I am not a happy Bunny!!
I've had a standard email reply back from Ebay telling me that the seller has requested that I send the goods back for a full refund!! I have emailed the seller 3 times over the last few days and had no reply but according to Ebay he has replied to them? I don't think so! It is not an individual response from Ebay - it is an automated/standard reply. I have tried for nearly 2 hours to get a phone number for Ebay - no such luck. I can't get past the Resolution Centre at all it just keeps taking me back to the position the case is in now - send back the goods with a tracking number and I have to do it by the 18thAugust!! So I wrapped the bands back up, copied and pasted his address - which looks totally ridiculous (even the PO said that) - then the shock came - it was going to cost me £10.57 to send it with a tracker!!! So I had to pay over £10 to get £13 back - I didn't do it - I have sent it normal post and it cost £2.58. So now I have no tracker but I do have proof of posting so Ebay probably won't take my case any further. If any of you can obtain the 0208 number for Ebay can you give it to me please. I have found the 0800 number but the automated voice wants a pin number and I don't have that. I can't even go through the channels to get the pin number through the Ebay website! It's all too much for me I'm afraid so if I have lost what I paid then so be it. I will NEVER buy for HK again. I reckon every buyer is going to have the same problem trying to get their money back.

Rant over! - How is everyone?
Michelle - I have Baby Boutique - it is lovely but the pink papers are missing on the carts - unless you maybe get one of the newer ones that came out after the error was discovered.
Karen - Glad the sun is shining for you and that you are enjoying your holiday What was the Reward Bag? I will pop 'over' and see if I can see it on the Rewards site.
Adele - hope all is well with you - haven't had a chance to try the wee box yet - but I will - when I calm down Hope hubby is well - did you hear any more about the results of the tests?

Everyone else - I hope you are basking in the sunshine - it's even sunny here today

((Hugs))

Hi Lynda,

I am sorry to hear about the nightmare you are having. In a way i am not surprised. I once had a really bad experience with ebay and paypal and to this day never got all my money back (only about a quarter) after buying a lap top. Paypal were useless and I stopped shopping and using them for over a year. They only gave me back what they could recover and while the stupid resolutions go on it gives the fraudsters time to withdrawn all their funds and close their funding sources which is what they did to me or if there is no money in their account you cannot claim it back. I was alarmed when I saw the same item being resold and even though I gave all the details to ebay and paypal they were useless. I couldn't even prevent the next person being had too so it was awful.

Saying that I knew all this when I took the gamble and purchased this cart and they know that the majority of us won't return the items either. What a shame Nick wasn't going back to China as he could have got them in the country and then posted them from there at a cheaper cost!!!!

Have you been able to leave negative feedback? have paypal responded to you???

I wonder what happens if we refuse to accept delivery? does anyone know? will they be forced to refund me?

Nightmare.

Adele - make sure you take time to relax today.

Lynda,

What do you mean? have something to say? have something to say to post person? Is it sent tracked? so will I easily be able to identify it and refuse it? i expect I have a card waiting and it's at the sorting office. I will go there and tell them I don't want it and refuse it. Is that what you mean?

I probably still won't get any money back as they have prob done a runner and have no funds to claim back but at least I won't have to spend anymore sending it back.

I agree it was our risk and it was worth a go but lesson learnt

Karen xx

Thanks Lynda I will see what happens ... and will let you know.

I know what you mean that they are saying that the seller has responded surely they can see the messages aren't being replied to or at least if anyone can it should be them.

I posted a thread on the ebay community asking about refusing delivery (I know this is too late for you) and this was earlier I asked before you replied and this was the reply just now: -
...

Hi,



Yes, you can refuse delivery.
Tracked items are kept at the sorting office for 7 days before being returned to sender.

You have 45 days from making payment to open an Item Not Received dispute via the Resolution Centre.

Hopefully your friends have left appropriate feedback for the seller to warn others?! The seller has made their feedback private now, so won't be able to sell again until they unhide it!

....

I hope this hasn't spoilt your day Lynda and you have managed to get some crafting done etc.

Hope everyone else is having or had a good day?

