Pretty sure that you can open the paypal dispute as well.

It also means that he temporarily loses access to his funds and alerts paypal that he’s a fraudster. although both are ebay companies, they really don’t talk to each other.

Have you opened a paypal dispute as well? Go with the not as described route, paypal are much more ruthless than ebay. You may well have more luck there.

Paypal will then hold the funds temporarily while they investigate.

Below is from:

You can open a dispute in the Resolution Centre of your PayPal account within 45 days of payment if:

You don’t receive the item

You receive an item but it’s significantly different than the description on eBay or on the seller’s website.

By opening a dispute, you can communicate directly with your seller to work out a problem transaction.

If you reach an agreement with the seller you can close the dispute. If you’re still not happy with the result, you can escalate the dispute into a claim. PayPal will review the claim and decide on reimbursement.

To file a dispute on a transaction sent through PayPal:

Log in to your PayPal account.
Click on Resolution Centre near the top of the page.
Click Report a Problem.
Select Item dispute then click Continue.
Click Find transaction ID. A new window displays your transaction history.
Click the Transaction ID you want to dispute.
Click Continue then follow the onscreen instructions.

Note:

Generally buyers must wait at least seven days from the date of payment to escalate a dispute for an item not received

If you don’t resolve or escalate a dispute within 20 days it will be closed. When this deadline is approaching, we will remind you by email

A closed dispute cannot be reopened or escalated to a PayPal claim
Only one dispute may be opened for each PayPal payment
Where an item has not been received, please ensure you have given the seller enough time before opening a dispute, you have up to 45 days from the day of transaction to do this.

St Colin.

Went through the same thing 21 years ago, made redundant at the start of January, three weeks later fiance (wedding scheduled for 18 months later) decides to move home to her folks as things aren’t working. We had bought a place together (they were a lot cheaper then, 2.5 times combined salary).

We had a couple of dates, after a few months I moved out and let her take the place over.

Then she began seeing one of our friends, a married guy who left his wife & daughter for her. At that point I knew it was for the best, I was a little bitter for about 12 months, after all while we were supposedly working things out, I’d been on a 24 hour endurance event with him and poured my heart out to him.

I had a few cheap and meaningless flings, then met my wife a couple of years later. We met & married inside 13 months, it worked and we worked harder at it because we were married. I knew this was right when she agreed that a trip to the Alps with my friends would be acceptable a month before the wedding. (That’s not to say that marriage is always the answer, my brother married his long term GF after 9 years together and they didn’t see out another year, however he did the same thing a couple of flings and has now settled down with an absolute sweetheart). I’ve now got 2 kids, been married for almost 17 years & everything seems OK but who knows what’s around the corner?

My ex and friend married, had 2 kids, but sadly he died last year. I wished them no ill, way I looked it at (after a little time) was that I’d had a lucky escape. She’d had the bottle to say it wasn’t working for her (I was a bloke, I’d get some now and again, so the relationship was OK in my book). I also learnt that you can’t trust ALL your friends.

Carpe diem, seize the day my friend and make the most of the new opportunities open to you.

GoPro chesty mount at £34.99, doesn’t make it seem like such bad value.

In the middle, you’re like the rabbit.

We all know what happens to the rabbit when it gets caught.

So what does it cost? looks like a cheaper option for people with bling phones.

Hydrapak bladders everytime for me. So easy to clean, no more mold!

Haven’t used their packs yet, just switched the bladder in my ancient Camelbak HAWG.

No hope?

I are the last biscuit in the communal office tin…

Am yow from the Black Country?

I don’t know you, but as a fellow human being I wish you the very best of luck on your journey with this disease and hope that it has a positive outcome for you and your family.

Good luck!

And there was me thinking MTB Mecca was Whistler…

What’s you’re idea of “not a lot”?

Gareth Bale probably thinks £100k a year is “not a lot”, whereas Saido Berahino gets by on £850 a week.

Where are you located then?

Are you prepared to relocate?

How much does it need to pay??

Become a cabinet minister, then quit, watch the offers roll in!

😉

He should go and play for whichever team Di Canio is managing this week.

He’ll never get signed at Spurs.

Bottom line is you KNOW what you’ve done is wrong, or you wouldn’t have asked.

Do whatever you want, but be prepared to live with the consequences.

“I wonder what will happen to houseprices when in 20 years time a lot of people will want to downsize to get their ‘pension’.”

I guess they’ll end up using their equity to give their kids deposits to buy their overpriced houses.

At christmas mine was turned into turkey, leek and gammon pie a la Jamie “Mockney” Oliver.

Been a winner with the family for the last couple of years.

Sandwiches with thick crusty bread ans lots of picallili.

Try writing to your “Police & Crime Commisioner”?? Local MP?? Councillor for the area. Get a bit of back up from people in “Public Office”, the ones who still need your vote?

Have you seen that advert where the kid sulks as she asked for “ham & lettuce, not lettuce & ham”.

Mine are like that.

These look tidy if you’re not too fussed about a “badge” although not as cheap as the CRC jacket above, but a heavier weight fabric.

I switched from a Blackberry (had them for the last 7 years) to a Samsung S4 as I needed android or IOS, didn’t want apple and now long for my old Blackberry. Samsung is too clever for it’s own good and doesn’t work in the same location on the same network as my Blackberries have.

Very unimpressed, it’s too smart for it’s own good!

” give her some stick for not having your lunch ready”

Is that a euphemism?

Hobo with a shotgun was a real homage to the Troma movies (and dare I say it Robocop).

Machete was the evolution of the Death Proof / Planet Terror double bill, just waiting for Machete Kills to hit £3 on DVD and I’m in. Gotta love a Danny Trejo movie…
