Issues from ebay seller

"silverguy"

Hi bros



I need some advice from season buyers or sellers here.On 19 October 2011, I had bid successfully a Seiko 6139-6005 from a seller name "JRES11". I would think the transaction from ebay was quite smooth. There were still correspondence via ebay for two months to trace for my watch since it has not arrived in sg. For your information, the package was delivered by USPS via International Letter. The last whereabouts of my watch is still stuck at WARRENDALE, PA 15095 on 19 Jan 2012.



For the last two days, I have tried to contact the seller to ask him whether he can do anything about it. Since then , he has not replied.



The question is is it normal for such items to stuck at US for so long??? or the seller is trying to pull a fast one???



Anyone can advise me what can i do?? or just simply wait for the watch to arrive at my door step???



Thanks alot

Thanks Bro oOsiMm. I asked him several times whether he could check with USPS but he replied he could not. There is certain links in USPS websites only accessible to US residents. I had asked him to try again just now. Hope he reply my email.



Crossing my fingers now....:(

I've actually dealt with JRes before (shipping w/in USA), and found him quite helpful. This is an issue with USPS, either having lost or misplaced your package, not something wrong w/the seller.



Think for registered mail (which this sounds like), there's a 6month window to make an inquiry as to the package's status. Has this been done yet?

Since you're yet to receive the package, is it possible for him to claim insurance? Was the package insured?



Hopefully you are able to get the package soon and the steps mentioned above help.

thats e very common situation...(general opinion)..and I am guilty of this too ...that I am not usually be the first to ask for my purchased item to be insured ,be it buying from WUS/YJ auction/SCWF etc.. probably I never been bitten hard enough. Thats for general mid range watches but I will try to work out an insured package with the seller for high cost watches. But then there are many times when seller insist on insuring the package,I'm ok with that if the cost to top up insurance isnt that much.



One thing I found for USPS(certain method of sending),DHL,fedex and even singpost... not all accept watches/jewellery to be insured and if there is a basic insured amt,it be a very nominal amount like,singpost registered post and EMS.. very pathetic amount nia... and to topup the amt(not all method of delivery allows topping up esp for watches) will bring the cost much higher.



But to be fair,I guess neither of you nor Jres talked about insuring the package or suggest sending it via a trackable method(not the stats track)..

Bro has Jres decided and firm on the '1/2' refund? else you should talk with him if can nego to 25%- 75% ..



its really a touchy issue..depends how well both of you can communciate and trust each other....

I got a feeling that it's lost in the mail. I bought a 6309 from US before, send via USPS, untraceable, seller offer split half half, I took it since it's better than no watch.



End up the watch appear almost 7 mths later, returned to sender... he probably got the address wrong. lol.