Karen xx

Karen - I left negative feedback immediately and so had 7 others at that point. His feedback is now Private so I couldn't read what others had put I could only see that there were 7 Negatives and there had been no negs up till then. No it hasn't spoiled my day - I've just been really angry! Thanks for showing me the bag. It looks nice - not sure if I would use one that size though.

Lynda

Just popped in to say goodnight Ladies
Sorry I haven't been around much today, lots going on with other crafts, hopefully I'll have something to show you tomorrow
Huge hugs all
Adele

Morning Ladies
I was so busy yesterday, sorry I didn't get much chance to chat on here
Anyway, the USA kids went back to School yesterday, so am assuming that the UK kids have 2 more weeks ?
Karen - Hope you like your card/magnet when you get home
I have been helping out poor Rosa on her new blog, here she hurt her head yesterday in an accident and so I launched her new challenge blog on her behalf, so between gaining access to her blogger log-in and my own, it was gone 01:30am before I got to bed
Hope everyone has a great day
Hugs
Adele

Hi Pauline
Result on the council/Roadworks fiasco
So sorry to hear you are suffering sweetie, it is hard when it's the feet that are affected, I have rheumatoid arthritis in both feet so know what it's like when a flare up hits
Hope you manage to get some rest
Huge hugs
Adele

Hi Lynda I received the same message from ebay, I have not been to the Post Office yet but I am going to send my item back even if it costs £10 because it is the only way someone else will take responsibility. I think it is ridiculous that ebay know it is a scam and still make us pay to send the junk back to them. I see the sellers feedback has dropped from 100% to 80 something, although you cannot see what people have said as he has made it private


I have had a bad couple of days, my Gypsy died yesterday, it is out of warranty, does anyone know if I will be able to get my carts put on to a new gypsy if I get one?


I bought the better together cartridge and it did not work, I had bought it from ebay from US when I contacted support they would not take anything to do with it because it was not from UK registered seller, however the seller told me to send it back and gave me a refund, she said it only needed my Imagine to be updated, I had tried that before contacting anyone,cricut sync showed it was up to date. I sent for a new better together, bought it from Proudparents on ebay but I am having the same problem, again I have tried updating my Imagine but still no luck, I have only had my Imagine for around 6-8 weeks I have six imagine carts and all the others have had no problem loading. I must also say I did not have a problem with my Gypsy before it was linked to the Imagine (maybe coincidence) ready for binning the lot I am so frustrated

Afternoon all, Gosh its taken me ages to catch up today dread to think what will happen when i go on holiday! just have to read the last page i guess!!

Adele - glad to hear your hubby is ok
Karen - hope the head is ok today
Heather - hows your back now?

Everyone else - hope everyone is ok and getting lots of crafting time, certainly looks like it from the other thread as there are several projects showing.

Sorry to hear the HK supplier didnt come true, i must admit i hadnt spotted the cheap carts but i may have also been tempted to try it!

Anyone heard when new imagine carts are being released? I read somewhere there were some being released soon i thought!

Ang

Adele I have just seen the other thread (and your post above) and I love Flounder You are so clever and so kind

Anneh - So sorry about your Gypsy and issues with the cartridge.

Pauline - sorry about your other foot and hope that 40 winks helped a bit

Internet a mind of its own hence had trouble getting on here today ... but it seems to have settled down now. Been roller skating again at the rink and a woman fell hard and they had to call an ambulance. I have probably taught 3 kids to skate in the last week. They always talk to me and I end up helping them and my DD says I have the patience of a saint but I like to help others and its really rewarding seeing them get to achieve skating on their own.

Adele - so sorry about the magnet material ... I can easily send you some back to replace or something else you might want instead from SU as I am putting in an order tomorrow. Is there anything you want?

Hope you get your Gypsy soon.

