Ebay seller asking for trouble
People seem to be a bit naive on Ebay and seem to be asking to be ripped off.
Bought a good phone from a guy a few days ago. He had over 50 positive feedback so thought he would know what he was doing.
Phone arrives today exactly as described etc etc. Very happy with it. The thing is, it arrived by standard first class post. No signature required so would have been so easy to wait a few days, report the phone not arriving and get my money back as well as the phone.
I emailed him to point this out to him but he replied saying he's never had a problem yet.
Trusting or Daft........You decide

Daft! For the extra couple of quid, someone less honest than yourself could have cost him a fair bit.
Shame that people can't be trusted these days, I always send anything worth more than a tenner recorded.
Can you give me his user ID so I can order a few things?????

That's just being thick seriously, being a power seller on ebay I can say that I have come across some people saying they never recieved their item and would therefore want a replacement. I then just send them a copy of their own signature by email to make them look extra stopid.
Never get a reply after that lol

Dont be fooled....
the only way to cover yourself on Ebay is to use either track and trace, or next day guaranteed.
if you use standard recorded, and it goes missing (and they do
)
you will not get anything back from ebay as the seller, its then down to you to claim of the PO
