Digital speedometer
I bought a digital speedometer from eBay and I received a different one then what I wanted, I was trying to get a refund but it's eBay and I've been on the phone repeatedly about this and it's turning into a headache, I paid $45 for it so I'm asking $40 just to be done with it.
I don't want a round speedometer, not my style, I'm willing to work on shipping. This is what I received. https://m.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Mot...%257Ciid%253A9 |

There is no paper-trail with phone. I always take screen-shots of original items with "paid" shown.
1. Dispute it with vendor via eBay channels. 2. Then take it up with PayPal if needed. 3. Then credit-card company that funded PayPal account. |

I have original email for paying for the product, I don't have a eBay account so I checked out as guest.
When contacting eBay I advised them that it tells me to upgrade to a free account to request refund. So I did that and it tells me I don't have a purchase history so it wouldn't let me open a dispute. Contacted eBay about it they contacted seller on my behalf, then they asked for pictures of item and it wouldn't let me respond. Contacted eBay again and they advised me that I need to login to respond and I argued with them about how it doesn't work. They keep telling me I need to respond/work with the seller to get a refund and since they are responding they can't step in and help. |

This really sucks. Most of time on disputed transactions, I've found it much, much easier to get refund and re-order correct item from someone else. I've had great resolutions where seller refunded my purchase and had to go all way to having credit-card company reverse charges because eBay & PayPal were no help.
Sounds like you've got to reconcile your guest-account transaction with your new registered one. Perhaps getting eBay to consolidate those would at least put the transaction into your registered history. Not sure what their mechanism is for that, but anything's possible with computers. Just have to find someone who knows how to push correct sequence of buttons. |

Got a refund on the item and still got to keep it. So it's still for sale.
Im going to re wire this one to let everyone know how to wire it up and if it works. |

Yeah, I really like the TrailTech stuff. Easy way to add tach to bike that didn't come with one.

I'd also like to add that, as a seller, plenty of people have been able to get refunds when I've done nothing wrong and the product is still fine. I've heard eBay's been cracking down on scummy buyers lately, so maybe it's better now.

They agreed to give me a refund and keep the product.
So I got my money back but I no longer need the speedometer I already bought a different one from Amazon so I am still wanting to sell this one. |

The fitment guide says it's just for Hondas? Do you know if it will work for a pregen? Have people on here used this one before?

One time as the buyer USPS showed tracking all the way to my house, delivery confirmation and all. I got no package. Filed a complaint despite the tracking number showing it was dropped off at my address, and was refunded nearly immediately. It was not a part that could be replaced so I also worked on my end calling USPS, calling local office, contacting manager. He said he was going to talk to the driver after I told him I get packages nearly every day and never have this issue, sometimes delays but never tracking shows it was here and it's not. I never heard back, but the very beat up package showed up 2 days later, obviously having gotten dropped and lost somewhere. Having been boned as a seller before, I made sure he got paid back for the item. |

I’ve been getting really poor tracking with USPS lately. In last month alone, I’ve had 5-packages “lost” when checking with their system. I open ticket to have them search for it... nothing! I call the recipients, and they got it a week earlier! To this day, USPS claims those packages are still en-route!

Same here, I've found that USPS tracking can vary, depending on how well the counter workers and others down the line do their jobs. It used to be that the counter worker didn't scan Priority Mail labels upon receipt, and if they didn't get scanned later, tracking would show they were never taken to the Post Office. I had a customer in Canada write me an angry email, calling me a liar for saying I shipped a CDI unit when I hadn't. He apologized later when the package showed up.
Interesting note: Don't use Express Mail for overseas packages, thinking it will be faster. Sometimes it is, but more often the items are held in customs a long time, and the customer that paid extra for faster service gets screwed, because once the package gets to the customs office in the destination country, the USPS considers it delivered, and your "guaranteed delivery" time is met. I don't know why the Express packages get held in customs longer, maybe it has something to do with crime or terrorism, and they get opened and examined. |

Always fill those packages with a ton of glitter. Customs love glitter

I think the problem arises when the sender initiates the delivery with DHL, FedEX, or UPS and they hand off to the U.S.P.S. for local delivery. Recently I had a package delivered by DHL to Stowe, Ohio. The post office in Stowe never entered the DHL tracking number into their system and tracking died. I did get the package. A second situation came up again involving DHL as the origin sender. For two weeks It showed that a tracking number was created but DHL had not received the package. I cancelled the eBay order and my money was refunded. The package was delivered by the U.S.P.S. the next day.
A package was shipped from the state of Washington on 12/12/17 and has arrived at my post office this morning (12/15/17) at 5:22 AM. It will no doubt be delivered today. Moral of the story - don not use DHL, FedEX or U.P.S. Bill
