Ebay...

[dukedogsmom]

I wouldn't worry yet. It probably takes a lot longer for it to get to Canada. And I never erase ANY of my emails until the product is in hand. Did you check out their rating before you bought? I only got gyped once and that was for a cd that didn't play correctly. Unfortunately, I rated them before I tried to play it. Won't do that again.

I have over 100 transactions on Ebay and have lost money a couple of times. But I still go back Ask the person who bid for you to look up the seller's details in the "Items I've Won" list - the sellers email address is there. Send a friendly note, and ask if the item was shipped when they said it would be, and explain that you havent yet received it.


99.9% of sellers will go out of their way to help IF THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM - as they don't want a Negative Feedback.

I have found the key to resolving problems on eBay is COMMUNICATION! Good Luck!

I haven't had any problems, knock on wood.
Guess you can buy just about anything on there:

If you always use Paypal, you can be safe. I'd steer clear of money orders.
But, in this case, check his feedback. If it is good, then you're probably safe and it's just taking a while to get to Canada. Never buy from any new sellers or sellers with negative feedback.

My mom has a little slip of paper that we got when we put in the money order, is that what you mean?

That's so sad that they sell DOGS on ebay... how horrible!

Actually it is against the rules to sell live animals on e-bay. I had looked it up. The person selling this dog has a very poor rating on e-bay.

When ebay finds out, they will cancel that auction, and probably terminate that person's account. If you ever see anything questionable or illegal on ebay, just email them about it. They are very strict, and very good about taking things off like that.

I have been buying and selling hundreds of things on ebay for years. I've never had a problem. Feedback is very, very useful thing, don't forget to check it before bidding.

And, sometimes it takes a LONG time for things to get across the border, especially with heightened post-9/11 security. It could takes weeks and weeks. Just keep in touch with the seller.

Glad to hear they can't do pets. I had just typed in 'dog' to see what there was. Like little ceramic stuff and came across a real pup. Thanks for reporting it to them.

They do monitor auctions. My account was hacked into. Someone was trying to sell plasma tvs under my i.d. Dummy me had the same password for Yahoo email so I lost that email address. Ebay caught this hacking within a couple of hours, froze my account and deleted the sale items. They did a great job!

Glad that is not allowed!

The dog is still on the auction. When I e-mailed e-bay, their response said it could take 36 hours to investigate. I have this listed under items I'm watching. I'm seeing how long until it is removed.

I have bought a lot of things on ebay, but I always look at their feedback before buying anything. I haven't got stung yet, knock on wood as one of you said. I always use paypal too, it is much faster. The ones that uses money orders makes it too difficult to deal with, I'm lazy and just want to get the transaction over with. lol.
