Default Ebay Fraud - 01-04-2006, 12:06 PM

Ive always wondered what Ebay has the power to do with this sort of situation:
[url=http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=alisher71&items= 200&which=all&interval=&page=1&frompage=-1&iid=-1&de=off:a966d]scam[/url:a966d]

so basicly this means that your at the mercey of the seller on whether or not you will recieve what you paid for. if the guy is an asshole like this and decides to sell a bunch of shit he doesn't have then disapear after he recieves all the money, there is nothing ebay can do for you except terminate his ebay account....very comforting.

If they used PayPal, they are covered up to a $1000, I think. Probably just have their money tied up in red tape for a bit.

I got beat once for $20 on a DVD. Wasn't the type of transaction that would break the bank account but it was the idea. Fucker even left me a negative feedback saying he received a late payment so he gave himself up in the feedback response. Since i sent payment via M.O., i just chalked it up as a loss.

Only thing is.....i know his address and the next time i visit my family in Va. i'm gonna swing by and see if it's a store he was selling from. People who rip others off suck...especially right before x-mas. Buyer beware.

First thing I look at when buying is previous feedback. Can anyone say DUH when you see 120 negative feedbacks? its their fault.

That's exactly what I thought. Apparently, though, the guy put all the items for auction at around the same time - a difference like a week or so. So given the time the item would take to ship, etc., the other people bid on the items while being shown only positive feedback.
