Title: ebay RCD 510 beware
Post by: razor344 on November 19, 2013, 12:34:55 pm

not sure which part of the forum to post this bit i recently tried to buy this item twice

111220346033 

from

ameliaandjasmine


however both times ive tried to pay via paypal it says the monies are unclaimed and that there is an issue with there paypal account

i offered to collect from home address and pay cash after cancelling the paypal transaction to be accused of being dodgy so the seller wanted to meet in an asda carpark

now who sounds dodgy

it might all be legit but any other buyers please beware it might not be legit


my hunt continues for a RCD 510 with DAB


thanks for now

marc

I bought an rns 510 from someone off eBay a few years ago who met me in a morrisons car park. The rns worked but next morning the screen wouldn't come on. Unplugging and replugging it would fix it but 24hours later same problem..

I can't speak for the listing you have been trying to buy but you get the "Unclaimed" message when the sellers eBay and PayPal emails do not match. Both myself and the girlfriend have been there before and once this is corrected the funds usually transfer straight away.

This is definitely an eBay/PayPal issue their end. Nothing to do with you.

I wouldnt bank on paypal refund if faulty as i found out last year i bought a rns510 for the octavia from ebay uk seller with good feedback / fitted it & went faulty within a few weeks, email seller no joy - paypal claim no joy so i ended up getting refunded on my debit card through my bank.
