eBay scams beware

[humpo48]

They are sub human scum and would not know a days work if it came up behind them and hit them up the backside. Hope you can get your money back.

Its an expensive lesson, but one you clearly needed to wise you up.

 

Scams like will become more commonplace as the floodgates remain open

Sorry to hear and hope you get your money back.

Did you not smell a rat? So many threads on here about dodgy ebay equipment.

Never ever buy ANYTHING of value that doesn't have the option of viewing or cash on pickup. Especially with 0 feedback.

I wonder if he got his money back?

Thats awfull that mate-so sorry for the expensive loss. Under the Ebay rules I believe that if you havnt recieved your purchase with 45 days you are guaranteed a full refund. If you have missed the 45 days and paid with a credit card your bank will normally honour a full refund for 180 days..Good luck and I hope they catch the scamming bsdts..Nick Pearson, Timberline-Roe Ltd.

At present theres a posch cutmaster on ebay (search under firewood proccesors) they have no feedback and based in the Shetlands I smell a rat but apologise if genuine.

 

The last time I flew over shetland there was an almost total lack of trees. Since buying cordwood would mean shipping it out of Aberdeen I would be inclined to agree that there is a cheese chewing rodent in the woodpile

Was after a MB Trac with buy it now of 4k. Offered to buy but only on inspection of it up and running. Suddenly advert has been pulled off the bay.

My nearest miss was after I had just failed to win the Universal crawler (an absolutly genuine item and auction)

My Yahoo email account was hacked, and I got a very very very clever professionally written contact apparently from ebay, in respect of their "second chance" scheme.

Did I still wish to honour my bid as the top bidder had pulled out.

I was suspicious and asked a very experienced ebay buyer to vet the offer.

Clive assured me it was absolutly genunine.

I asked a couple of pertinent questions and smelt a rat.

Contacted ebay.

Who were "all over" it very promptly.

The key lay in me spotting they did not wish to use paypal.

I then bought the Fiat crawler sight unseen from an ebay contact I knew knowt about and paid by bank transfer.

Prior to delivery.

Because my gut instinct was it was genunine.

Fortunatly it was

phew.
