ebay

[lasto]

im new to ebay and buying something off there has not been a good experience.
I paid for soemthing up front by paypal and seller refuses to send it because im not verified.
Im pretty annoyed because i have to wait longer while i verify my account on paypal while they deposit 2 small amounts in my account.
The seller has my money and its been over a week with nothing to show.

I dont want help to solve my problem all i want to know is the seller within his right to ask me to verify my account before he sends me anything and is it ebays and paypals policy for sellers to only send stuff to verified accounts.

If so why dont sellers say in there sales if you are unverified then dont bother paying me because you wont get anything.Would save a lot of bother futher on down the line.

Gripe over

If they don't say that in the eBay auction that they won't send it to unverified buyers then they don't have the right to do that :|

sellers says this infact will post the actual email message :

Thanks for your email previously, we sent you a email after you paid, to regarding verifying your paypal account or send us a copy of proof of address, but with no response.

Obey ebay and paypal policy, we can not send any item to an unconfirmed address.this procedure is very important to us, please help us to complete this transaction. thanks and best regards If you have any further questions, please do feel free to contact us again.

Can you find it in the paypal and eBay policy that it says that?

i cant meself but ive not gone into fine print and i aint no seller - im just a buyer
I aint here to have a gripe at the actual seller so wont name them because im in middle of sorting it out with them but the bit about not sending to unverified users annoys me and really wanted to know if it was policy or not and have members on here sold to unverified users and been happy with the outcome etc

Try emailing Ebay safe harbor explaining the problem.
Check the listing to make sure there wasn't stipulation saying verified buyers only. I know I won't take payment from unverified paypal buyers, but, I made it clear in the auction terms.

You could try opening a dispute and resolving it that way :|

lasto, confirm your account and if the item still isn't shipped, then open a dispute with eBay. If you live in Texas you have the right to sue eBay if the item price is over $15.00 usd. eBay acts as a middle man and in Texas if the middle man doesn't hold there part of the deal, the you can take legal suite against them.

cheers!

Well, do allways what i do...

Before bid or buy allways read all the info and if there is anything stated that they dont ship to unverified address ask the seller that if you buy if they can ship to you explaining your situation...

I have did that and they said that because my feedback is 100% they can ship to me the item..

Allways ask if you have any doubt..
