e bay grrrrr

[unrulyjulie]

have you ever bought something from e bay that you weren't happy with? Ive always been lucky, until this week.

After purchasing on there for over 4 years its finally happened, nothing major but an inconvenience all the same.

I bought a new battery for my Nokia and it is rubbish, it runs out in a day so i mailed them! I just got a mail back saying they are so sorry and will send me a replacement, but......wait for this, can i pay postage!!!! Cheek or what??? Grrrr, im not a happy bunny!

Just had another e mail from them after i questioned it and they said, yes, if you would like to pay just �1.00, then that will be very kind of you!!!! WTF???I know its only a quid but i paid my postage first time round.

Yes. I bought a blow up doll from China. Blew apart on the first night. I hadn't even named her. I tried to get a refund from Paypal, they just sent me sneery and sarcastic responses, questions about position, etc etc, the usual.

[unrulyjulie]

you tried a sticking plaster vor??? she could be repaired if you're desperate.

Hiya Jules

Have a read of the ebay thread on the other site it may be of help ;o)

[legend006]

iof youve got an older phone then its sometimes cheaper to just buy a pay as you go version 0f the ame one
last time i was home i saw 3 or 4 diffferent nokias on sale in asdas with credit on them too for a tenner

by the time you consider theres a battery and a charger too
you cant buy it seperately for that price
and networks irrelevant if you just want bits



DTH?

Hi unruly, can you complain through ebay?

[34years]

was the battery new ? my friend bought one from ebay it was not new it had been taken out of a scrap phone , check for scratch marks then reread his/her ad and check the small print.

[legend006]

vorrzy any reputable inflateable companion is normally sold with a repair kit
some even have a small c02 inflation kit too.
uses the c02 gas bulbs that were used in soda syphons.

next time i suggest you purchase something of a better quality.
its a false economy




dth'

i just think its bloody cheeky to expect me to pay postage again. Not sure what i do from here, shall await another mail. I will look into making a complaint if i can skyep. Seems petty for the amount though but its the iprincipal.

legend, my phone is an N73 and i have no intention of having another. I love it, it has a fantastic camera. It was one i got on contract and now i use it as pay as you go. I could never afford a phone of an equal standard now. I havent paid a lot for this battery or the new charger i got so it isnt a problem for me.
BTW, the sellers have great feedback.

[unrulyjulie]

34 years, it certainly looked brand new and surely they would have have bad feedback about it if this was the case. Maybe i just got unlucky.

A lot of the unbranded replacement batteries are rubbish,sometimes it is a false economy to buy them.I had exactly the same problem with a camcorder battery I bought on ebay last year and I refused the replacement battery and chalked it up to experience,mind you the people I dealt with wanted �5.00 for the postage costs not �1.00.I only ever buy branded now for things like mobiles and cameras.

i think they should change it for free.they will not want a negative

morning Jules

[legend006]

most of the nokia batteries from china are fakes
i got one with a charger for a fiver ansd it worked fine
others dont



a nokia battery is usually 20 quid so if its under a tenner then its probably not genuine no matter what they telll you.

like i said you can buy a nokia phone for 20 quid maybe 25 in asdas /tescos

...and good morning to everyone else

[unrulyjulie]

RESULT! lol

Just got a mail to say it will be posted out asap!

It is a genuine Nokia battery daffy, i made sure of that when i bought it.

well we shall see now if it arrives. At least they were prompt with their replies and gave in in the end! lol

[legend006]

julie how much was it ?

[daffy654]

If its a genuine Nokia then i'd definitely be annoyed.lol.

[unrulyjulie]

It wasnt expensive Legend but i checked the feedback, All feedback said excellent buy, so i wasnt concerned. All sorted now anyway.

[bigmamma]

Hi jules , unlucky I'd say , but not your fault , you certainly shouldn't have to pay postage on a faulty item but not sure if you will persuade the seller to pay . Batteries do vary don't they , my son had a new phone and from the start he needs to plug it in to charge every night , whereas my phone could easily go 3 or 4 days . xxxxxx

[legend006]

no probs


i know theyre 20 quid but new originals on amazon from 8 quid

adios
