recently i decided too submit a item too EBAY for sale,my first ever item i put up.i have bought many items ,but this was my first sale piece.imagine my delight when after 5 hours up on ebay the item made its sale price so it was marked as sold.the folowing morning i got a email from the person who bought it,asking if i could post it on as quickly as possible as it was going too be a birthday present,
now bing new too selling i didnt know what was the next thing too do,until i got another email,supposidly from ebay saying that the money the buyer had too pay for the item was sent too paypal and they couldnt release it until i poasted the item and sent on a tracking number,so i could prove that i had sent it,as they were trying too crack down on fraud on ebay.being a new seller i presumed this was the norm.so i sent on the tracking number too them,they then sent me another email stating it would take at least 24 hours too process my money and i should check my paypal account then .thinking all this was legit i waited 24 hours,and another and another,still no money.3 day later i get another email from ebay saying not too deal with the person who bought the item as they were not a member of ebay,and they told me not too post my item.dam i thaught.i just think ive been done.i plan on caling too my loacal post office in the morning too see if i can stop the item being delivered ,but i dont hold out much hope.250 euro down the swanny.
so please people ...BE CAREFUL NEXT TIME YOU DEAL WITH SOMEONE ON EBAY......even the emails i got from paypal and ebay were spoofs.......
