Just bought Call of Duty 4 of some Broomie - came in the post yesterday and it has no box and looks like a dodgy copy. Cost me £35. Wanker wont reply to me so Ive had to open a dispute with PayPal. Anyone got any advice on getting me money back quicker then the 30 day bollocks that PayPal say they need?
Cheers

ebay is a swamp of petty larceny and the dark villiany of the human soul. caveat emptor...

Buy from a reputable retailer in future.

Two of my friends have been through the paypal dispute process and have been given a refund.
Have some patience, trying to rush things wont help.
Yours faithfully

yeah try sitting it out and see what happens (take a copy of the game before returning it though!!).
i have bought and sold a lot through ebay recently, the trick is to be wary - if you are selling stuff then do it by your own rules - i.e paypal only, no pickup - whatever rules you want to set.
and for buying, make sure you are buying from a reputable seller with a decent amount of positive feedback who wouldnt want it tainted with "this guy sells pirated software for full price".
i was down for winning i a Vision Gator DVD from some guy - before the auction ended he send me an email saying that the dvd was a copy and not original and claimed he'd bought it that way and if i wanted to proceed with the auction. gues sthats piraters way of getting round getting into trouble. theyl suss you out to see if you dont mind getting pirated goods as long as its at a cheaper rate.
sounds like your guy was just taking the piss though asking fullprice almost hehe,

Report him to ebay, they're quiet good at sorting their seller out quickly. and you'll be refunded.

Any eBay sellers on here?
So I put that camera and lens (see camera for sale thread) on ebay and someone bought it. However, it's really odd that they signed up that day, live in LA and use an yandex email address. Should I be worried? I know there's lots of buyer protection but I have no clue about seller protection from scams.

Is ebay safe to sell? Last time I lost a laptop through ebay. The payment went through with paypal, and after I shipped it, the paypal payment was retracted because it was from a hacked account. Paypal didn't give me a any money and said I was screwed.
- Check the buyer's Feedback history and also message them to gauge if they are legit if it's a big ticket item.mrpt
- yeah eBay tried to get your back in these situations.monospaced
