My On-Line Life

On-line Scammers is at an ALL-TIME HIGH!!

Got scammed!

This person had over 319 positive feedbacks with only 1 negative feedback because the the complaintive was upset over the slow shipping services provided by the seller. The seller had recent good feedbacks. So I decided to bid on a couple of their items and won the auction for $120.00. I waited for the invoice and their email confirmation and then sent payment. We'd communicated back and forth and the compnay told me they received my payment and items are on the way. I waited patiently for one week and started getting a little concerned. i worte back and ask what carrier did they use, they said Usps. So i waited another few days and grew impatient. I sent another e-mail and this time I heard nothing back. I then decided to log on the auction site and to my suprise,the seller's name was "DISABLED"!

I have to say, this is the first time I've been ripped off like that and now I'm a little leary about buying items on-line but i guess it's the nature of the business.

Hello fellow member. SOrry to hear about your situation. If you mailed your payment your & seller isn't responded (or has been kicked off eBay), I would think your out-of-luck (unless someone knows something I don't). If you paid with PayPal there is HOPE. You can file a dispute through PayPal. I also recommend that you file a dispute (as long as it's been over 10 days) with eBay so they have a record of this problem (incase seller is re-instated). Take care fellow member. Good luck with your future encounters on eBay.
