Hi

I am a newbie to this site and the reason I joined was that I too bought c*** players from unscrupulous eBay sellers (3 to be precise, they were for gifts for family members). They were all from different sellers (as they all wanted different kinds of players!).

One of them I only managed to squeeze an £8 refund from, the other told me to return it for a full refund - minus the £6 P&P it cost me to return - and now they have filed an 'Unpaid Item Complaint' against me, which I have appealed against (3 times now) and provided proof of the original payment PLUS a tracking number for the returned item AND eBAY ARE DOING SWEET FA TO HELP ME!!). It seems that eBay only want to help the sellers who pay the fees and NOT innocent buyers.

I also have an 'Unpaid Item Strike' against me that they will not remove because I refused to send a cheque for am iPod Nano that didn't exist (they knew it didn't exist because a large number of buyers were scammed by this person and eBay closed his account down - yet they still wouldn't remove the strike!! I asked them if they wanted me to send my money to a con-man and lose it, but they ignored me. I have appealed for them to remove this strike 10 times now - just for nuisance value!!)

Oh, yes I forgot the 3rd one - the seller went out of business before I coukd even complain to ebay about that one!

Sorry to drone on, but this is the only release I have for my fury - eBAY WON'T LISTEN!!!!


PPS Also, PayPal is no guarantee either - as I found out to my cost - I won a refund through them but was told by PayPal that, "the seller has no funds in their account so we are uable to refund you" - yet they keep saying that the "safest way to pay is through PayPal" - YEAH RIGHT!
