basically it involved 4 emails supposedly sent by ebay,this included, invoice, payment protection details, sellar recomendation by ebay, all emails had working hyper links etc and ebay email address, payment was by money transfer(i know) but was supposedly covered by paypall and the safeharbour thing, emails stated that the sellar had put 2000 in an account held by ebay which ebay then locks for 30 days till confirmation of delivery from me blah blah blah blah blah blah il try and post copies of what i recieved

Worth a try but ebay's stance will probably be 'the mails didn't come from us so it's nothing to do with us'. Ebay's great when it works, crap when it goes wrong.

John; 'money transfer' - NEVER!.... sorry about horse, stable door etc. but if someone learns a lesson from this at least some good will have come from it. Sorry about the episode though.

I just don't trust ebay any more, definitly on the bigger stuff like chippers ,stumpgrinders etc there are too many out there using it for fraud and to sell their "dodgey gear"......

[John Barleycorn]

But you must have bypassed the most basic of security measures by not logging directly into the Ebay site and then reading your messages there.

 

I bought an Ebay bargain recently (from a non dodgey source), always logged in directly to Ebay, checked his Ebay star rating, talked to the bloke on the phone, paid by Paypal, collected it from his house.

I brought a £6,000 chipper, £3,500 mitzy and £8,500 Honda from ebay. + lots of other stuff. I won't get saws anymore as they're normally knackered. I also don't part with big cash without seeing the goods, but my honda was over £2000 off the list price.

 

It's a greatr place to but vehicles..

I have also spent thousands on ebay, never had a problem, as you say cash or bankers draft on collection or delivery only.

Never trust a bankers draft til its cleared.
