Fraud

[kerry2775]

I've won an item and it's been paid for and now the item has been removed as has the seller, trying to get answers from EBay but can't get any help, I paid through PayPal, item wasn't cheap!
Where to go from here? I've obviously been ripped off!
Anyone that can help will be great
Thanks

Yes I did that straight away and just waiting to hear back, so fingers crossed I'll get my $310 back!
Thanks

Yeah thank you, feel better knowing that I should get a refund. It's hard getting in touch with EBay I found, I went straight to Paypal and waiting back from them ta

I have obviously made a claim as I have been ripped off big time!

You haven't been ripped off until Paypal reject your claim.

You seem to not understand how these boards work.

    You ask a question

    A member or members answers with relevant information or requests for specifics

    You provide info, or reject info even when it is likely to be true

    You NEVER tell another member to bleep off

    Nothing is obvious unless you actually tell us, given the people who ask these questions generally don't understand eBay

    OR obvious

Why obvious?

You pretty much said that you went to Paypal because you couldn't contact eBay. If you had have managed to contact eBay they would have told you to contact Paypal. Because Paypal provide buyer and seller protection for eBay in Australia.

It is one of the things you read in the eBay terms and conditions when you join. The ones you state you have read by ticking the box.
