VERY REAL SCAM PLEASE READ NOW


Recommended Posts

Posted

as a seller on ebay iv had a few items vanish in the post.

 

do you refund them and take their word??

 

i list my items as no returns/if goes missing not my fault

 

if they then bid im assuming they are happy with those terms.

 

its easy to be conned as a seller aswell as a buyer, especially where paypal is concerned who almost always favour the buyer, regardless of evidenmce provided, receipts etc.

Maaan, just been following these threads on the other forums, Mercs, campers, Micras (yes really) this is massive.

 

People on other forums are taking it out on the moderators and admins which is not fair - I doubt these guys are getting paid to do this job.

 

I guess we have to use our sense and not penalise the genuine sellers, just be wary of anyone who will post only, paypal only, no photos, no landline etc etc.

 

A word of warning about Paypal generally, you are unlikely to get your full amount back also see this site:

 

www.nopaypal.com - it highlights some of the issues in the way Paypal operates, you waive some of your rights by using it.

It's a brave man who makes threats against an unkown adversary. Plus you're breaking the law by doing it. I had someone try it on me once (I hasten to add I'd done nothing wrong, you can't send things back for a refund just coz you don't need them after all), I had his name, address telephone number and all the threats on record and passed them straight to the police. He was arrested and cautioned and I never heard another peep.
