Shafted on ebay

[robie5]

I won a set of koni shocks on ebay.de...payed for them next day and waited a few weeks for them to turn up, with no avail:cry:, started emailing the seller then but got no replies and he definitly been on line, because he swithced his feedback to private few days ago, i think he knows whats coming
Thing is he had 100 percent feedback and over 600 transactions, you'd imagine you would be ok
Watch out for this guy Blackcanidae

aghh, Paypal your usually safe and will get your money back.

Im currently putting together a group buy of 5 pairs of mx5 lights on ebay.de..

Agreed a price with a seller, but now hes sent me an invoice using a website called after buy, which requires a payment using sort code/ account number (i/e not through paypal).

Made me nervous

get yourself signed up on ebid instead, its like ebay was before they got a god complex and your listings show on google shopping provided you authorise your store,
much lower fees than ebay and none of their 8u115h1t

my ebid store, have a look at how it works on there

ebay are loosing traders like there is no tomorrow and ebid is growing faster than any other auction site so it is likely to be the most viable alternative
