Thanks, I have made a dispute with paypal...
Is it just me, but does it seem as though all the newer changes that ebay have made, make it a lot easier to scam people?
Because there's no real way to report ebay sellers for scammer-like behavior...
Just the sheer fact that the last 10 fb's left for this seller have said the same thing, and the fact that sellers can remove an item listing before feedback is left seems a little wrong to me.
With that option anyone could list an item, then wait for a buyer then delete it then there's sweet F.A that the buyer can really do about it?
You can report a member - go to the top right of your screen to the "Customer Support" Tab.
Once in there, you can select from two options, to "Contact eBay" or "Customer Support" to the left of your screen.
Click on the "Contact Us" tab, and you will then have 3 options to choose from, Go to "Buying" and in there is an option to "Report a Member" or under the selling tab is "Report a Member" or "Report a Listing"
Follow the prompts and you will be taken to a screen giving you numerous contact options such as phone or email. I suggest either call them (1800 number) or have them call you (usually in well under 5 minute call back time).
You can then explain everything to a real live person, they can see your account and the transaction etc, and can take action including refering the seller to Trust and Safety for further investigation.
Ebay may have removed the listing, not the seller. Other members (who have left the negs) may have already contacted eBay and alerted them to the problem.
If this sellers trading hostory suggests that they have a good record prior to this, then chances are they are not scamming, it could be that something is wrong in their life, just keep that in mind.
A little while ago, we did have a seller with thousands of perfect feedback, then suddenly, the negs started rolling in and no communication. It was members here who discovered this and let eBay know that something was probably wrong with the seller, as that situation was very out of character from their prior trading history.
Well, if the buyer always uses a safe payment method, there is plenty that they can do about it.
Just because the listing is gone, does not mean the transaction is no longer accessible, and eBay and PayPal can take action if you follow the rules and procedures and you will get your refund.
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
