I was so excited when i spyed a mono Recital on US eBay a little while ago for $199. It looked quite well used from the pictures, the vachetta was quite dark but i can live with that. I "umm"'d and "ahhhh"'d over it for ages and then finally took the plunge with the Buy It Now just before the auction ended because i knew i was gonna loose out. I'm not fussy about the condition of bags so long as they are presentable and the linning is tidy and clean.
I'd set aside a bit of money to go towards a bargin if i saw one and this was my chance. So i payed over paypal and waited for it to be delivered.
I checked the progress of delivery every day when the USPS site updates (which is in the evening over here in the UK)
So i checked it wednesday after work and it said that there had been an attempted delivery at 6.59am that morning. I am studying away so i had it sent to my parents house so that i could pick it up over the weekend and head back to my place of study. So i called them straight away to make sure it had arrived.
Mum didnt know anything about the parcel and said they hadnt even left a note to say they had tried to deliver, Which is odd because my parents dont leave for work until 7.45am
So the courier who had taken the parcel when it arrived over here had lied. Which seemed odd. So thats the first thing that annoyed me about the parcel.
Then on thursday I recieved a letter from the courier saying that i had to pay £34.06 in customs costs. Which i dont really understand! But i paid it anyway, so my bargin of a handbag isnt so much of a bargin anymore but I really wanted a recital so i figured "Yeah its worth it!"
So i've payed up the extra and so the parcel arrived on the friday morning.
The bag style is perfect but the condition isnt as i had expected. The photos on the auction didnt really show the true condition of the bag so i was really dissappointed when i opened package. The seller has so many disclaimers in their listing that it is impossible to return it, the only way i can return it is if the bag is a fake. Which i know its not. This isnt a case of buyers remorse because i love the bag but feel it wasnt truly represented in the listing. There are 2 pen marks inside the bag and it had grey hair in it, i thought i was going to be sick. And there are funny white patches on the canvas, but they aren't really very obvious you can only really see them upon closer inspection.
Within an hour i had re-photographed it and put it on eBay again, and now its in its box waiting to be bought.
I've never been so upset by a purchase on ebay. I can deal with the extra cost because i thought the condtion would be better than what it actually was. I dont even want to look at it. I just want to cry.
Is there anything i can do? I am so annoyed and upset by this transaction. HELP!
(mods please move the thread if i've put it in the wrong place, sorry!)
