As I've already told you Rabbit, there's ways to go about things, and ways you should never do things, and targeting ONLY Australian sellers is certainly the wrong way to go about it all because you are immediately discriminating on the basis of race, so you are asking to get into trouble for that alone.

I have never had any problem claiming any refund from any seller of fake items through Paypal. It's why I insist on paying everyone using that particular banking system, even when dealing with sellers not on Ebay etc.

I have also been involved in assisting in several successful prosecutions using the exact same methods as I stated in the original post of this thread.

Yes, certainly the police are only interested in gaining a conviction, that's their job after all, but every single time they have done so, the purchaser has been awarded a compensation payout by the courts, ususlly this more than covers all losses.

You simply go about things the wrong way, and for that you deserve everything that happens to you along the way.

A cool head and good manners goes a lot further than abuse and shouting the odds at anyone.

Ebay, and other online selling platform providers are only interested in covering their own backsides, so if that becomes threatened they will always act, they have no other option, and the way to ensure they do is to know where you stand within the law of the land.

They cannot afford to be publicly disgraced through the courts and media, but you MUST be very sure of yourself, and the law before opening the can of worms.

We are all subject to those laws when trading in any way within Austtalia, or providing a platform for others to trade with each other through, ie, Ebay, Amazon etc.
