I would think he is liable because he didn't get a locksmith in to do it..the question I would of asked him, are you a qualified locksmith?

That's a really good point actually, I reckon it's worth a try and if you are leaving anyway, what do you have to lose?

As long as you have a police report number and stuff should be a goer I reckon. If the cops have come around and had a look, they could back up on the reaer entry option (in regards to the robbery that is)

How come when I look at ebay under the G1 section, there is a poop load of rotf and movie 1, Cybertron and many other toys that are plainly NOT g1 related, not even by name...?

What is with some people who buy things on ebay then dont contact you or give you feedback! If youve got time to buy youve got time to let the seller when you can pay etc!

I have had a constant issue with a certain buyer in perth, he has bought items several times but takes sooo long to pay or even let me know when he is going to pay! I dont mind waiting as long as they let me know.

Just a note - never had any other issues with buyers from perth

haha i have similar problems, i dont think it can be avoided.. other then refusung to sell to the buyer, put a clause in the listing, payment must be recieved within 7 days (unless arangements made) otherwise failure to pay blah blah blah


one thing that bugs me is when you buy something and pay instanly they dont leave feedback till after you have received the item and left feedback for the seller, now i just dont leave them feedback till they have left it for me paying promptly.....

i have probably had about 50 people fail to leave feedback over the years on eBay... it is still frustrating every time.

Yeah, can block buyers too which I am going to do if this buyer doesn't get there act together.

True, but its a buyers world, sellers can't leave negative feedback so most wait for + feedback to be recieved which is I think is fair. Some buyers leave negatives for really silly things so the seller doesn't want to give + feedback and then get a - feedback over something trivial. Ie slow postage after 1 day or item was bigger/smaller than expected.

i understand that but it should mean nothing if i win an auction and pay within ten minutes of it ending. Feed back should be left to reflect that i was paid promptly, and then they need to follow up on their service to receive positive feedback in return, its like your held to ransom.....

I agree with this but obviously that's not the way a lot of sellers conduct themselves. Personally, I appreciate it when sellers give me feedback directly after payment has been made.

when i sell items it is a practice i like to keep, i give feedback once payment has received + an email thanking for quick payment and my intentions/expectations to post the item.

i just think it is the rught way to do it.

[jazzcomp]

i delay feedback until I receive the item as a buyer. Coz I could never receive the item.
But I almost never get any feedback as a buyer until I give the seller feedback.

If I paid promptly, the seller should give me feedback right away and not wait until I give a favorable feedback before he/she gives one.

[Lint]

The seller is witholding feedback until the buyer gives feedback because some buyers are bastards and give negative feedback for trivial things. Or worse, claim they never recieved the item and file a dispute to get their money back thereby obtaining the item for free.

Its when sellers don't give feedback after +ve feedback has been given that I begin to get irritated.

When did Aus post become rip off merchants, i went to post a Lego Minifigure which last week cost 1 dollar in stamps the week before and this week the exact same minifigure in exactly the same packaging cost $4.55 because now you apparantly cant put a letter into the slot you have to drop it and let gravity post it for you... there goes my free postage from auctions.....
