DamanC Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Won this last night: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=320309113874 Is it me or does the seller look a bit iffy? He is pushing for imediate payment but im not handing anything over until im happy. This papal protection thing, should it not turn up or it turns out to be a fake or something, am I covered? I did message him before the end and asked if it was new, unlocked and a uk model, his answer was yes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Not a chance, feedback suggests it's been made up with fake auctions for cheap items that a mate / spare account has won. Other feedback suggests he's sold the same phone for £350 and then again for £199.88 already and received positive feedback on both transactions - the only bit of feedback that looks legit is a negative.

Jake Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Very dodgy - just look at his feedback, No activity since last year then suddenly this month 20+ feedbacks and they're mainly for £0.01p items and mostly from one guy.

jamesmark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 mates trying to make some quick cash for the weekend. Really? Does paypal do instant transfers to the sellers bank account now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Probably planning ahead for next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Really? Does paypal do instant transfers to the sellers bank account now? no but if they want instant payment, the buyer would usually pay if they are new to ebay, as soon as its sent, they accept and the money goes in? or has it changed?
