ale2999 0 Posted December 22, 2003 pls mods can u leave this open for some time? a cry of help this is! ok I am not happy. I have the big fear that I got scammed out of my sale. I purchased an unlocked mpx200 smartphone on ebay and I immediately paid through paypal, as paypal was the seller favourite method of payment. I kept talking through him throuh email so i thought he was a legit guy. the feedback were only 3, but they were good so I trusted those. anyways he said that he would ship a week after which was last friday. I asked for a tracking number but he replied that my money were refounded and if I still wanted the item I should pay through bidpay.com which I have no intention to do. all i want is my money back. in my paypal there is no money in, and my credit card account shows transactions only 2 days after they happened so I dont see anything there. I am not 100% sure that i have been scammed so I am not realising names, but sometin stinks. may some1 with experiencies in this field help me pls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted December 22, 2003 Hi, do you have a link to the auction? I just got refunded on an expensive auction and it is usually done by hand by the PayPal staff (the refunding). It took four days for my refund to be complete. By the way, Bidpay is good too. They send money orders to the seller. It's through Western Union. Plus, you have to have the seller's address - which is handy if you have to go over and beat him up. :] Edit: Funny you mention this right now, too. I just got the refund 5 minutes ago ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FSPilot 0 Posted December 23, 2003 Check with paypal. There's nothing you can do if you get scammed afaik. You could probably report the guy to ebay, but it would just be his word against yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted December 23, 2003 Problem solved, in future I think such things should be dealt with on the sites in question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
