i got a question on ebay shipping.
i bought 3 items from a guy, he group'd them up and sent me a ebay bill. i paid the bill thru paypal with a confirmed shipping address.
well, he sent me a note 3days after the sale and said the item was shipped priority USPS. i did not add in for insurance but it wasn't offered on the bill either. yippee, i was happy, not bad turn around. well, its 16days later now and the item isn't here. what should i do?
the way i see it is similar to ordering from a catalog. i pay for an item. thats it, my end is complete. seller has my money. now its his responsibility to get the item at my door. if it doesn't show up here ill call him and tell him. send me a new one or refund the money. obviously with ebay there isn't another items the same here so he can't just send another. i figure i'll give it another week just incase the mail screwed up and its finding its way back here. though with 3day priority shipping it should have been here 13days ago. i wrote the seller and explained it wasn't here yet and asked him if he had any receipt number/tracking number or something i could follow up with the post office. he said no tracking and the receipt isnt a tracking for priority so that woudln't do any good either. this is true but copy the reciept and show me you sent it or something.
so do i wait for the 30day time period and ask for my money back..if he says no since i dind't ask for insurance then what? file a greivance with ebay/paypal? how does that go about working?
