In liquid form sent from someone at EBay, I have informed them but they have not replied, what shall I do, I paid with PayPal. The postman handed the parcel to me and apologised and I have taken photos.
If the postman had apologised to you, do you know him to ask if he would put this in writing, if he will then contacted Ebay>>P.P. the seller should reimburse your money, don't let this drop.
I would get the postman to sign a letter to the effect before anything Tam, if the item was broke & the seller refuses to call / answer your requests then leave it to Ebay to sort out, I have done it myself irrespective of what people say about, Claims etc ( You have no chance ) that what I was told, they were wrong.
Quizproquo is correct on this, but I would give the seller another opportunity to reply first....after all, at this time of the year, they could be on hols for a few days.
Help and Contact is a tab at top of the page near your name. It leads you through problems. I would also mention that they are very helpful on the phone.
