I bought an item from eBay and it cannot be shipped to my country I paid but I don't think he'll give me a refund help?

I think you should ask refund from him, if he refuses, you can complain with ebay.

Most sellers on EBay are honest people who are trying to provide a service, but there are always a few bad apples. Always check the sellers feed back before buying anything to see how they handle disputes.

If you have a friend in a country where it can be shipped to, this is an option.

If you can't receive the item you purchased, he should not be entitled to keep your money. But! It is not the sellers fault the item can't be delivered - so the most fair way to handle this may be to compromise - ask for a refund but offer to allow the seller to keep a restocking fee. If the seller has already mailed the item - he is out the amount paid for shipping - he is entitled to be paid for shipping (if his money was spent). If the item has been mailed, you may have to wait for him to get the package back, before being refunded - which may be some time.

I haven't used EBay since they made all the changes - but seller-buyer feedback was very important to most sellers. If he does not respond to your email and he refuses to compromise - let him know you made your purchase in good faith and you have no choice but to give him very negative feedback if you do not hear from him in 24 hours ( or whatever seems fair to you.)

EBay has a complaint process, also if you paid by Pay-Pal you should contact them too.

If you paid by credit card you may be able to get a refund from your CC company if all else fails, they will at least freeze the payment to the seller until you reach a compromise.

If I have a PayPal balance of 15000 can I buy 12000 worth of items on eBay using that balance within 24 hours if I have a premier fully verified account?

Theoretically, yes. If you have a balance in your verified PayPal account you should be able to spend it freely.

As you are looking to spend a large sum, though, you might expect that some temporary restriction will be placed on your spending until PayPal have verified that it is you doing the buying and not someone who has gained access to your account.

Why does PayPal ask for CSC when you are not using a credit card to buy on eBay?

To buy on e-bay you need a Pay Pal account I do believe you need a credit card to register on Pay Pal. You do not have to use it you can pay direct from your banking account. You need to register your banking account too and Pay Pal will

verify this ( it takes about 3-4 days if you have on line banking) or you must wait until your next bank statement (they deposit small amounts in the account) and they ask you you to enter it in a field.

But you can use your credit card to pay for something at any time.

Where can you buy gas mask filters in Australia NOT EBAY?

Look in your classified telephone directory under headings such as "safety equipment" or "safety supply." In the larger cities you will probably find one or more companies that sell this sort of equipment to the industrial market. They may not have brick and mortar shops, because they sell through sales people who visit their customers.

How long does standard flat rate shipping service take from storm lake Iowa to Bessemer Alabama?

I assume you are referring to the United States Postal Service (USPS) Flat Rate Shipping Service. If so, there are some choices ...

1) Express Mail. Flat Rate Envelope (12.5" x 9.5").

2) Priority Mail. Flat Rate Envelope (12.5" x 9.5"). Flat Rate Box (11" X 8.5" X 5.5"), or Flat Rate Box (11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8").

Delivery times: For Express Mail, USPS lists the shipping time as "Overnight to most areas". But, providing the zip-codes for the two locations, USPS shows a "Service Commitment" of 2 Days.

For Priority Mail, using the zip-codes for the two locations, USPS shows delivery time of 2 days. It is usually accurate within one day. Priority Mail delivery can take from 3 to 5 days, and in isolated cases it can take longer. There is no guaranteed delivery time for Priority Mail.

I used these zip-codes for delivery information: Origin ZIP Code: 50588 (STORM LAKE, IA), Destination ZIP Code: 35023 (BESSEMER, AL).

For more information, or for other origins/destinations, you can visit the USPS website at usps.com.

To calculate postage or quote delivery times:

1) Go here:

2) Click Calculate Domestic Postage, or Calculate International Postage. There is also a choice for Calculate Business Postage, but this is for shipping larger volume of mail such as bulk mail or pre-sort mail.

3) Select the package type, and enter the weight.

4) For Domestic mail, enter the From and To zip-codes.

5) For International mail, select the destination country.

6) Depending on destination, package type and weight, there may be additional questions such as package shape and dimensions.

Very few animals (alive or stuffed) are allowed on eBay. You would need to check the Animals and Wildlife Products Policy section on your own local eBay site, because legislation - and what eBay permits - varies from country to country.

Do you need a credit card linked with PayPal to pay your eBay fees or is just a linked bank account enough?

You can just use your bank account, if you want. When you set up automatic PayPal payments to pay your eBay seller fees, the money that you owe will be taken from your PayPal balance. If you don't have enough in there, the remainder will be taken from whichever funding source you have added to your PayPal account. Assuming that you only have your bank account registered, the remainder will be taken from there. Should you have both your bank account and a credit card registered, the order that they are used to fund purchases/eBay fees is as follows:

PayPal balance

Bank account

Credit card

Where can you get a Bermuda carriage bell?

Go to eBay and do some searches. Such as "Bermuda Bell", "Carriage Bell", Streecar Bell", or "Cable Car Bell". They do show up but not a lot. The older ones are of the manual plunger type.There are also 6/12 volt models. They range from mint/in the box to used/in need of TLC. The prices average +/- $100.00, depending on condition. I have one on my golf cart and have had a lot of fun with it.

On eBay what if you put the money on your card and the seller receives it but they don't send you what they ow you?

If the seller receives the funds - but fails to send you the goods, you need to open a dispute through Ebay's web-site. They will investigate both parties involved and resolve any difficulties.

What should you do if you suspect an item you won in an eBay auction may be a counterfeit of a brand name item?

First, ask the seller directly whether or not the item is fake. You will have a recorded via email.

Check the seller's feedback to see if any other buyers have complained about fake merchandise. Most buyers may not notice, but usually one or two will.

If you truly believe the item is fake, dispute your PayPal payment through PayPal and provide photographs, if asked. If PayPal is taking too long, you can call their 1-800 number and inquire what you can do to speed things up.

You can lodge a formal complaint at the United States Postal Service website (www.usps.com) because using the USPS to ship counterfeit items is illegal. Notify the seller that you have done this. You will need the return address on the package that the seller sent you.

If you want to pressure the seller directly, start sending message to other bidders on the seller's auctions and telling them that the merchandise is fake.

Fill out Ebay's online dispute form. Ebay's dispute system is slow and unreliable, however. I would not count on them at all.

In addition to the above, UK residents can also contact their local Trading Standards Office for advice.

If you have some money on PayPal can they deliver that money to you?

No, but you can have it transfered into your bank account that the Paypal is attached too.

What happens if people don't buy the product that he won in bid in eBay?

The seller opens a 'dispute' with Ebay's resolution centre. Ebay will then contact the winning bidder to find out why they've not paid for the item. Once you place a bid - you are entering a legally bound contract.
