I have just gone to say my item hasn’t arrived and EBay states there is a Royal Mail postal strike!!! I’ve checked online and it states there are NO strikes….. are EBay lying?
Mmm, I've not heard of any strike, a local one in your area ?? Even so, if your item doesn't arrive after a reasonable time, then open a case for item not received for a full refund.
e-Bay saying something that isn't true through incompetence? Very likely — it's probably an old notice that they haven't removed from when there were strikes.
