Where have you been scammed off the net and what to do to prevent it again ie: Lawyers, write a letter somewhere, or get italian guys on'em.

I know this should go in the lobby but please leave it here for a day.

 

I have been scamed off of ebay before. where have you been scammed?

 

Like I want to get these binno 20" rims with tires for $1800 but who knows if this is a scam....used rims....warped.....dinged out of round.....Heres the link....

umm... the guy has 49 positive feed backs... meaning 49 people bought stuff from him and had a good xperience and left him a coment prasing him........


ebay is pretty safe.... just look at people feedback rating... it should tell you all about em... ive bought wheels off of ebay before and its a pretty cheap place to buy brand new wheels at...

lowest prices ive seen anywhere..

 

I lost over $500 in a transaction for a set of golf clubs. The guy had a 49 rating, too! He mailed the clubs Priority Mail, didn't buy insurance and they were lost in the mail. No refund offered. No legal recourse, I checked.

I've bought several things on Ebay, at tremendous prices, but I always make sure that the seller insures the merchandise.

For a set of rims, or a high dollar item, personally I'd only go with a guy with a 500+ rating.

What if he says he's going to insure it and doesn't. A simple negative feedback does not change the fact your out $500, $1000 or $1,500 bucks!

Is there some sort of legal way to sue a person or something.

 

i think ebay will reemburse u then charge that amount of money to the persons credit card... it makes sense.

 

Ebay insurance covers up to $175 per loss. That's all I got. They don't go and get the total amount of the loss out of the guy's credit card.

Many sellers ask for bank checks, so there's little recourse through credit card companies.

 

Properly worded negative feedback can screw a guy out of ever selling again on Ebay. The seller who wouldn't give me a refund got a proper roasting from me. He was never able to sell again.

At the end of the day, it provided little solace for my $500 loss.

 

I think ebay should include the amount you were screwed for too.
ie: This jerk sold me a dvd player that didn't work Amt screwed: $1200.

 

I have a set of binnos in 20s and you will need to make sure you get 245s in the front-trust me- they willl rub when turning. The reason these are a low price is because they are silver finish which drops the price per wheel about $100 or more and the tires are not as expensive as Nittos. Then again I could be wrong.

 

oh yeah they are made in South America NOT ITALY!

 

Then they should be called beaners.....not binnos?

 

Ha Ha Not! They really are a great rim-right Manaray

 

...... you can always use PAYPAL and use a credit card to send money threw paypal.... so if the guy screw's you over!!! you screw paypal over by getting a charge back from your credit card company and your CC company is gonna get the $$ back from paypal... so youll have your money... paypal is gonna go after the seller for there money....
