Just on the subject of laws I was listening to Julian Burnside talking of the radio. He quoted some pomie judge who maintained that the doors of the legal system were always open to the general public in much the same way as the doors to the Savoy hotel were always open.Quote:

The plot thickens a little. As I mentioned before, Ebay promised to refund my purchase priceincluding postage, which came to US$26.70. This has been done.
Then, after not hearing since 15 July, the seller contactedme yesterday as follows:
“9534611428027188027907 was the tracking number”
There was no pre-amble or explanation as to why he had remainedsilent for all this time and he had not replied to any of the emails I hadrecently sent.
I checked the tracking and found it had been delivered tothe shipping facility in Hawthorne, California. I contacted the facility bylive chat and explained the problem. I suspected that there was a problem witheither my name of the storage number and in that I was correct. The storage boxnumber was wrong so it had just sat there in limbo.
So now, because of the trouble I had experienced to date, Irequested a picture of the goods. I have seen it and verified that it is theitem I purchased. It looks like after all this after deducting the postageincurred for the re-posting of the other item, I now owe him US$7.00!
I have contacted him outlining the sequence of events andcommenting that the complete lack of communication was responsible for theescaltionof the dispute to the Ebay police.

If I understand it correctly Paul, the extra cost of the postage also included shipping what you thought was your item to Milmerran. Now you have to organise to get the actual item you ordered shipped. Take his US$7 out of that postage cost and he probably still owes you money.Quote:
