darrel Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Very strange one. A month ago I bought a model on Ebay. It arrived quickly. Last week I got an email from PayPal saying the money had been refunded as there was an issue with the sellers PayPal account. I messaged the seller immediately. A week later I have not had any reply from them. So as it stands in have a model that I have not paid for. And until they reply I cant pay them. Anyone had similar?

Pete 75C Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Yes - about 18 months ago. Bought two Bachmann locos advertised as new from a private seller. Arrived within 3 days. All was well, so I left feedback for the seller. There had been no communication at all from the seller and after a while had passed, no feedback had been received. No big deal, so I forgot about it. About 4-5 weeks later, I received a refund notification from PayPal - both items. Like you, I tried to message the seller but noticed they were no longer a registered ebay user. There was no packing slip with the locos, so I had no way at all of making contact. Total mystery... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymsa Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 A few years ago I had similar, I sold an item, got paid and sent it. I got feedback back from the buyer and forgot about it. About two weeks later the item came back to me as undeliverable. I tried to contact seller but no replies back. This does raise a legal issue, when these things happen who's the legal owner?

I would suggest a recorded letter to address the item was sent to if delivered, and if no reply , then I would store and then dispose off it in due course. I would not sell it on again.

Yes this was my take on it. In fact I never did sell it on to someone else, I kept it in the original box I sent it in just in case for many years but I guess it could be argued after 6 years it would default back to sellers ownership in law, that said I'm not a legal expert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir TophamHatt Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Yes, I bought some bulbs that happened like this. Bulbs arrived, but PayPal had refunded. I don't know what triggers it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess I think the seller may have been trying to refund someone and got the sales mixed up. I did this on a partial refund for postage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir TophamHatt Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If they're that bothered, they would have contacted you. I admire your willingness to want to pay again but seriously, it's not really for you to sort out. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
