cbacon 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2004 I recently sold 4 pairs of concert tickets on Ebay, 3 of them made it to their destination. One hasn't yet, and the concert is tomorrow. It's odd since, its one of the pairs i sent via express post. The woman didn't inform me of the tickets not arriving till yesterday ( a week after i sent them). So without trying to resolve anything she posted negative feedback and is demanding a full refund. Had she told me earlier i would have looked into the situation (is there anyway of tracking down mail?) What to do in a situation like this? Refund her money because the post office screwed up? Refund half? And of course, theres still the possibility the tickets could show up tomorrow! Oi vey... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrRant 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2004 I wouldn't believe her because a buyer should have: 1. notified you in advance 2. would have contacted you personally then through EBay's feedback system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Krazy Karter Report post Posted March 5, 2004 Alright, so then I'm assuming there's no way to track the shipment. Did you keep the Express Post receipt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it only says that the package arrived in the woman's country on 03/02. It doesn't actually say that it was put into the woman's hands. It could have arrived in the country, but possibly lost in the mail or not even given to her. I'm not saying that she's telling the truth. I pretty much have no idea. But C-Bacon, maybe you should hold off a little before you start calling her a liar. EDIT: Ah well Karter, you responded right before I posted the message. Damn you for taking away the worth of my post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2004 Are the tickets for a specific seat? If they are and you remember the seat number/section etc, you could call the venue and ask them to check the 2 seats at some point in time. Give them the name/id of the person who bought them. 3 Situations could happen if they do check them: 1) Seats are empty. Either the tickets were lost or never delivered. Give a refund. 2) Seats have people who bought them, but were claiming never to have gotten them, no refund and you post negative feedback. 3) Seats have persons other than buyer in them, tickets were stolen, you'll still have to give refund but you could probably get your money back.

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted March 5, 2004 Two ways to consider how far the sender and reciever are from each other. I recently had a friend from CA ship me a package tuesday with Express Mail, arriving earlier today and I live in FL. That isn't as far as say the North-east and South-west, but it's a long ways for mail to travel. The other is the two live so far apart it takes forever to recieve.

Just post a negative feedback on her and respond to her's in your ebay account. If you have a reasonable explanation, no one will care about one negative feedback.

cbacon 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2004 Chris I never received the nickelback tickets...i drove up to hamilton and bought tickets from a scalper. i'm new to ebay and im really disappointed in this whole transaction...i've paid you for tickets that i never received then drove up to hamilton and paid even more for crappy seat tickets. i will go through every step necessary through ebay or pay pal or whomever to get my money back from you...i shouldnt have to pay for merchandise i didnt receive, and it was your responsibility to get the tickets to me. even if they arrive in the mail now, obviously they are worthless to me. either email me back or ill take this up with ebay/pay pal/my credit card.

Guest Krazy Karter Report post Posted March 8, 2004 Well isn't it only express mail until it reaches the border? Say I send something express to Canada via the US Postal Service. It's shipped to Canada via express mail, but once it reaches the Canadian postal service they have no obligation to transfer the package at their express rate. Therefore once it's in foreign territory it becomes a standard parcel. Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
