: Hi Marius

: I also recentlly had an issue with a Skipererra bought through ebay
: where i paid via paypal straight away but the seller refused to
: accept it & refunded the money as he didnt want to be paid
: by paypal (even though his listing said he accepted it).

: I complained firstly to him & ultimately to Ebay but I am
: afraid that despite me being a a priority customer (due to the
: No of watches I have bought) & having access to special help
: desks etc they were frankly a waste of space. They went through
: the motions but put up so many technical hurdles it was
: impossible to satisfy the changing requirements from Ebay about
: what proof they wanted. They wanted copies of emails from the
: seller which I attached to them, but apparantly they were not
: attached in the correct technical way so they wouldnt accept
: them. I told them to look at the email messages on my account as
: the seller had replied to me through that as well, but they
: wouldnt look at those either.

: They make it so hard for you to complain that in the end I just
: gave up - I didnt lose any money but I didnt get the watch I had
: won fairly.

: On a happier note Nic Green @ Heuerboy was able to sell me one,
: though it did cost me a bit more than my bid at least I had the
: comfort of geting it from a trusted seller & frankly I would
: rather he had my money than the original idiot (who was a dealer
: in Germany).

: Good luck with your efforts & let us know if you get anywhere
: with Ebay.

: John L
