BEWARE of Argos on eBay

In early May 2010, I saw an item on eBay. a small FM radio with 2Gb MP3 storage. So, I ordered it. Grand total of £11.38 including postage. After a while, a small package arrived and I opened it up - to discover that it was only a MP3 player, no radio.

I wrote and told them, they said to return the item. I did that, a further £1.11 in postage, not to mention the hassle of having to go to the post office. A few weeks went by, I heard nothing. I emailed them, they told me to return the item as they don't do exchanges. I had already sent it back, they seemed to miss that bit.

Still nothing, so I lodged a dispute with PayPal. They advised me to return the item and obtain tracking information. This was a month after I had sent it back, and I had said so in the claim. So, I filled in their form (again) to say it had already been returned.

A few days later - PayPal say I supplied invalid tracking information so they've dismissed my claim.

I spent £11.38 buying it, £1.11 sending it back, I don't have the item, I'm well out of pocket.

Screw you PayPal and eBay . I'll not be buying anything else

Total rip-off
