I won an poorly titled auction last Thursday, from a new seller. Shortly after the item ended, the seller sent me an invoice. Then on Sunday the seller sent me another invoice. After talking a few emails back and forth, I paid for the item on Monday. Sent him a message, to let me know I paid and to let me know when the item shipped.
On Tuesday, I was checking my eBay and saw that the seller is "no longer registered". I figure the person put up a few auctions, got the money and ran. So I start a claim with Paypal, but it says I can't open the dispute until next Monday. Today, the seller has responded twice to the claim, here are his replies:
I live in an apartment and apparently the former resident was an eBay user who got kicked off, and since their address is now my address eBay thinks that I am someone associated with this person, which I am not. I can assure you that your item will be shipped this Friday. I apologize for the delay I was out of town tending to family matters. This is all on the up and up and again I apologize for the confusion.
Then about 6 hours later this one:
You have my word that the items will be shipped to you this Friday and that everything is on the up and up. I am not a con artist or out to rip people off. Please give me till that time and I will let you know that the items have been shipped.
He was charging for Priority, so if he ships on Friday, I should have the auction on Monday or Tuesday.
Have you ever heard of someone living at an address prior messing up someone else's chance of getting an eBay account? And I partially paid with a credit card, should I contact the bank tomorrow, or just wait out and see what happens? I would hate to wait it out, for the seller to get a chance to withdraw or spend all the money in the account, so I can't get it back.
Sorry for the long read, this one is just new to me.
