i think prob very quick to judge. the items were posted just over a week ago, there has been a bank holiday in that, 2 weekends and numerous postal strikes. not saying your wrong to be cautious, but prob be quick to judge. i have bought stuff off ebay on 27th that havent arrived yet, i have also posted stuff out a week ago, that people havent had yet.

People on here are far too quick to claim 'scam'

Seems to be the in thing next to the 'I went to a pet shop and was shocked' threads.

Nobody seems willing to wait or give people a chance to explain, far easier to start a witch hunt on here

hi to all

i think the way the post is you will need to give them time??

before the witch hunt starts

the thread sounds ok to me

the prices are trade prices sounds like he / she just wonts there money back

i think give them more time

the 28th was a Friday and then there's a bank holiday in the way. Treating with caution and getting in touch with Paypal after 4 working days is extreme.
It took over a week for my insurance documents to arrive after being posted first class and 9 days for my tax disc to turn up. 1st class isn't guaranteed next day delivery.

Although on the flip side i'm always cautious about buying from newbies. 34 posts and registered since August, personally i'd have stayed away but it does't mean they're a scammer just because something hasn't arrived within a week.

I've had problems getting post the last couple of weeks. Livefood last week took 3 days to get here when it only takes 1 or 2 days usually, never longer. I had something sent out from livefoods.co.uk very early on tuesday morning first class and it only came today. Nearly every time i've ordered from them it's been here the next day if not the day after. I don't think there are currently any strikes but i'm guessing there's a back log of post.

yep, there's going to be a back log from the strikes and bank holiday. If packages are sent then i'm guessing letters would take priority as the postman can only get so much in his bag.

Ordered something on tuesday from ebay from someone else and that hasn't turned up yet....

I also ordered from this person, they took a while to answer pms so maybe things are just taking longer than we all expect?

I am not worried at all, as people have said there has been a bank holiday plus strikes this week so that can't be helping.

we had a strike here yesterday, so, yep they are still going on. we have been monitoring our post over last few weeks, and we actually only get post 2-3 times a week, where it used to be every day,and its not like people arent sending as much, cos we still buy as much off ebay and stuff.
