Ebay scammed by someone who sold me an ipod.
Trust me neither ebay nor paypal are much use. Was a while ago but it was a pretty steep £200
so the ebay paypal saftey scheme to reimburse peeps who got scammed is just all talk?
no, but yes.Quote:

Myself i think you should allow 14 days when returning some RAM because its dud. Paypal disagree.
Evening all,
I've never personally been scammed online i dont think. My brother got done with a corker on Ebay. Paid £250 for a phone which didnt show up.
My mate ebay scammed....
eBay Faker about some Lee Evans XXL Tour last year... nearly scammed out of £400 :|
Luckily PayPal saw the ebay memebr as a faker and sent him back the money....
£10 for a Ducti wallet
Its not for alot of money, but the reason i lost out in the end was because I was honest...
There was a raffle for someones Skyline, 20 quid a ticket so I bought one for the hell of it. It took months for the draw to take place and once it did, it appeared that he had already sold the car to someone on ebay and suprise suprise they won the raffle too...
Here's the thing though, the scammer started refunding everyone who requested it. I did and he put 40 quid to my paypal account. I refused it and sent him a mail saying I was only due 20 quid...he said thanks alot for your honesty, Ill sort your money out... last I heard >:/
lost 75 squids once on ebay, I think the guy built up loadsa good reasonably high value feedback (500+ @100%) just to do a runner with really low priced buy it now items. . .
then I lost 180, again on ebay, selling a p910i where paypal identified the money used to pay for the phone as fraud - which was a bit late considering the phone had already been sent . . .
i hear alot of ppl sayin that now ppl say to paypal that the items never turned up, incorrectly advertised or broken and paypal immediately take the money back from u whether or not that was true

Got blootered the Friday before Christmas and couldn't even remember getting home. Got up the next morning and had a wander down town where I saw a Roboraptor on offer at Argos. I bought it on the spur of the moment for my little lad as a last minute chrissmas pressie. Got it home and was well pleased until my missus went ballistic.
Turns out that when I'd come home pished I'd gone on the net and bought one from Play for his birthday which is a few days after Christmas...
touch wood i havnt had any big mistakes BUT ive just ordered one of the B grade SATA drives from overclockers so we'll have to see. Although, it was only £20 so wouldnt be to bothered
