Ripped off on ebay..
« on: May 27, 2002, 11:31:31 PM »
I bought a memory card for ps2 off ebay a few weeks ago and now the user that I bought it from all of a sudden has gotten 50 negative feedbacks in past week all saying she took money a never sent item.. Her email address doesnt work anymore so what the hell should I do... I just bought it off ebay because it was so hard to get here (hawaii) and now this ****.. I know it\'s only 20 but it just pissed me off.. LMK what you think I should do....

Lets just say your buggered. They really only trace things of large value.

Can\'t you report the seller to Ebay. They should make things rite. Or how did you pay. You can always denny payment if you used a credit card.

Just go here and search for the term "fraud."

Unfortunately, the item needs to be worth at least $25 for you to be eligible for a refund from Ebay.  But you can still try to get the person in a whole lot of trouble by filing a fraud complaint.

Consider getting a Paypal account and ONLY bid on something when the owner has at least +20 with no negatives.  You only lost $20, not a big deal.  Yours truly lost $180 for a Gamecube package that was never sent.

Actually, you have to be carefull, sometimes people have their passwords hacked/stolen.

Always:
-Try and use Paypal and a credit card, COD, or online escrow (so you can reverse the charges later - a must for over $50).
-Check the feedback carefully.  Is \'CDman\' with 1500 positive cd sales suddenly selling 50 $5000 TVs?
-Contact the person, because fly-by-night scammers don\'t really care enough to reply for small potatoes.
-Try to avoid using ebay for the small stuff you might be able to get elsewhere, bestbuy.com for instance, for a memcard....
