 | | what to do when ripped off on ebay ???
|
|
I recently (about a month ago) won an auction on ebay. I sent payment and I haven't received my winnings yet. The seller said he sent it priority mail on 12/3. I have no reason to not believe him, but at what point should I take action and what (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) Actually, no. Ebay is "only a venue" - which is the electronic equivalent of an auction house. They provide a "place" and advertising, whereas any actual auctioning that's done is by the people who buy time. James (URL) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
