Chinese Scammers

[howard0_14]

It is very frustrating to say but I have found a few items that I might be interested in purchasing, that is until I find out the seller claims items are local but in fact in China and if anything goes wrong the seller will disappear and it will take forever to get any kind of settlement.

It is also frustrating to see that Ebay makes claims on how good the sellers are when handling a buyers issues.

Ebay makes claims to be their from us and to protect us from scams but I have yet to see a scamming seller kicked from Ebay and not allowed to return. Come on Ebay the time has come to start protecting us and start kicking the scammers off the board, we as buyers do not need the hassles of taking months to get satisfaction back from a scamming seller who has fake details listed and ignores any contact from the buyers.

The bumper is allegedly Australian and has part of an Australian flag as his avatar, therefore Aussie flags must mean Aussie sellers.

Ebay is at fault. They know that these Chinese scammers are using there platform to say they are in Australia when in reality they are in China. Ebay should get rid of them. I try to only buy off Australian owned businesses now.

They cost me more but at least I know that I will have my goods within 3 to 4 days using Australia Post.

The thing is, quite often it only says the item is in Australia. And it may be.

If you do the extra click though, you can see where the seller is actually registered.

The information is available. The sellers are not claiming to be in Australia.

You do need to check it out before you buy.
