I found several electronic items listed under "go carts" ...Video projectors, car audio, go-pro's, home security packages etc. Stuff that shouldn't be there. These items also pop up if you do an all categories search for them. They are usually incredibly cheap, around AU$20 to AU$40 buy it now. Not long after you pay for the item (PayPal only) the listing simply disappears, and 'item removed' pops up in its place. eBay sends a message MC999 item removed. If you try to contact the seller (can't use the listing cause its missing) you have to hope you've still got the PayPal emails. When contact seller is found, it says "seller is no longer a registered user." Items never existed from the start. But a week later, the exact same listing appears, with a different seller. Try a search in "go cart" and if you find items that don't belong there, watch the listing and see what happens. If it looks to good to be true, then it probably is

·11 years agoThey have been on going for months and combined they have "sold" well over $50,000 worth of items.
Unfortunately Trust & Safety aren't as active as they used to be and some of these can take weeks to be
removed.
171610298226 has the negatives hitting hard now,(they where first reported in early December).
321603982273 this one was slightly different and was reported in early November.
171625356180 reported last month but items weren't removed.
281556389293 reported last month but items weren't removed.
Each of the ones above have been reported numerous times now.
151553305076 reported earlier this week but items are still up.
261730949972 reported earlier this week but items are still up.
So it's seems to be losing battle and eBay have assisted them by implementing hidden bidders so that the
buyers can't be warned or informed on how to get their money back from Paypal.
As it stands when a buyer tries to open a claim via PP they are told their is no PP protection in go-carts or
pocket bikes so they can't make a claim.
Only some buyer know that they can get their money back by ringing PP and speaking to a supervisor,(the
majority will just believe they have been ripped off).
There hasn't been anyone that has come to the boards to say that they received their money back after being
scammed so no one knows whether they get refunded after the scammer has been NARU'd.
