Ebay user, stalling for time maybe ?
I have just purchased a pair of rear lights for the new car.
The auction was for 1 unit, but says clearly in the auction, both sides available, please state which you require.
So I bought the one, contacted them asking for a pair. Auction states free postage on second item. So on Paypal I sent them the total of 2 items + 1 postage charge.
A day later I get a reply to my Paypal payment. Now on my copy it clearly shows the notes I sent them, however on the version they have replied to me on, the note is missing.
Also their reply states...
Naturally, being the non working bum that I am, I have replied immediatly, via both email and Ebay.
Something tells me they dont have them in stock and are just stalling for time. So why not just be honest about it. Instead of making it look like I have done something wrong.
Planks !

Thank you for your payment for the above item. Please can you confirm which side you require?
There will be a delay in your item being posted until we have your response.

Agreed totally.
Sellers that never reply to messages, then items go unsold and get relisted.
Sellers that reply once then ignore you.
Buyers that waste your time all through the auction asking all sorts of questions then never even bid.
Watchers who just add you to the watch list then you get no bids, but 19 watchers !! lol
A company that protects theives, promotes scamming, and robs from the sellers twice per transaction, then offers no protection to you when you get scammed.

Snazy - you should have contacted them prior to bidding ... they'll probably want to set up another auction for the second lot, and then get someone they know to bid against you so to try and rip you off, I bet

And then contacts you because you have the word 'Ebay' in a domain you might own, and threatens to take you to the cleaners as well !!

Its a paypal error at the moment, when you put a message to the seller on the payment, it doesnt appear on their payment - so chances are they didnt get the message you left.

To try to sort out the to$$pot time wasters, it is not foolproof or cnutproof but helps a bit
i usually ask anyone with less that 10 + feedbacks to contact me first or the bid will be removed.
and
a 25% Paypal deposit paid immediately secures the item if not full payment i being sent by post.
