jembo 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 If you order through paypal your payment is protected surely? They offer £500 protection. I have used the protection cover before and got my money back after something did not arrive? However, if it looks to good to be true it normally is!!!..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 They offer £500 protection. I have used the protection cover before and got my money there is a loop hole though, as I was caught a few years back, and theres sod all you or e bay can do I bought a lamp and battery, when it arrived, plug it together and the bulb blew, it was a 6volt lamp with a 12volt battery, got in touch with e bay, they told me to send back to seller, at my expense, which I did, he would not accept it from the carriers, meaning it got returned to sender, unless the seller accepts a return, e bay cannot take the money, as that is classed as theft on their part, if it looks to good to be true, it normally is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hob&Jill 258 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 What you are actually buying is an ebook that lets you know where these auctions are, look closly at the small print. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
