eBay mistery -
Squeaky - 21-10-10
Guys and girls,
I have got an eBay-mistery maybe you can help me solve.
I bought a pair of NBA-Supes in the UK. At that moment I had a UK-registered address (delivery also) because I was bidding on another pair which the seller wouldn't ship outside the UK.
I won the NBA-supes. I changed my addresses back to my own address in Holland and paid for the NBA-supes. Delivery to Holland was 10 pounds.
PayPal and eBay both show my Dutch address as delivery address
Today I discovered the supes were delivered to the address in the UK.
How is this possible? Did the seller ignore the delivery address and somehow found my address in the UK somewhere (is that even possible for a seller?).
I'm going to London next weekend but if I wasn't I would pay for them to be delivered to Holland AND I already paid too much in the first place. Delivery within the UK was 6 pounds.

A pair of superstars boxed recorded signed for mail 1st class with royal mail will be £5.50 ish and thats not double boxed and going on the weight of a size uk7..Probo not signed for your talking £4.00 so i wouldn't really say you've been robbed postage cost wise.
As for the address issue!!No idea regarding that one but maybe the seller got the "your items sold" email from ebay stating your Uk address and ignored or took the address from that 1st sold email rather than the paypal item paid email with the changed address...Hope that makes sense

I've never sold anything on ebay so not really sure about the address, when you won them did you have the uk address as your address?, when I get won notification from ebay they some time have the sellers address on them maybe it the same when you sell something. I'd deffinatly be asking for a refund on the postage though if that the price you agreed for shipping to Holland and they've sent them to the UK

Pokey, I don't really understand what you mean with "so i wouldn't really say you've been robbed postage cost wise".
Let's say postage within the UK would be 4 pounds. I still paid 10 pounds for delivery within the UK.
OG, I was registered as a UK-user when I won the item, not when I paid for it and entered the delivery address.

Yeah when he's got the automatic ebay email saying you'd won, no doubt your UK address was on that.
You only changed it when you sent the paypal one.
Not so much a mystery, more down to the fact the seller wasn't really paying attention.

I paid 10 pounds for one pair Poke.
Strange things keep happening. I bought a speakerset from a guy in Italy. I got an invoice from eBay and paid right away. Two days later the seller says he didn't receive the money. I checked my PayPal-account and he is right. I tried to pay again by using the same invoice but eBay says I can't pay because I probably already paid. I can't find a paymeny-confirmation in my mailbox either..
