I have sold a Canvas Painting through e.Bay.in (an online worldwide store) for Rs.1500/ . I did currier the painting in excellent condition to the buyer of my product .

It was supposed to reach the buyer within 2 to 4 days as I paid for Flight courier. Now please see the following points - 

1) It reached to the buyer after 10 days  after making lots of calls to courier agency

2) Buyer received the Painting broken into 12 pieces.

3)Buyer raised the  claimed and I had to pay back as per rules of e.bay.in 

4) I asked the courier agency for such delay in service and mishandling and they refused to answer any question and said its not our fault and said your item may not be properly packed.

5) I replied that If it was then you should have refused to take or should have guided us to properly pack. I asked my losses to pay back me Rs 1500 and Rs700 courier charges.

6) They are denying and even not answering my calls.

 

KINDLY GUIDE ME WHAT SHOULD I DO . I HAVE LOST MY PRODUCT , MONEY AND EVEN CUSTOMER AND REPOTATION IN E.BAY.

PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS

I agree with the Learned Advocate Bhartesh Goyal. So Submit your petition in the Gurgaon Consumer Forum for better decision.

under C.P.Act complaint can be filed where Opp Party resides or has Branch Office to do business or cause of action wholly or partly arose. In your case if the Branch HO is situated in your area you can file. Pl note for administrative reasons Branch Office is dfferent from HO. You can also file leave petition to file complaint. The Supreme court in Sonic Surgical V/S National Insurance Co Ltd 2009 STPL (WEB) 123 SC2 clearly held that 'Inour opinion the expression branch office in amended section 17(2) would mean the branch office where the cause of action has arisen.
