Ebay thief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bought a STI type UK intercooler off Ebay two weeks ago for £140 and paid by cheque a day later. No intercooler has arrived and no reply to my numerous Emails to seller asking whats going on. Guy is a conman. Thought it was a bit underpriced. Seller is Richard9789

sorry to hear this, i had same problem (loads more money) months ago. FLEEBAY is getting worse day by day.
Best Of Luck |
I've just searched e bay to find members, and put in Richard9789 and this is what I got

If I'm paying for something fairly expensive on eBay, say over £50, I pay by PayPal. PayPal allows you to claim back for three 'frauds' a year, so if the goods don't turn up or have been mis-sold, your covered.
Also, if you register a credit card with PayPal, (as opposed to a debit card), you have some recourse with the credit card company if you are ripped off. I think you are covered by their fraud protections schemes, the same as if you had your card skimmed, or were ripped off buying from an online store. |
I tried the search too, have you got the item number?

i have recienty just had a fight with paypal as i bought a boost guage and paid via paypal. the guage arrived with a manufactors defect which i reported to the seller yet he refused to refund me.
i reported it to paypal and they could only give their standard 2.50 back as the seller had cleared out the funds in his account and did not offer buyer protection. Will |
Got the scammers ID wrong. It is richardf9798 and item number is 7993843956. Still no replies to my Emails so I reckon a knock on his door may be in order!!

Always look at a sellers feedback first and look at what he or she has sold in the past,he or she may have bought and sold loads of small value items(1p) to get a good feedback rating and then go for the kill with a big priced item rip off.. And dont forget the golden rule Ebay is only a method of putting buyers and sellers together and you should treat every transaction as though you are at a car boot sale here today gone tomorow

i was robed of £800 for my back account due to bidpay due to ebay still not got it back

Anth,
It may be a little early to jump to conclusions. If the item finished on the 19th August and you posted the cheque the next day, it then may have taken a couple of days to arrive. If the seller waits for the cheque to clear (poss 7 working days) and this included 2 weekends, you are already upto 13 days from the end of auction. Now, if the seller hates packaging items up (like I do) it may take a couple of days for despatch. Then a couple of days to arrive by parcel post Hey Presto......... it will arrive tomorrow. Or am I just looking through 'rose coloured spectacles'. Good luck anyway Martin |
