Also the buying isn't the issue, lack of communication. No refund being giving for a lost parcel, I can't claim from Royal Mail as even they state there responsibility is with the sender, refunds should be instant from moment item declared as lost in post. GAMBO did send me something, Royal Mail lost it. I am entitled to a refund regardless of royal mails terms. That's his business not mine. Mine is to get my money back. Not tight bank transfer was easier and quicker. Let's end this here. End of the day. No one has own from royal mails cock up. And I AM entitled to a full refund instantly. End if thread.
1) The seller has posted the items as he said. It is not his fault that they have gone missing, and I'm not going to attempt to argue that you shouldn't get a refund or anything like that.
2) You are well aware of the fact that the buyer is in the process of dealing with the royal mail with regards the lost item, so he is attempting to resolve the situation either by way of receiving a refund to the value of the goods sent or tracking down the item in question.
3) Assuming that Dusty is correct in saying that you chose not to pay any paypal fees then as far as I'm aware you actually have no right whatsoever for a refund. You sent money through paypal using a method which is clearly shown as being a gift payment, not a purchase of goods or services. By doing so you have sacrificed any protection you had from paypal, and if you try and claim a refund through them then you will be refused it as in there eyes you didn't purchase anything.
4) The seller has already said that they will refund you, so what is the point of all of the threats of court action? Give the guy a chance to try and figure out exactly what has happened and see if there is any way the item can be tracked down.
5) The accusations towards the seller about him not refunding you immediately because he'll have "spunked the cash" already are needless and do nothing but make you look childish. Has it not maybe occurred to you that he doesn't want to refund you while there is still a good chance of the item being found, as he doesn't want to potentially end up in a situation where you end up with your hands on the marker plus your money back.
6) All that you achieve by coming on here and acting like a **** is that people get a bad opinion of you and you're more likely to be treated in a hostile fashion in future by members of this forum.
