Ebay Fraud

simacaj · 02-25-2007

Has anyone ever been involved in ebay fraud.

The only thing that I have come across it a person sent new a burnt dvd instead of the real thing. He said somehow it got damaged and he only had a burnt copy. Lucky thing he was a good guy and refunded my money.

Can't say I personally have been apart of an eBay scam, but know a few friend who has. He ordered an xbox for his son, it came in and everything, but didn't work.

I dont have paypal supported in my country and so I dont have a valid paypal and so I dont have any eBay account yet.

I've ended up with pirated DVDs too. In my case I didn't get a refund, and I hadn't paid by paypal so couldn't do a chargeback.

I always pay via paypal now for the buyer protection.

Yeah I always pay with paypal as well. It protects the buyer and the seller.

Well if he refunded your money it wasnt a scam then

he just didnt know what to do, but recently i bought some ipod headphones, no cover for it as they said it would be, i have contacted them but no response yet

I have been fooled on ebay before. I have paid for a dvd player but it was never delivered to me. Too bad paypal is not yet available on our country.

I prefer to go to a real shop as well, but some things just aren't available in my area so I have to buy online in those cases.
