Memento region 2 blu ray - Thoughts?

[theprestige85]

Hey guys, so I ordered the German Memento blu ray from some geezer off ebay. I had to persuade him to send it to me as originally he set it to send off within Germany. According to ebay, the blu ray was supposed to arrive no later than April 6th. It's now the 11th. I've contacted him saying the delivery is late and he hasn't responded at all ):

Should I be worried?

The eBay delivery estimates are not too bad but they don't account for anything that can happen on the way, especially with international delivery like this. Give it another couple of days, send another couple of messages to the seller stating your intent if the item doesn't arrive, and then open a dispute if nothing shows up.

Regardless of the bad press surrounding eBay, there aren't many sellers on there that are out to scam people, so don't worry too much about that. Disputes are quite a powerful way of getting sellers to respond, and you'll get your refund whatever happens -- either from the seller or from eBay themselves.

EDIT: Save all your correspondence from both you and the seller (if they reply!) in order to prove to eBay that you were trying to get in contact and weren't overly confrontational or anything.

Wow, thanks a lot, mate. I do feel a bit more reassured having read your post. I've also just checked my mail and it seems like he is suggesting that it may take up to take weeks for it to get to me as it's done internationally. So i'm just going to try and remain patient and not get my knickers in a twist.

I've saved all the stuff between us and my payment receipt and the like just to be on the safe side. It's just that for so long I avoided ebay and stuff because I was always over worried about being scammed as you say, but you're right, people would have to go through a crap load of effort to just scam for 10 quid hear and there.

Again, I thank you for your reassurance.

No problem at all, mate
