Forum:Need help with Ebay

Ok for about the last month now Ive been trying to get my hands on a crush card virus through ebay. Now I'm not stupid and never trust any of those lottery type auctions. I did however set a limit and knew how to spot impossible deals.

However twice in a row now I have been scammed. Got my money back both times but Im getting tired of the run around.

OK heres how it goes down. On both occasions while searching I one day find a new buy it now auction for a CCV. In both instances the seller is a long time ebayer with over 200 feedback with about 98% postive. In both instances there is no hidden text (check carefully with the eye and by highlighting everything with "select all"). And in one instance the seller is even a Power Seller on ebay, had the little icon underneath there name. The last thing similiar in both cases is the price. In the first case it was 169.99 with free shipping and in the other case it was 169.99 with 2$ shipping. Different sellers. And in both instances i purchase the card and am pronted the seller demands immiedate payment through paypal. Thats fine by me considering how secure paypal is. Now in both cases a few days after that I get a email from Ebay telling me that the listing has been removed and that paypal is putting a hold on the funds and is trying to contact the seller. And in both cases the seller never responds and my money is returned to me after 3 weeks.

Now I'm glad I havnt lost any money but im getting pissed that Im not getting the card. Its not a great deal 169.99$ so what the heck am I doing wrong? Please this is really frustratingSteelfallenangel 06:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
