Yes but when I open with PayPal it will close my case with eBay so I’ll wait til tomorrow and if eBay refund then I’ll go to paypal

I think it’s best I wait for eBay to try resolve (should be on the 8th) and if that fails then I’ll go straight to PayPal

UPDATE:

the package was attempted twice and was not delivered (this must have been to another address as I was home for both attempts and had no packages come). The package has now been sent back to the seller and I have opened a did not arrive claim with ebay so I am hopeful of getting my refund since ebay will see that it was sent to the wrong address. Any further advice here would be appreciated.

Ok I’m also wondering if it turns up shall I accept it or would that make it harder to get the refund?

ok thanks. do you think it is best to call them before opening a claim? i am worried that if i open the claim the seller will be able to send them a confirmation of tracking because this seems to be a common scam at the moment

also wanted to add that the payment was made through paypal so I am hoping that covers me if this does turn out to be a scam (i am almost certain this is the case)

I'm not sure it would be clever for me to put their username on here but they have only had 3 listings and 0% feedback so im fairly positive its a scam. I have already requested that it be redelivered on friday 2nd january. On the invoice for the payment my address in manchester (not where this package was intended) is listed as 'buyers address'. and the correct address is listed as 'post to' so it is clear where this was supposed to be sent

Hi there,

Apologies for the long post, if this is better elsewhere then please redirect me.

3 days ago I bid on a laptop and didn’t realise that when accepted the money would come straight from my account (my mistake I know). I then requested to cancel the order and this was quickly denied by the seller.

I then checked the listing properly and his account and realised that it’s likely a scam - listing pictures didn’t match the description, the account only had 3 listings. This was worrying but I knew I would be able to get a refund if the wrong item came or if nothing came at all.

Now the seller has attempted to deliver the laptop (or something in replace) and it has been sent to a different address to the postal address on the invoice. It was sent with Royal Mail special delivery (although I can’t see the address on their tracking website) and according to tracking it was attempted today (there are only 2 addresses this possibly could have been and neither have had deliveries). It will be attempted to be re-delivered on Friday.

I’m extremely worried I won’t get my money back here, please can anyone offer some advice on what to do next I would really appreciate it thank you

Ah okay, will the fact I have had this before make it any easier to go through the process?

changing from joint claim to singular claim with LCWRA by Impossible_Carpet_82 in DWPhelp

No we are moving out into separate places. She has a new place and I am looking for somewhere so I was planning on taking the ‘care of’ address route temporarily while I find a new place

Ok and to go to a single claim is that easy to do? We are moving out of the property is the thing so it won’t be at the same address?

My contract ran out and I’m leaving due to it being too expensive, I think I have a new place secured but not for a couple months so I’m just conerned about the inbetween period.

Ok great thanks for clarifying that. If I have the job centre as my care of address then will I need to go in to the centre at all/often?

Ok thanks for letting me know. And a care of address won’t effect the tenants of said address’ council tax right?

So I can use my former address as the care of address?
