costs. Do RM pay up for this type of thing or do they wriggle?

WTF 🙄
which bit are you referring to?WTF
technicaly you'r responsible for them untill they land on his doorstep.
Did i read right they are coming into Peterborough? Post has been a bit shitty here of late due to the strikes.
I once lost a pair of Fox 36's- took 2-3months to resolve to my satisfaction. 🙁

Absolutely. Never, ever, ever sell something online and post it without tracking/insurance.

I'm afraid it's your responsibility to get them to the buyer & his to get the money to you
It's unreasonable to expect the buyer to be responsible for both sides of the deal
RM will return up to £36 no problem, if you have proof of postage.
Did you not send it "signed for"? IIRC it costs bugger all to add on and means someone at the other end is responsible for it - if a signature is recorded then it's out of your hands.
