thoughts on this brand new projector for 19aud free shipping

[Mr.B]

As at 1540hrs here in NZ, the seller "jiangshu91" no longer has any items listed.
Perhaps they have just woken up to the fact that their pricing bot screwed up...

Or, Santa has left the building,

Would still be interesting to see where this whole thing ends. I hope people get their stuff. But it does smell like a con.

Often times, people get con'd because of their greed: "I cannot pass up on that GREAT deal". As they say, if it is too good to be true, ...

Buyer protection...
I just have to wait until next Tuesday.
If it hasn't turned up, I will get my money back.
If by some chance I don't get my money back, no big deal... It's only $20... I will spend more than that on beer at the pub this afternoon.

We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction. If you've already sent payment, the sale should process as normal and you don't have anything to worry about. If you have any questions about delivery, please check tracking or contact your seller. If you run into any trouble along the way eBay is here to help. Please visit the Resolution Center to help resolve any problems you may encounter.

That one ended with lies from the seller, quick cancellation of orders and refund via PayPal, not eBay system. Thus, some people were left with "unpaid" orders in their basket.

Are you referring to StreetAutoParts or the item that is the subject of this thread?
I have had shipping notification - not that that means much.
Sale has not been cancelled or returned to an unpaid state...

Yes, StreetAutoParts and Keithley DC PS.

Waiting for the refund, and as well saw that the seller is no longer on Ebay.......

Same message here.
I very much doubt the item will arrive.
Under normal circumstances one would have to wait until the delivery time had expired before "visiting the resolution centre".
In this case the above ebay message now replaces the delivery details.
Also, what is not in the above quote from sony mavica is the additional text from ebay: "This user is no longer registered on eBay."
The usual process for the resolution centre is to contact the seller first... How is that going to work?
Anyway, I will just leave it until next Tuesday and then have the payment reversed.
All a bit of harmless fun...

I opened a dispute in the Ebay resolution center yesterday.

Today I get this message :
Good news! We issued you a full refund of XXX on Jan 01, 2015. The refund includes the purchase price plus original shipping and has been credited to your PayPal account.

This case has been decided in your favor.

Comments:
After reviewing the seller's recent activity, we decided to expedite your refund.

My ebay resolution centre seems to be trying everything possible to deny any kind of refund... I'm not sure what labyrinth of menu clicks are needed, but the best I have got so far...

"This item isn't covered by eBay Money Back Guarantee  [ Previous ]

Unfortunately, this item isn't in a category covered by eBay Money Back Guarantee.We don't offer buyer protection on items listed in the Real Estate category, certain Motors categories, or in the Classified Ad format. You can try to work out this problem by contacting the seller."

Have ebay reclassified it as Real Estate, Motors or Classified Ad in order to shirk their guarantee?

[Lightages]

I received a refund. If you don't get one, contact ebay about it directly instead of using the refund request form.
