I used to shop on ebay for bulk hooks etc. Now I get my stuff from Veals or Monster Fishing specially when its free postage over £35. i DO Support my local tackle shop but I cant get everything i like, so online is the way for me!

You should get in contact with the seller mate, especially if you paid 1st class on it. If you do, make sure you use Ebay's messaging system so they can't deny receiving the message.

Over the past couple of weeks i've gone on a bit of a shopping spree on ebay, dont worry to much yet about the delay, it took over 12 days for me to get some tip lights i ordered, the guy said he posted them the day after i bought them and that there were problems with royal mail but stuff i bough 2,3,4 days later came first,

a polite email to the seller asking to confirm that the item has been posted should alay your fears for know (and give him a kick up the backside if he hasn't posted it yet), ask if there's a tracking number.

A handy tip is to go into the MY EBAY section of your account, go to your WON ITEMS, find the item in your WON ITEMS list, look to the left of it in the list there's a drop down menu box which will probably say LEAVE FEEDBACK, if you click on the down arrow and then change it to VIEW ORDER DETAILS, when the page loads it will show the item and the time / date you bough it, towards the top of the page there will be a DISPATCHED DATE, this is the date the the seller indicated to ebay that he had posted the item.

Hop that helps

I was ripped off on e-bay, along with hundreds of other people buying from the same guy, for a couple of coarse fishing rods. The bloke was still trading about two weeks after I had complained to e-bay.

On the other hand I get very good quality rigs from wizzco on there that makes it hardly worth your while making your own.

I NEARLY GOT RIPPED OF BY A GUY HE CASHED ME CHEQUE BUT SAID HE NEVER RECIEVED IT I INFORMED HIM I HAD HIS ADRESS
AND AS HE LIVED IN THE SAME PART OF KENT AS ME HE WILL B GETTIN A VIST GOT E-MAIL 2HRS LATER SAYIN BAIT-CLIPS WERE ON THERE WAY

I THINK IT WUD BE A GOOD IDEA IF ANY 1 ON THIS FORUM HAD BAD DEALINGS WITH E-BAY SELLERS
THAT THEY SHOULD BE NAMED AND SHAMED

I think you have to be careful everywhere these days when buying stuff - on line or in tackle shops.

I know someone who recently bought a custom built Century rod from a reputable shop and paid for the priviledge. Only I know damn well it's a stock CCC LD. So always, be careful.

Also, there is a link about good tackle shops on the main menu on the left.

Veals - always found them brilliant by the way.
