I got swindled my FIRST time on eBay! I should have listened to my gut that the deal was just to good to be true $59 bucks for a $200 box set of dvd's and then they had my credit card #  But my bank ended up reembursing me & issued me a new cc#

E-bay they deal with second hand shops as well, but check the persons feedback before going ahead, I have used e-bay  all the time over the last 3 years never had a problem

sorry to hear you got scammed. Really, is there anything you can do? I'm not sure. Why not go through the staff? \nHow'd you get scammed anyway? I don't quite see how... then again, I'm probably cautious to the point of being anal about it. \nMy advice it really to go through the admins. I'm not really sure that there's a way around it.

Hey!,\n\nIve been using Ebay for going on 7 years now and ive never encountered unfix able problems i have 184 Postive feedback and no Negitives i keep it that way by when you buy on ebay make sure to check your sellers eBay Feedback, i just bought a Ipod 60gb and things went very well through paypal, so as i said make sure you check feedback of your seller that your buying from so you can be sure its not a rip off seller id advise not buying from users with under 15 feedback if u want to be safe and power sellers/ Company's are good but if they say the item is like this and its not when u receive it they could care less!, they can even sometimes get eBay to remove negative feedback, so i advise buying from average people with around 50-300 feedback so you know that there not some kind of companying that will screw you over, id say use paypal its one of the best ways its pretty much all i use all you have to do is register a free account with a credit card and no paypal doesnt do hidden fees it will clearly tell you if theres a fee for what your doing, items on ebay when listed have a 20cents or more listing fee depending on the features you assign to have on your auction, (example: buy it now, gallery photo, gift mark..ect) that about sums it up for selling and buying hope that was helpful and ill say with my years with ebay they are good at what they do! just make sure you read the description well, and watch for high shipping costs :) theres also Reserves that you cant win the item till its to a certain amount and to know if theres a reserve if u go to the item and look where the price is listed it will say reserve not meant or it will say nothing meaning its either meant or there was none, and you cant tell what the reserve is. just take pro cautions  like any online selling/buying to make sure your not getting ripped off, and in time you can figure it out well and a lot of people make livings off of buying wholesale and selling for regular. Well hope i was a help, and hope you have  great experiences with eBay! \n\nCya\nBrad

From the paypal website.\n\nWhen you pay with PayPal, you gain access to a forum for dispute resolution called the Resolution Center.

Well if you bought something, and it was broken, not the correct item you purchased when recieved. And you did all the right things returning it in the REFUND policy of this company. And they still did not honor their policy, you can give them a really bad name, harass them for months via telephone till you get a representative who is willing to listen to you and get something done.\n\nIn the end you could sue them, or if you were a computer networker like me, you could get their website shut down in a matter of minutes.\n\nI reccommend attempting to contact them VIA telephone and not email, email correspondance with a company can take days and days, sometimes even months.\n\nTry the telephone. Weigh your odds on what you paid for the item, if not much like 5-10 bucks, dont worry about it, if 20-1000 and above, sue their mother f-ing butts.\n\nAlso go to http://www.dnsstuff.com put the WEBSITE name of the company you purchased into the WHOIS field. It will tell you the Name, Address, sometimes phone number and email of the Person who owns the website, or the hosts which hosts the website which in turn has access to the information of whos website it is.\n\nOnce you know that information, you can contact the direct owner of the website and converse with him how you will.\n\nI once ordered a safe from a website, didnt get it for 2 months despite 3 emails. I finally threatened to shutdown the guys website, as well as contacted his Host provider which was godaddy, I sent him one last email about what I would do...\n\nThe safe was at my door the next day.\n\n\nUsually opened software can be returned if you put the original software back in the original box, with all of it together in the packaging etc...\n\n"""LOTS of times some companies wont take software back, because there is a keycode that comes with it, and there is no guruantee you didnt open the software, install it, Write down the key on a peice of paper, then send them their product back...not to mention that you could burn the CD ;)"""

Give it some time.  The best way to check is to go to "My Ebay".  If you see it in your "selling" tab.  You're good to go.  Check the spelling too.  It'll immediately be in your "my ebay".  If it's not there, you didn't list it properly and have to do it all over again.

possibly, make sure it's real though !\n\nsearch for it on ebay "error bill" etc. "misprint bill"\n\nsee what's out there, and if there's a market for it/

Use E-bay.  There are at least some steps you can take on e-bay to recover your money through paypal.  But if they aren't reported they will continue.

Sounds like you might have either a) gotten ripped off outright by this company, or b)you went to a site that was an "evil twin" of the real company's site run by scammers. \n\nIf you used a credit card, do these things without delay: first, call the card issuer, cancel the card, and have them issue a replacement with a different number. This will keep them from putting more charges on your card. Secondly, file a "chargeback" with the card company for the amount in question. Explain the whole situation from start to finish, and the card company will credit the amount back to your card. You are covered against card fraud. It will be then up to them to prove they shipped the product (which they obviously didn't), it may lead to their prosecution if they've done this to others, and best of all, you will have your $$$ back. Hope this info helps you out. Good Luck.

Have you signed for the goods? Recieved in good condition, if yes, did you report the damage to the carrier? if you didn't, you should have. it's your word against the sellers, to prove that you have or have not ordered the wrong parts, but if you can't get to speak to them, after a lot of effort, then you could do the following, give Visa the full story and tel them that you wish not to honour the payment, if your in time they will do this for you. and take the money beck from the seller untill it,s resolved.\nCancel your card transaction and stay in control of the deal, as soon as the card people tell them that you have refused the deal, expect the call from them, and sort your problem out. keep proof of every thing in these dealings.

Contact him again telling him you will allow him 2 more weeks -then you will report him to E-Bay - Also if I sent money already I would  report him to the police -chances are he's done this before and you are not he only victim- I was friends with a guy until he started stalking me because he wanted to date me and I only wanted to be friends so I went down to the police station and filed re-straining order- turns out he had a warrant for his arrest for fraud on E-bay - he would post a pic of a high price stereo or other item and when he got the money he would send the customer a box of books or a broken appliance- The officer gave me a copy of his report it was 5 pages long of all the scams he did- Just be careful - I heard the safest way to order from E-bay is to order from those who use Pay-pal cause I heard they will refund your money\nGood Luck

Depending on where you bought it. If it had come from a dealer i.e pc world or somewhere like that you could get a replacement providing you can prove where and when you bought it. If you bought it else where you could have a problem. My advice is to go back to where you got it first. Explain the situation and see the result. If you get no joy tell them you are going to go to Trading Standards, and seek legal advice from them.. That might change their minds.\nGood Luck..

Report it to the police and to Ebay. They can identify the seller and go after him.
