although the scam i am talking about is about a year old..never the less..i feel its good to make others aware..
on ebay around a year back i bought a laptop and paid for it via paypal and then later the guy never shipped the item(600$)..the laptop was an alienware designware and the feedback was also good!
the thing is he was a professional con..and then i filed a claim with paypal for a full claim..and know what? i just got 175$ return because the paypal guys said his account was having only that much account before closing it..
you have to be careful...after that i usualyl buy only from powersellers...and with very high positive feedback...
This has a paper trail so the culprit could be tracked down especially if he or she is a verified Paypal account holder. Why not request the information from Ebay and Paypal?
unforunately..i was not much knowledgeable of ebay's workigns..and was kind of noob..must have taken more care..nothing can be done as of now as its long gone..the disputes closed..no he wasnt verified paypal member..
Hi.If he was a professional con then he would have not verified the account out of fear of getting caught.So is there any other way to get money back from a scammer???
Yes thats the disadvantage of trusting people on e-bay.Nowadays there are so many issues like this you have to deal with powersellers as mentioned above.
