Oh dear, I think you've been scammed. This is a problem particularly with high-tech high-price items, on all online selling sites. I hope you had the good sense to pay by a secure method so you can get your money back. It's essential that people protect themselves on all sites by being sensible about who they buy from, and how they pay. That's why I wrote this: http://www.ebid.net/forums/showthrea...%26%2310047%3B Good luck getting it sorted out.Quote:

Have you contacted Admin Support yet? If not, I'd recommend doing so immediately. I also hope you paid by a secure method as Kim stated...if you paid via PayPal, get a dispute started asap.
NO, I never contacted the admin support yet ...I will, all I want is this person phone number I know where he lives because he put his address on the description of the product and his bank account details. This person need to go to jail because what he did is not good and it is a fraud. I hope it will sort out very soon.Quote:

The seller also has a strike through their name.
If you did pay with Credit Card via Paypal I believe their is a 45 day limit on refunds and 35 days have past already for you. If it was me I would go directly to my CC company and get a chargeback asap.
...dead thread from October and still haven't contacted Admin? At any rate, the terms of sale were clearly stated as "ALL payments to be made via Bank Transfer as is quickest and easiest method as this present time.(Paypal will be available very soon.) DO NOT BID OTHERWISE". OP states "deposited the money on the 4th September 2010" obviously indicating some form of funds transfer. The picure is murky to me on this whole thing as this was a multi-item auction with a quantity of 5 available to a total of 4 bidders. Meaning the winning bidder, OP, got the first item with 3 others having the option of taking delivery and all bidders paying based on the losing bidders offer. Of those 4 only 1, the losing bidder janetjane, posted any feedback experience (see below) and this bidder's 'About Me' page indicates they only just joined eBid on 08/31/2010 ... the same date this listing closed. Does any of this seem strange to anyone else besides me??Quote:

In any case and assuming all is on the up and up here, OP could do as you've said and follow through with your local law enforcement to see what recourses are available to you. You could also contact janetjane since you both seem to share the same experience and losses to see what they have done or might be considering doing.
People are so silly,99.95 of the time items like this at a fraction of the cost of the retail price will be a scam.....stupid,greedy I don't know buyers please think before sending any of your hard earned dosh to these scammers.:(:(
People are so silly? It's easy to be wise after the event, patronising even. Sometimes amazing deals come up, entirely genuine. For example earlier this year there was a device called the Joggler, originally about 200 quid, selling for 49.99, because, as far as I can make out, it has been poorly marketed.Quote:

So if she says "I received mine very promptly, very happy with it, I suggest you send a reminder to the seller and wait patiently", you might just want to take that with a pinch of salt! But if she has also been scammed, it's useful to coordinate your reports when contacting police, trading standards, etc.
