Bugger my first time getting scammed on ebay
 

I brought an xbox of a ebay seller. They had a bundle listed with games so i emailed the sellet and asked if i could just buy the xbox they said sure so i sent the cash via payal

I check the item on ebay thinking he would of ended the item instead he sold it to someone else and now he wont answer my emails.

I messaged him on my girlfriends accoutn about another item and he replied straight away

Guess its my own fault for not doing it through ebay

Least its only a small amount of cash

yep, you got hosed

you can issue a dispute or whatever you call it through Paypal

Do you think its too soon though as it only happened yesterday but i can tell i have been scammed because he is egnoring emails and also because he sold the item on ebay to someone else

wait a few with more emails no response...dispute

He may be withdrawing your money from his paypal account. You won't get back the money if he withdraws all the money from his account. You better warn paypal.

I paid with credit card so i might have to do a chargeback

mabe he had more than one xbox to sell ..... otherwise report this fucker to ebay and paypal ...

Go to Paypal..I had success with issues before

Does he have any itmes for sale cheap on ebay? If so, it could be worth buying one under a different account to get his address just in case you need it.

Report it on PayPal.com and esqualate it right away to a claim then go on paypalsucks.com and get the phone number to the PayPal resolution center reps and tell them what has happened at that you have escalated to a claim.. If you are lucky they'll jump on it right away for you.


Good luck

Hehe, you kinda owned yourself. I guess you'll learn from your mistake :)

That fucking sucks bro

Yea man i fucked up

Have sold and brought loads on ebay and this is the first time it happens so not to bad

Still i will get my cash back one way or the other

Can you get his details from the receiving paypal account. Do a little research and get his phone number, a call might freak him out enough to return your money.

I had that happen to me i reported him to paypal and paypal suspended his account till i recieved the goods.
Got the goods the following week.

Haha i got the money back

Said he had 48 hours before i contact paypal and the police

Dude just call paypal, let them know .

Great job! lol :thumbsup

Glad you got your money back. I have been pretty lucky with Ebay so far.

Just a note that CC chargebacks are not a good idea, if you chargeback against Paypal (remember they're the merchant as far as Visa and Mastercard are concerned) you're likely to get your account blocked or closed.

Make a fake ESQ letterhead. Create some legal sounding bullshit. Send it to him. He will immediately fix the problem.
