shadroch Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I won eleven lots from a single seller on ebay. Seller said he would happily combine shipping, and to wait until he sends an invoice. Three days go by with no invoice, so I email him. No response. Two days more, and nothing. Meanwhile I keep getting ebay notices to pay for the invoices. Yesterday, I sent another request for the total and he didn't respond. Last night,using a different email, I asked a question about a different ebay lot and he answered it this morning. Other than just wait for him to get back to me, is there anything I can do? Seller has over 20,000 transactions and lists over 100 items a week. I was the sole bidder on every lot I won, so they all sold for his minimum asking price. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he doesn't want to part with the items, or he was thinking he would have got more at auction...especially after he responded to your other email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Not really much you can do but wait or pay the auto invoice and hope for a refund of the shipping charges. It does sound a bit fishy but I can't tell if he is just flaky or possibly slow to weigh the package and send you a combined shipping charge. Or he could be pissed with the outcome and may cancel the order after a bit with some lame excuse. Really no way to tell at this point.

Popular Post Lightning55 Posted May 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2020 Show interest in one of his higher priced items by sending a message like this: "I'm interested in bidding on this item, but I haven't heard back on combining the auctions I've already won. Wondering if there is some kind of problem I am not aware of." Maybe if he feels he will get a new, large sale, things will suddenly "change". kav, littledoom, ThothAmon and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is responding to other queries though, the least he could have done is tell him "hey I'm having a little problem accurately accessing how much its gonna cost to ship" 17 minutes ago, Lightning55 said: Show interest in one of his higher priced items by sending a message like this: "I'm interested in bidding on this item, but I haven't heard back on combining the auctions I've already won.

Myowncollector Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Just wait it out. They will have to open unpaid item case to get their fees back. You then call ebay and inform them of sellers terrible behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickleRick1216 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 You could call eBay customer service and ask them to open a case. I have had problems with sellers before and they can act as a mediator and direct the seller to act on a prescribed timeline. They tend to favor buyers so that people don't get discouraged from bidding since they make a profit off of the final sale price. I would call them and open a ticket so you can at least start the clock and ask them to intervene on your behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
