A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

It looks like I am about to initiate my first "Item Not Received"
Stupid me, bidding on an item offered by seller with fresh and zero history.

Seller had very same item (older SLR camera) on two live listings, at some point, with different minimum bids. Of course I won the low one, paid same day.
In fact, he relisted camera again, figuring he may be ignore my winning bid, and not respond to my shipping queries.
I learned via the eBay forum that new sellers have their funds held for a while as they read "Pending", so my dude may be confused by that?
eBay CS was like, "hey take it easy, blah blah.."

All this is a lot of work for an older ordinary camera.

I had something like that on FB Marketplace. After a week of them not shipping I got my money back.

Few things can be as frustrating as dealing with dishonest people through ebay. It seems like it is going nowhere and taking forever, but ebay has done right by me in those cases. Fingers crossed, and don't let it push you over an edge.
