I bought a UK 60GB PAL PS3 for my lads birthday recently
The add was quite specific that it was a UK PAL version.
I knew what to look for and bidded with confidence
I don't actually understand the workings so when it arrived I gave it to my daughters boyfriend to check out ( he has one)
It became apperent very quickly that I had been ripped off yet again
It was infact a region 3 Japanese import ( if that means anything to you guys)
briefly as I understand it, it doesn't do half of what its supposed too :bang:
I imeadiatley contacted the seller who so far has ignored
polite requests for a refund but it seems ( a quick ebay search) that he has done this before to "someone else" who I am now in contact with.
He sucessfully got a refund by going through a solicitor that he knows personally, so at least he had a result.............
I started a paypal dispute which apperantly is not monitored by paypal initially and takes around 20 days before they get involved.
I have to wait 10 days before ebay will "accept" a dispute being filed.
Luckily ( I hope) it was payed via a credit card linked to paypal so I phoned them
A less than helpful and barely understandable opperator told me that I had to fill in a form and that would take 10 days to arrive
( from India I guess :shrug
One minute he said that he would hold payment the next he said that I had to fill out the form first
so I am not quite sure where I am with this at the moment, I guess I am a **** for not buying one local and collecting in person........... (thats plan B ) but I still may well have been stung, as I said this is a little beyond me.
I think I have informed everyone that I should have unless you know different :shrug: Or know some fairly large guys up Lancashire way
Its my son I feel sorry for......... an 18th birthday and no (main) pressie
still I will take him out on the p'ss later and hope he feels a little better
