I've been waiting 2 weeks since paying my bid on ebay for some comics to arrive. I check the tracking info on ebay today to find out that it was shipped to some address in a nearby town, then resent back to the seller. :frustrated:

 

Sad. Oh well, I re-sent my address (I did this before paying as well) so maybe I'll eventually get these comics! :grin:

I bought a book that went around the world (well to Australia and back, because that is what the sticker said on the box) before it got back to me. It was a USPS error.

 

I shipped a book that disappeared for 3 or 4 months and then it arrived like nothing had happened.

 

I shipped a book, it disappeared for nearly 4 months and then it got returned to me the day before Christmas.

 

Stuff happens.

Sorry to hear it. At least the seller shipped the book! That a first step in the right direction. Hope they arrive soon.

Years and years ago I bought a book on eBay. 3 weeks went by and no book. I contacted the seller and he wouldn't reply. I filed a complaint through Paypal and the guy never replied to the investigation.

 

He started having negs pop into his feedback. Everyone was having the same problems with him. He was a fairly new user and didn't have a substantial feedback total.

 

Finally his account get NARU'd and I get a refund from Paypal.

 

Almost a year goes by and one day I get a package in the mail. No idea what it was as I hadn't ordered anything. It was that book I bought on eBay. Postmarked a few days earlier. The guy just got around to mailing it I guess. No note. No explanation. Nothing. Just the book.

I emailed the guy and offered to send money or return the book but he still wouldn't reply to me.

It was one of the more bizarre transactions I ever had on eBay.

Just out of curiosity, how did you pay for these books?

 

Because if you paid through paypal, I don't see how the seller could have gotten the wrong address (unless the address in your PP account is incorrect as well)? :shrug:

Yes, I paid through paypal - and I updated my address a few minutes before paying so that is probably the problem.

 

I dont mind waiting for the books - but I did contact the seller and let them know about the address separate from that. O well, it's fun knowing they are coming!

This isn't exactly on topic, but it just happened today, so I'll share.

 

I just had a guy open a paypal dispute on me because he said I shipped him an empty package.

 

I sent him a sandwich of three flattened priority boxes. The middle box was sealed on both ends and then, inside that, was a tyvek envelope with art in it.

 

He never opened the middle box, so he thought I had ripped him off.

 

He's since apologized :) (and he has his art, which is the good bit. I originally thought it had been stolen in the mail.)
