I have been really happy with AS. Just the other week I made 5 snipes, and won all 5 items. I am not really a frequent Ebayer, so this is a big thing for me.
Anyway, I won the items, and paid for them all (except the PayPal one) on December 2nd.
Since then I have only received 1 item, and its been 11 days since I made payment. I was starting to get worried, so I emailed all the sellers asking them if they had sent the items yet.
1 seller (who I was getting two items off) hadn't even realised that I had made payment, even though I emailed him with a very detailed explanation of the transaction straight after I had made the payment. I still don't know if they have sent the items. But they hadn't sent them as of yesterday. This upsets me because 1 of the 2 items is for my brothers birthday on Monday (2 days).
Another seller hadn't sent the item, but was aware I had payed. He then sent the item, and was upset because it costed $10 more than he expected (and charged me for) for postage. This is obviously his problem, he should have received a better freight quote, and I would have been happy to pay it THEN. This seller also realised once he got home, that he had left a part of the item at home, so had to go in the next day and post it. I still don't know if he has posted this FORGOTTEN part.
Another seller was on the ball, and he sent the item, and I have received it, and wrapped it, and its now waiting under the Christmas tree.
The final seller, well, that is the guy with the USB HDD that you frequenters are aware of, Mr. Hong Kong Seller. I have sent him a few emails asking if the item has been sent, and have not received a reply. This is the one I am very worried about. He advertised the item as "4in1", but I have yet to figure out the 4th function.
Just wondering if all the 'dodgy' sellers are out to get me. Looking for advice. What would you guys do?
