Hi All,

I purchased this in February.

Skoda Octavia VRS damaged rear bumper on eBay, also, Skoda, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 15-Feb-09 14:45:26 GMT)

The seller has not been in contact and due to it being over 45 days I can't claim back from paypal.

His name is Tim Burns

I have tracked down this

Spraytech Bodyshop Of Marske

103-105 Redcar Road Marske-By-The-Sea, Redcar, Cleveland TS11 6HU

p: 07802853149 f: 01642282334

Anyone know of him?

Trevor

Have you tried phoning him?

I'm currently having a bit of trouble myself with someone on ebay :(. He sent through the wrong item, I've returned it but have yet to receive the correct item. Unfortunately, he seems to have trouble answering his phone.

Yes. He hasn't replied.

Have you left him feedback yet?

Can you try claiming on the credit card you used for Paypal?

The ebay dispute deadline is 45 days after payment - rather than the end of the auction. Does that help any? Did you pay by PayPal?

Get the North East Skoda Meetup group to pay a visit with a sack of doorknobs?

I have not left him feedback yet. Good idea on the credit card.

He spun me a story that he hurt his back and couldn't post the item. He strung it out that way for a few weeks.

Pity it's so far north or the London vagdrivers rep could pay him a visit!

It's actually my hometown too, wish I knew someone who could 'pop in' for you.

A few years back a mechanic in the same town fixed my Focus, I left it with him for a week because I had to come back down here for work. When I collected it there was a pay and display ticket for a day in Scarborough. The cheeky sod had taken his family for a day out in it!

I wouldnt have left it more than 21 days myself. That's ample time to send an item.

There is also a landline number you could try.

Tel. 01642 282334

The rip off Sellers know the 45 day paypal thing. String it out long enough and they're home and dry.

How does that moneyclaim thingy work?

I know its only 50 quid but screw the asshole at this stage.........

Get what you can... even if it costs you £50 to get it!!

Hope that pm helps
