Ive bought and sold on ebay for over 10 years now.
Over that time Ive been scammed just a very few times.
So far this month Ive been scammed three times for around 200 dollars.
The first one was some electronics my son wanted. I bid on two XBOX 360 consoles. What I got was two nearly empty XBOX cases, that were missing almost all the major components. I filed a paypal claim and of course the seller took all the money out of their account the day before I filed against them.
The second was for just a 3 dollar item. I'm not too worried even if it doesn't show up but the principle of the matter just pisses me off.
The last one is a USB thumb drive that was sold as new. Instead I get a heavily scratched and extensively used drive that is password protected and impossible to get into. I have already filed a claim against them on paypal and hopefully I beat them trying to cash out their paypal account.
This is more scamming than Ive seen in the past 10 years.
So far ebay and paypal have been their usual worthless selves, offering no real help in this matter either.
I guess I just had to get this off my chest before I had a heart attack.
Thanks for listening.
