Oh pleeeeeaaaassseeeee tell me that you don' t really think he got a deal, That auction had fraud and scams all over it, Let me list them:
1.No picture
2.100000 sold for 2000, and the person still sell it for the sake of one positive feedback, That's BS.
3. 90% negative feedback
4. 2 weeks to reply an email for auction he's selling.

Pleaaaaaseeeeee

rycet - you're joking, right?

 

[RYCeT]

No, I'm dead serious, one question: Did you send the money? How? if you've sent it by personal check or paypal, STOP IT IMMEDIATELY, if it is by money order, I'm sorry but I don't know how you can retrieve that one, I believe there are other head-fiers who can help you. See the pm that I've sent you

 

[MusicLover]

Um, you didn't send a pm. Btw rycet, ha ha ha...

...

[RYCeT]

I wonder if this scammer was selling mac powerbooks? The article Just says "laptops". Maybe Apple didn't want their name mentioned? I'm only thinking this because last week (for fun) I went looking at powerbooks on ebay, and someone was selling a dozen PB Titianiums for around a grand. Knowing the price of them I naturally went "Scam!" (especially as the word garantee" was mispelled.) I wonder if it was this guy? Poor people who get burnt.

 

[usc goose]

might not have been a scam. a friend of mine was a fence for stolen ibooks. good deal for 300 bucks. he was too paranoid to use ebay though. i don't blame him. but if anyone asks me i have to tell you right now this was a long while back and i have now lost all contact with him and i also seem to have now forgotten his name, description and last known whereabouts.

but anyways...

I don't think eBay provides consumer protection at all. It's basically do your business at your own risk. I've once encountered a guy who won the bid but never responded to me afterward, so I made several complaints to eBay. This crook not only ruined my aution but maliciously added negatives to my rating. eBay didn't do sh!t. Instead they charged me over $20 to remove this negative wrongfully added and didn't do anything about my mess-up aution, noth to mention about the fee paid. Don't trust the rating on eBay. It's a scam (crooks can add the positives all day with diferent or barrowed profiles with fake auction).

Believe me people get screwed on a daily basis but the system is so screwy and confusing, you just don't how to report this through eBay. Most often, you paid more fees without a solution. I would be very careful spending more than $500 through eBay.

You will never know how dangerous and messed up eBay system is until you actually get screwed.

I bought a car over ebay. It was only $400. I've been driving it daily for the last 10 months.
