Seller giving me the run-around

Hiya all

Hopefully you guys / gals can point me in the right direction.

At the end of June I won two auctions with the same seller, the total cost
of the goods came to £13.
I paid by cheque, which the buyer paid into his bank straight away.
Since then all we've received is numerous email promising the dispatch of
the goods tomorrow / next week etc.

I think 6 weeks is more than enough time to wait for someone to wander down
to the post office and post a parcel.
So what are my options ?

Any advice gratefully received.

Pull their phone number from Ebay and phone them up, no-one like being put
on the spot and this seller is clearly messing you about.

You might want to also make a report to Ebay. (See rules and safety at the
bottom of the Ebay homepage and follow the links)

Remember to make the small claim in your local county court. That means
they have to travel there and if they don't show you automatically win.
Handy if the seller is in Dorset and you're in Aberdeen.

Yes, I did that once. What fun it was dragging someone from Kent to
Lincolnshire, just to see them lose!!! LOL

Not automatically, if they are a private individual they can request it to
be heard in their local court. IANAL etc
