Not in a miracle way like Jesus, or whatever, but back all the same. Before I start my non-sensical ranting I'd like to thank KYZ22, BlahPro and some n00b whose name I don't remember. Oh, and Ali for un-banning me. Thanks for the support. Onto the post...
Since I've been gone, I've learnt a lot of things. I've been listening to Bad Religion a lot, I've realised I won't get into University and I've realised that my parents are becoming increasingly disillusioned by the codified utterances I spout every day. Short of a lottery win or a miracle, I'm ******. But despite this bleak outlook I'll soldier on. This was gonna be a comeback post to signal a new LOCKY but I've been sitting at a computer for 8 hours staring at a screen of monotomy that also parades as my coursework. You'll forgive me if I'm a little tired. I'll write something worthy of the forum tonight but until then, I just want to ask a question: If you send money to someone for an item on eBay and they don't send the item, what do you do? Thanks. Locky.

You don't deserve to use ebay with a stupid attitude like that. When someone has traded say 30 times, and they've got 30 pieces of positive feedback, they'll most likely be e-mailing with you updating the situation, etc.
I've never had a bad ebay experience.

Simple answer is to check a sellers feedback. If they have 50 odd positive feedback (and you check that at least some of these items have been them selling stuff rather than buying it) then you know they won't con you. People don't give users positive feedback if the items they bought off them are broken/never arrive do they...
Thats the reason I never use ebay because some people will just con you, I don't trust anyone I don't know.

Judging by the first post anyone who didn't know better would think you'd been away for months.
You were banned for about 3 days.

Can't be as bad as something that happened to me on Ebay. Ordered some CD off a bloke in Germany I think (somewhere in Europe anyhoo). Anyway, I send him the Euros with my addy in the envelope so he can send the CD to that address. Instead of writing out my address properly (or even just tearing the address I'd written on the paper in the envelope out and sticking that on) he writes the address as:
Isle of Wight
England
(he may or may not have put 'Shanklin', the name of my town in there somewhere, I forget) Point is, he was stupid enough to think the CD would get to me. he wrote no street name/number down, not even the post code. Thankfully he later E-mailed me (by this time I'd given up and assumed I wouldn't be getting the CD) to say he had got the CD returned by the post office and he needed me to E-mail my address so he could send it again. Blummin incompetence. But aside from that, Ebay has ruled.
Infact I had a worse experience trying to get CDs from a record label (Burning Heart records) who are based in Sweden... didn't get my CDs till about 4 months after I ordered them... but that's another story... :D

Oh, he actually sent he got sent off on short notice. Now I see. Crisis over:D So far my eBay experiences have been smooth. I could write a whole post on eBay, though... *thinks* that's what I'll do. I'll be back:)

Yeah, but it's the principal... and stuff. Got reply from him. He says he 'sent it to wrong address and just got it back'!!! So long as I get it in the condition I have been promised I'll leave good feedback. We'll see!!!
