Stung on Ebay - any advice?

[StGallsGAA]

G's man, try this. 

Paypal is an Ebay company.  In the event of a dispute Ebay/Paypal will review your correspondence to date.  I d/k waht correspondence you;ve had to date but this should work, but do it all through Ebay, not via email.

Rather than complain about the build quality contact the seller to say more than half the parts are missing.  Be specific as you can so if there's 30 parts say 17 haven't arrived etc.  Lodge a complaint with Paypal and Ebay to say you didnt receive the goods and you've taken it up with the seller who has told you to get lost. 

Send a package of bits back to the seller via recorded delivery and email Paypal & Ebay a copy of the receipt to show you've done so.

If Ebay sellers can't prove the item was delivered Paypal will refund the money to the purchaser.  Ebay own Paypal so it's in their interest to ensure transactions go smoothly but your arguement re build quality might not be enough to swing it.   

I assume as it was a dolls house it arrived by signed for carrier but your argument that it was more than 50% incomplete coupled with proof you've have returned what you received  should hopefully convince Ebay/Paypal you did not get delivery of what you paid for.

Good luck

your lucky! i bought a motorbike on ebay near Birmingham. it looked class and when the guy rang me he told me it was mint. luckily it was cash on collection, so i booked the van on the holyhead boat cost me 130euro one way had to fill it with diesel 100euro drove all night when i got off the boat. totally fukd i pulled into a lay by for a rest about 4.30 closed my eyes for about 20mins only to be awakened by to cops who tried to say i was drunk but they didn't have a tester with them so they took the keys and me to the station. when i successfully blew into a bag and then a digital machine and they decided i wasn't drunk they said they hadn't time to leave me back to the van so they foned a taxi and i had to pay him £20. so its now about 6 am and I'm wrecked and freezing started to drive down the road and i couldn't understand what the noise was or where the breeze was coming from... some bastard had put the back window in . the only thing in the back was a new ratchet strap and they took it £12. so i kept going happy in the knowledge that I'd soon get my bike. finally arrived at your mans place and he wheels out this abortion and its not even the same colour as the pictures i printed off  after about 20mins of "allspark". i told him to shove it and he asks me not to give him  negative feedback. its still early so i head for stranraer have to buy more diesel £40 and book on the boat £110. sudo cream my arse!

That story gave me a good laugh and ever so slightly eased my hangover. Other peoples misfortune sometimes makes me feel better...dont know how you didn't nail him!
