Ebay

[Fusion5]

I have bought a garden chair from EBay for £94.95 when it came this morning it is a Robert Dyas product. Have looked on their web site and the same chair is selling for £74.95 with free postage.

I have emailed the seller conveying this information. Do you think they are doing anything wrong in selling a product at a higher price from a well known shop.?

[Tuvok]

Were they a private seller or a business seller.

Is the price on the Robert Dyas site a sale price?

[ummmm]

No.

You have a choice not to buy it and find it cheaper elsewhere.

[Fusion5]

Business seller. Original price.

Ummmm I didn't know it was a Robert Dyas product, otherwise I would have checked their website out.

Bearing in mind that most branded goods on EBay are seconds.

[EDDIE51]

They offered it at a price that you accepted, nothing wrong.

[Fusion5]

Update: they have just emailed me back and have refunded the difference.

The seller can offer for sale at whatever price he likes. I once saw a jacket I liked on ebay. I checked out the make and found quite a lot cheaper from the manufacturers own website so bought it from them. It is up to the buyer to check out the options and find it cheaper if they can.

[grasscarp]

You are very lucky Fusion. What a kind seller. Give them good feedback!

[Hopkirk]

A lot of people pay over the odds on ebay.

Personally I would prefer somewhere that I can take it back if there are problems.

grasscarp, I did check the item out on EBay and a lot of other business sellers were selling for a lot more, but my point was I didn't know it was a Robert Dyas product because otherwise I would have gone to their website.

I always leave good feedback.

[ummmm]

Glad you leave good feedback.

I get so peed off with people leaving bad feedback for the smallest little things. It's like only really grumpy people leave feedback.

One time I went to book into a hotel and someone gave it just 1 star...because....there was a loose roof tile!!!

Last time we went abroad the hotel got bad reviews because it was in a residential area! The hotel was perfect. People want to pay 1* prices and receive 5* treatment.

[Fusion5]

lol lol I wonder how they knew there was a loose roof tile. It's not on my list of priorities to get a ladder and check the roof whilst unpacking my suitcase.

Did they do anything wrong?
Morally, I would say yes....but they rectified this by refunding the difference and they deserve good feedback for it.

I never buy anything from Ebay unless I have done my research first.

[Fusion5]

I buy loads from EBay Mrs O. perhaps I should look more closely in future.

[Fusion5]

I've just noticed on EBay, the seller I purchased my chair from has put the price up to £99.99 on the two remaining he has for sale.

[mrs_overall]

Fusion - the cheek of the seller!

If I see something on Ebay I am thinking about buying, I always check other sites first.
I am after buying an item which costs £16 in the shops. I found the item on Ebay for £12 this morning. I then had a hunt around and found the same item on Amazon (new) for £8.

That's a lot for a pair of comedy dracula teef, Mrs O ...

I've bought 1565 items (small) from eBay since 2005 and only once found it necessary to give a neg. feedback.
