Hi,
Have just made a purchase on eBay for 6K. Seller has good feedback on similar items, has a UK registered business address and the item comes with VAT receipt. Only option for delivery was Royal Mail special delivery (fully insured).
As a precaution I insisted on payment by Visa credit card for the protection offered.
Now the seller has 'forgotten' to send the tracking number to me. I rang them on their mobile and was told the tracking slip is at their warehouse, but they were now at home and not prepared to go back to find it. It probably is the truth, but now I am nervous...
What redress would I have in these circumstances against my card issuer should it turn out that: (a) the item was not sent by insured courier; and (b) the item is lost.
Cheers, Sarah xx
