    Default Ebay scamming

    So many scams on ebay these days. Drives me mad seeing them trying to rip off people. Been thru it once where I've won the bid then asked to pay into separate paypal account. I refused and they try to hassle me and neg me for not paying. The link below has the seller selling the same items and exact description from the previous scammer that I dealt with. Careful people.

    100% feedback is no guarantee you won't be scammed. There is this New Castle gaming shop for example that is notorious for showing you a stock image of an item and then sending you something of much less quality. When you confront them about it, they get all indignant about it. Incredibly enough, they have very positive overall feedback on ebay but ask anyone about them, and they will always speak negatively.

    There is also all the G1 KO replicas being sold as 'reissues' with the seller often having excellent feedback only because most buyers have no idea it is a KO.

    This is why I don't buy anything over a 100aud over ebay even with paypal I dont have time for disputes especially from international sellers. I only trusted one ebay seller from Taiwan after making multiple MP cars purchases first. Good thing I was able to join OTCA and would rather wait and buy TFs here.

    Oddly enough, I have found sellers from Asia to be far more reliable and honest than local ones...

    I don't buy anything over $0 on eBay.

    Yes he has and I find it nothing to be proud about. It's like someone proud of still using a mule instead of a tractor.

    Reminds me of that Janet Jackson & Luther song lyric:

    Ha, ho, oh, wait a minute, I still don't think they've got it
    Let's tell them one more time
