Big Mark Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Spotted this scammer on eBay this morning. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132016275071?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT £100 cheaper than current retail Zero feedback A username that is clearly just hitting random buttons. I don't get what the point is, if anyone purchases from him then surely Paypal just seize the money back and refund you as soon as you raise a dispute when your item never arrives, so what's in it for the scammer?

They can sell as much as they can within a certain window, then move all of the funds, close the eBay and PayPal accounts. Nothing you can do then.

Same happened to me last year, might be the same seller. 200 piece socket set for £100. He sold 5 or something and I had to wait three weeks to get my money back. I think they do it to get money for christmas until they get paid or just sell 10 in a week and leave the paypal in negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
