You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I sold a groupset on eBay a few weeks ago for not an insignificant amount (£550). It took me a few days (5) to get to the post office so the buyer opened a dispute and asked for a tracking number, fair enough, I apologised and ran off to the post office and sent it first class tracked/recorded. I provided the tracking number that day and eBay closed the dispute.
I have this guys money and as far as I’m concerned the transition is over, but he’s not collected the item from the post office and it’s been waiting there for over 2 weeks now. I’ve email just to nudge him but haven’t gotten a response. What is he up to? Maybe nothing
Does the parcel get returned to sender if it’s not collected after a certain number of days?
Yes you will get the parcel back if they don't pick it up (not sure on number of weeks)
Maybe they don't want it anymore and are ignoring it but odd way to go about it as you have their £550!
And if I remember rightly they can now no longer claim item not received as they have already done that…
eBay buyers are all odd in one way or another!
I thinks it's two weeks and it's returned to you - as long as you have a return address on there.
Did you send it 1st class signed (orange liable) or special delivery (silver label)?.
TBF I think most would open a dispute if they paid £500+ for a groupset on eBay and it hadn’t been posted after 5 days.
Not picking up bit is weird…
I've stopped selling on ebay.
The demands for access to your bank account were the push I needed to dump it.
Its the summer - its not unknown for people to go on holiday for a week or two.
Or to not be able to leave the house for 10 days... for some obscure reason...
J
And yet still not reply to the seller?
Gone on holiday, isolating or whatever but looks like the item is coming back to you after 18 days and you will then presumably have to send it to him again and hope is in no longer on holiday, out of isolation etc,.
On the darker side, he could be dead...
Maybe they were riding to the post office when their inferior groupset failed catastrophically. They were pitched over a hedge into the path of a combine harvester and well....
I bet they wanted the stuff before they were going on a trip, you didn't deliver in time, now they are away so can't do anything about it.
Maybe he's already picked it up but the tracking hasn't registered it?
I've sent stuff before that's shown as not delivered but can only assume it was as the buyer hasn't got in touch with me.

Brings a new meaning to bailing on a ride.
So they opened a dispute without messaging you first to see what the delay was? Or you just didn't bother messaging or responding until a dispute was opened? Not sure who the odd one is here.
You know how you took five days to send it, because things are a bit weird still?
That might be the same reason he's not collected it.

Nah, if that were the case then the buyer would have been on here asking for the MD of Ebay's email address and demanding the op, ebay or both pay for the ruined holiday.

I admire the attempt at a pun, but it's a bit of a rubbish one, I think you were grasping at straws

I could see there was one to be made but mostly could only come up with chaff so I settled on something barley passable.

What groupset for riding to Threshers?
That's better, proper Claas
*sigh* if nothing else there was always the predictable mosaic of terrible puns.

Oh woh, Wheat a minute Mr Postman...

Agree with squirrelking, these jokes are a little corny.
Well if you have any better cereal puns I'm all ears.
