Reply #120 - 02.06.05 at 01:16:01 i do not think that the seller of the "5000" wanted to "steal" my money... its just not worth when dealing with around 20Euros... There are only two possibilities. 1. the package got lost or 2. someone payed more then me. Btw. It's still not here. I think i can give up to hope that this card ever will come in my hands

In my case, I filed a fraud report against the guy, it was investigated, and I won the case. My refund was from ebay, $175.00 is the maximum amount.

It took a lot of my time but it was worth it. Not so much the money (which was nice) the the personal satisfaction that I won. Hopefully more people will take the time to persue these matters so that these dead-beats will get their ebay accounts shutdown.

I guess in my case, it wasn't that worth while afterall.
definately a good experience.
but with Paypal I can safely say that nothing is too secure to just sit back and relax until the transaction has really gone through

Reply #125 - 05.06.05 at 17:01:19 yeah but it always went so fast from UK to germany... why the heck this time not? the seller said he shipped it with the cheapest way (only 1,58 GBP or so...), perhaps this is the reason? but now its almost 3 weeks... chances are bad

Seller used cheaper way to ship to you. Usually 2 weeks i have to wait from UK with normal shipping......So my advise is to wait at least anothe week......after 4 weeks of delay, possible problem

Reply #133 - 07.06.05 at 07:26:22 all in all, clearly an inexperienced seller, because its an overseas shipping and to use the cheapest method really exposes the item to alot of risk like lost or delay. unless requested by the buyer and that the buyer should take all risk upon that request.
