Hey guys, need some help. I won a graphics card on ebay and paid using paypal last Thursday. The seller e-mailed me saying he would send it on Friday using special delivery. So far I have not received anything and have not got any replies to my e-mails, I even tried contacting him on his home number he has registered with ebay but that doesn't work. Where do I stand?

How have you paid?Comment

I have paid using paypal. The auction only had the ebay protection in it, not the paypal. But I am aware that when paying using paypal you are covered using paypal protection. I have filed a case with paypal and lets see if I get my money back or the problem resolved.

hey lads,
sorry to hear about your gfx card deal, but hopefully it should be ok. give it until the end of the week in case he hasn't posted it yet.
i've had a few ebay related problems, including a phone from some girl who didn't reply to emails as her hotmail was playing up (either that or it was full) but she eventually posted it around two weeks later (and via special delivery instead of the agreed 1st class standard) with a big sorry on the parcel
i'm guilty of taking my time to send items though, usually because the post office is quite far and the queues are long so my boss gets vexed if i'm out for a long time
however, i always keep in contact via email as i find it extremely frustrating to have no replies to my emails (or late replies)
oh on a side note, there's a new service called pppay. i've tried it a few times and it's really good because
a) it's faster to deposit money than the other ones (i'm on paypal and nochex), doesn't take 4 working days or whatever
b) if you send the money to the wrong person, and they're honest, they can decline it, as money isn't actually transferred until the seller clicks the 'accept' button once payment has been sent
c) they have one of those escrow thingies for 49p, where they hold on to the money and then send it when the item has actually been received
d) no, i don't work for pppay
seriously, it's pretty good so far, and the more services you sign up to, the better. www.pppay.co.ukComment

This guy seems to be selling the Sony Ericsson P910 for extremely low prices.
Email i got from him:

with a general informations.
Now we are trying to sell the remaining

The units are brand new still in their original package factory sealed,unlocked for any networks!.
They ship with all the accessories provided by the manufacturer and

As soon as we agree upon the trasaction terms I will make the S&H

He lives in Belgium and expects to be paid via Western Union - which sounds like a scam.
What do you lot think?Comment

Of course its a scam - if something seems too good to be true, it is.Comment

All the previous feedbacks are for crystals or jewels - not mobs
Looks like a scam to me as it's pre-approved only and it says the location is UK not Belgium.
Plus - It's ended now anyway.

ok i admit, i've now jumped on the bandwagon. i'm selling my steering wheel and decided to bundle my outrun 2 demo and xbox live sub with it to boost the price. in the title for the auction, i put wheel + outrun 2 + xbox live trial
well there wasn't enough room to put 'demo'
bet some sap's gonna bid a lot on it (or rather, hope )
yes i know it's cruel but what can i do. besides, i've mentioned it's the demo clearly so that should save me from negative feedback

It's a con right if I get a
email and the link is: ht tps://signin.ebay.com/saw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&UsingSSL=1 but the shortcut is an ip address: ht tp://212.201.71.130/.secure/safeharbor.verify.ebay.com/login.phpYou have received this email because we have strong reason to believe that your eBay account had been recently compromised. In order to prevent any fraudulent activity from occurring we are required to open an investigation into this matter. To speed up this process, you are required to verify your eBay account by following the link below.
I also got a 'Thank you for signing up to Direct Debit' email this morning. Should I be worried or just ignore it all?Comment

As Marty and I were discussing on IRC last night, these scammers are getting a bit clever. Even if you did have the foresight to check the link (as you did), perhaps not being fully au fait you'd look at the ebay.com bit and still be inclined to click.Comment

So it is a scam then. I'll delete it. Maybe the DD one was a renewal or something as it could be a year since I set it up around now.
How do you find out exactly where the mail was sent from again. Email addresses can be forged can't they?Comment
