I intend to pay by cheque which was one of the accepted payment methods and so I need their address and details to post cheque to.\nThe winning bid notice did not give complete address.\nThey are not replying to my e-mails.

Ebay actually has a section on this in the Help area.  \nHere is what they say:\n"Buyers and sellers should contact each other within three business days after the listing ends. It is perfectly fine for you to make the first contact with the seller, using the seller’s email address provided in the End of Auction email."\n"If you cannot contact the seller by email after you purchase an item, or you don't receive a response, you should request the member's contact information and call them. Remember, in order to obtain this information about another member, you have to be involved in a transaction with them."

To start with do you know if they are incorporated? You could contact the Secretary of State if they are incorporated. They would have the names and mailing address of the owners. If they are a small business they would of had to of gotten a Business License from the City/County where the Business is located. In that situation the City/County would have all the owners names and mailing addresses.\nDid they give her a receipt for the deposit, if they did was there anything on the receipt about it being a Non-refundable Deposit?\nSometimes in the retail business when you have to order something special, the deposit could be non-refundable.\nIf she didn't get a receipt, in my opinion that is bad business. I do hope she gave them a check in the event she needs proof.\nIf she was given a receipt and there is nothing about the deposit  being non-refundable, I would call the Better Business as well as contacting the owners.

These West African get these addresses copy & pasted from a whole variety of free email sites as yahoo, hotmail, msn, etc.\n\nBy experience, I should say, that they surprised me with a letter of a supposed inheritance or lotto won.  All with the trick of getting advance fees from you. I became victim from them and never got the supposed inheritance. Note that they try to seem as real as posssible.\n\nJust Go to yahoo Options, click on filters, and write the clue words that u would find in letters that come from them.\nAlso, I have been forwarding these letters to the FTC at spam@uce.gov & 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov

Try using quote marks around the address. Sometimes that helps.

If youare worried, do not send your item until the payment has cleared and you have cash in hand.\n\nIn the future you can restrict bidding to your country only.

Yes, it is a SCAM!  \n\nThe cheque will be bogus and will take longer than usual to clear.  When it does, it will bounce and be charged back to your account.  You will now owe your bank $3500 for the bad cheque, as well as various bad cheque fees.\n\nBy then, you will have taken the cash and wired it off via Western Union.  Once the money is collected on the other end, there's no way to recover it.\n\nThey might tell you the city for pickup, but they can actually  collect the money anywhere in the world.  They will often tell you to set a password to release the funds on the distant end.  When you do that, they  won't need to show ID to collect the money.\n\nDon't have any further contact with this person!  Block their e-mail address.

The names not on the receipt?  If you bought it online, call your bank or check your statements.\n\nIf you paid cash, and don't remember, that's stinks.

Might be worth ringing the companies involved. Someone might be using your address  to obtain goods etc.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is" as the saying and you say.  \n\nYahoo! finance does not do this.  They state different companies do this, craigslist, ebay, google.  They are not a middleman.  \n\nWestern Union is your tip-off.  A person only has to have their name on the money and can pick it up.  They don't even have to show ID!    So if you send it to Yahoo!finance, care of Andrew Smith, he gets your money and there is no traceability.  Bye -bye money.  \n\nI would shut-off all contact immediately.  I played a game with an Andrew in the UK on craigslist about 6 months ago for a $40,000 car he was offering for $14000.  Same story as yours above.  I told him the only way I could pay him was with a certified cashiers check for $19000.  Use $2000 to cover shipping and I need to have the $3000 over that sent back to me.  I reversed the situation back on them as to what they were trying to do to me.  Never heard from him again, but I reported the e-mail address to yahoo at abuse@yahoo.com and to craigslist, who promptly removed the ad.\n\nAnd they can give you a tracking number easily.  "I have shipped the vehicle via Universal car shippers out of London.  Your tracking number is bs1423-34v-23fd-3432."  How do you know if that's real?  You are only going to check it when you don't get the merchandise.  \n\nContact a customer service person at Yahoo!finance and ask them if it's legit.

I don't know either, but I sent an e-mail to membersupport@mongle.com and the e-mail was returned to me.  What a jip, I had been with them for years and finally saved enough equity points with them to start looking for a house!  I think they went out of business, but how horrible as they didn't even let their members know.  I hadn't checked my account in a while and went to check it today and the website was gone.

oh never send it till you get the payment!  send each person an invoice if you have not already done so...  and if you get no response in a few days  , then you   send an unpaid item notice, thru eBay, which they have to respond to within a certain amount of days and if they don't  you will be reimbursed for your listing charge and you can just re-list it... if you need more specific help let me know and I will walk you through it! best wishes!

Was the deposit in cash?  If it was a check or money order, obviously you could present the cancelled item for verification of the correct amount.  Good luck.  You would think that the stamp in the passbook, which the bank entered, would be as good as a receipt, but I don't know for certain.  Actually, I didn't know they still issued passbooks.
