This is a new one on me!I bought a fairly low cost item, around £10. After a few days, the seller contacted me to say they don't have the item. They asked me to cancel my order, promising an immediate refund.I do hate it when sellers try to sell stuff that they don't have.I cancelled the order as asked-probably my mistake. The seller declined to accept the cancellation, refused to refund and stopped responding to messages.I raise a complaint with Ebay. The automated system finds in the seller's favour, so I have appealed. I will raise a further complaint that the item has not arrived when the time is due-which is tomorrow. The seller has only been on Ebay since July 2025, and has yet to receive feedback of any sort-we all have to start somewhere. Anybody else come across this one before?
