Warning About Ebay

Ebay seems to be getting worse with *unts trying to rip people off !!!!!!

Luckily paypal have got back my money the last time, fake dvd's and no response! .

Think i've just been done, looking closer at the guys feedback they are mostly for 99p things he's bought ! and fake ones, like dvd bought at 9pm and feedback left at 9.10pm, saying thanks for the dvd, or something

So just a general warning to everyone who uses ebay... just be careful of who you buy from. Cos paypal will only get your money back for you a couple of times a year, then your on your own

This has been a public service announcement on behalf of the pissed of ebay users association

exactly why I never pay using paypal.

At the very least if I send a personal cheque i have their home address .. not foolproof I know but it does go someway....

Won an ebay auction for a welder once, when said i'd collect (they were local) and pay cash on collection they seamed to go on holiday for a long time.
Neadless to say we never botherd persuing it, the welder probably never existed.

I tend to collect and pay cash for most items bought of ebay, that way you know exactly what you've got before you pay for it. The only down side is that most items on ebay seam to come from home counties or 'up north'/scotland.

well the guy that tried and failed cos i got my money back, has been kicked off ebay.

I'll let you know if my suspicions are correct on this second one, he's just started getting bad feedback, but also good ones... so we'll see

i sold a car the other day, after this guy had bid and won he rang up to ask what the panels were like! i said 'bent, just like the advert said...' and he sounded put out! then asked what the alloys were like, (steel, i said), and asked what i meant by the open diff it had fitted....

i was suprised he actually bought it in the end, thought he was a messer for sure!
