Goods not received & unable to contact seller

[Rubysafira]

I've only had one bad experience with a seller here and I didn't blame the site nor did I give up on Ebid altogether. There are many, many wonderful sellers here, some of whom post in this forum.

Hope this experience hasn't turned you completely away from this site and here's also hoping that PayPal will be able to issue you a refund from that sellers account.

It was my point and I think it's perfectly valid!

It isn't necessarily a mistake to not make contact before paying, it's what most of my buyers do. It would worry me a little if your advice became generally accepted. Many of my items are, no doubt, bought on impulse and as I'm not always around to answer 'are you actually there questions' immediately. Well, you can see the logic. I'm fairly attached to the sales I get, not keen on having them reduced.

I'd much rather non-performing sellers were shot at dawn, hung, drawn and quartered or otherwise removed.

But you can see on your record that you are really here and trading regularly, so it doesn't apply.
