think ive been done for £70 , used this person b4 with no trouble. won item on 30th may to be sent 1st class recorded, on previous dealings 1-2 days max for delivery from this person . checked myebay and it says he is no longer a registered user of ebay so emailed him and he says he sent item on 31st but royal mail website not backing up his reference number. he usually has 3-5 items a day on ebay but nothing for last couple of days and also says he is going on hols on 5th til 19th june. everything seems a bit suss to me.
how long do i give it b4 getting onto paypal/ebay if nothing arrives on monday???.
can i get money back if he is no longer a member of ebay????
where do i stand _________________

If he is No Longer registered, usually means eBay have banned them for exactly what you have described.
I have just finished a dispute, with someone for non payment and their status was changed to No Longer registered, immediately after the dispute had ended.
It can also be used as Suspension by ebay until things are sorted as well _________________ Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an a well kept body, but rather to skid in sideways, fag in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
so do i stand a chance of getting money back??? _________________

Personally I would stick in a claim now saying you have not received the item and the user is no longer reigistered on Ebay so therefor you have no faith in the seller actually sending the item.
I have done this a few times (I buy and sell a lot of phones on Ebay) and what it does is freeze your money in his account (if he hasnt withdrawn it aldready) until he can prove the item has been delivered or you cancel the dispute.

how to get money back thru paypal
Dont hold your breath m8 I recently got got done by a DW member for a few hundred pounds .I did report this to paypal but buy the time they do their bit ,the con man empties his account so no money can be reclaimed to give back to ,basicly they find the case in your favor but have no funds to repay you.I am currently waiting on my card provider as afraud claim on paypal then the con man ,They take up to 10 weeks to resolve this I am still waiting...
Good luck.

mike why say not get in touch with ebay ?? ,they cover u up to £150 so a claim with ebay is worth a shot
and when i sold hardware on ebay the guy that bought off me told me had his ebay account hacked so claimed money via paypal and even tho his funds were in my bank he got funds returned so don,t loose hope 1888 _________________ NOTE: Any backups supplied to you are supplied on the understanding that you own the original.

Because Ebay will not even entertain a claim until the buyer has gone through Paypal .. try logging on to Ebay and making a claim .. you will taken through a list of questions and if you paid by paypal you are directed to their web page.
By all means go the ebay route if it fails with paypal but up until then there is no point.