Quick post before I take the doggie out and go to bed - been to work today so I'm knackered!
Adele - Who is Dallas Neath?? So pleased to hear thay your hubby's test results were clear I had the colonoscopy last year - I wouldn't say it was the most pleasant of examinations How are you now - hopefully getting stronger by the day? Love the Flounder card etc over the way - that is the first Flounder I've seen Which cart is he (she) on? I have another question - when you cut the magnets do you cut the magnet backing separate or do you stick paper onto the magnet and print & cut paper & magnet together IYKWIM Sorry - never done magnets before - I have the magnet strip and sheets and I wouldn't mind having a go at doing them for the youngest granddaughter. Hope you get a new Gypsy. I have been thinking about getting one but I am worried about the syncing and updating etc. A lot of people have had problems connecting it to the I and some of them their I has gone kaput in the process so it's kind of putting me off.

Karen - I bet you were delighted with your 'pressie' it was lovely!!

Anneh - I reckon EVERYONE is getting the same email to send the goods back - absolutely diabolical! When the cashier in PO said it would be over £10 I thought to myself "I've got to pay out over £23 to get £13.50 back - no way"!! I just couldn't do it - China is going to say they haven't received it anyway and I do still have proof of posting although that won't matter to Ebay or Paypal but I will fight on! There is more than me done the same thing. The maddening thing is that Ebay are now closing their shops down but for every one that they close - another 2 opens up the next day so they scam as much as they can then Ebay catches on that they have opened up shop again - and they close that one down and so on........ Ebay need to get a b...dy grip and stop them once and for all!!
Sorry to hear about your Gypsy Anne Hope you can get your carts sorted out - Adele will help you

Hope everyone has had a good day - it's been mixed here today but mostly sunny! Night night

Hi everyone! I did'nt get home until very late last evening and have been busy today,collecting cat from cattery,washing,shopping,had visits off all the grandchildren etc,no time to breath! I tried to type a post on sunday evening from MIL's netbook but the keys are so small i got fed up with it! I had considered getting one,mainly so i dont have to keep bringing my Imagine downstaires to do updates but am now having second thoughts,too small and my eyesight is not what it was either.
We had a lovely time in Whitby,only a couple of showers so cant complain about the weather,went on a jet boat,mini golf,bowling,had some nice meals and visited the craft shop yesterday before we left,picked up a few bargains:30 sheets of Bazzil bling 12x12 for £4.99,20 assorted decoupage sheets for £1!!,some ribbons,rubber stamps that were half price,i wanted to buy loads of stuff but had to be sensible.I would still like the Mellisa frances stuff i saw at dunelm but will have to wait until next week,hopefully they will still have some of it left.We visited MIL everyday at the hospital,she is in very good spirits and is making some progress but it is going to be a while before she can go home,they are now saying it will be the end of september at the earliest but she has accepted that she has no choice,luckily she has made friends with the lady in the bed across from her,she has been in since may! On friday when we went up it was MIL's birthday,unfortunately we could'nt take her out so we took a cake in and hubby had the idea of taking in party bags,just like children would take home,we put stupid things in like a water pistol,a keyring,notebook,gold coins,sweets and a party hat,she thought it was great and kept her hat on all day It was just a bit of fun but she loved it.In the evening hubby,Tez,Mel and me went to the pub and raised a glass to her,shame she could'nt have one. All in all,it was a good long weekend
Before i went away i had updated my Imagine so i could use flower shoppe but have found that it was ripping the paper when i tried to cut,i changed the blade but it did'nt make any difference,i shall have to look at it when i have some time,maybe i will have to calibrate everything again.I did get some cuts from FS via the e2 and really like it,loads of combinations with the various petals,leaves etc.Hope you are all keeping well,hav'nt had chance to read everyone's post yet but did catch what's been going on with the HK purchases,i am so sorry that it turned out to be scam and that it's costing you to return the items you were sent,i dont know how some people sleep at night ripping folk off like that,hope you get a good outcome.Must go anyway,i think i am going to get an early night,might read for a bit. May not be on very early tomorrow as i will have all the ironing to catch up on Goodnight all

Hiya all. Just wanted to say beware of sending your items back cos u might not get money back either. It's a shame these people give Hong Kong a bad name as there are so many things they could sell legitamately and make money on. If the feedback is private I never bid on stuffnow. Sorry u all got scammed but thanks for trying.

We havin really good weather here. Went to Belfast yesterday and walked our legs off. Going to Giants Causeway today. Hope everyone is well or feeling better today. Susan. Xx
