I lost a few $ many times. The only thing I hate about it is that I worked so hard for them just to get scammed.

I have lost a $75 on eBay because of a scammer seller. I have paid for the item but it was never delivered. I have check on the seller's feedbacks before I transact with him. But feedbacks are not reliable.

From now on, I have been always extra careful on making transactions on eBay.

That is most unfortunate.
However, if you had transacted in paypal, you could have possibly made a chargeback and get the money back in your account.

I have only ever lost $17 USD, from one person, in total. It was still disappointing though!
