Re: E-BAY - BEWARE!


I use ebay all the time and have brought and sold many items,however i will not except paypal.This aint ebays fault however report the buyer to them and if they have done this before they will be banned.I never let items go before payment has cleared.There are way to many overseas buyers/sellers on ebay now

Re: E-BAY - BEWARE!


Nah Mags, I got an e-mail last night saying that they are investigating the matter - it's very frustrating because you can't actually sepak to a person, it's all done via e-mail - no money come through so it was a total scam!

Re: E-BAY - BEWARE!


Ooh Abi I am so sorry, you must be furious. There must be something that can be done to catch the scammer, ebay must have some contact details for him/her????

Re: E-BAY - BEWARE!


Awww I'm sorry Abs

As PK said, I would have thought ebay had some details of the person as there must me quite a lot of people who try that on as it seems so easy.

Don't give up hope yet

Re: E-BAY - BEWARE!


It needs reporting to the police as it is fraud and the police would be allowed to get their details from ebay

Surely someone should be able to put a stop to it

Re: E-BAY - BEWARE!


Oh dear, it's not looking good really if the same has happened to someone else. Have you considered contacting the police, Abbi and seeing if they can do anything?
