Van purchase, paid by bank transfer and now i notice it is not as described. Ebay not interested

[kayle.dybal]

Hi everyone i am really stuck here. I won an auction for a transit van, i now have the van and notice almost everything is not as described. Ebay cant help because i paid by bank transfer, banks cant help because i used bank transfer and not card. An unpaid item case was automatically opened on me even though i paid by bank transfer. Now i cant even leave negative feedback to warn others because i had an unpaid case.

Any help would be great as i am tearing my hair out.

Many thanks

James

Hi, 

Buying a vehicle on eBay should be no different to buying a vehicle from a advert in a paper. 

You do not part with a penny until you have been to view the vehicle and had a test drive and checked and double checked everything is in order. 

Only then do you part with your money. 

As yo have found CAB, your bank, and eBay cannot interfere with the transaction, especially if the seller is not running a used vehicle business.

You may have one thing in your favour.. The seller has opened a non payment claim for the van.. Therefore the transaction has not been completed, therfore your bank should refund you as its obviously gone to a wrong payee.. Send that to your seller and see what he does.
