eBay/PayPal ripoff conspiracy

Thank you, thank you, thank you for TB classifieds... eBay is my last resort, only when I just can't move an item here, Craigslist and others... The fees are enough to scare not to mention stories like this.
But as a buyer it should make you feel more confident... You can BS your way to a full refund, great.

Scary stuff. I've been reluctant to even consider selling on evilBay for some time now. This thread just makes me realize I can do better elsewhere.
You sent it to him, dont you have his adress?
when you rock up on his door step im sure hell be more than happy to give the amp back
Im not going to say I like being ripped off... but overall I with as much as I have ssaved over the years, I can overlook the fact that I got ripped off about $600 over several transactions on ebay since 2000. $450 of it was in one transaction before buyeres were protected. $70 was a woman who got me to send her a money order, and then just minor things here and there. I have saved this on one bass, actually several individual basses. I got a jack read custom (lane poors) off ebay for $1000, I got a flea bass (lane poor) for $750, and a zon lightwave for $750.... plus many many many more. I could flip any one of those for close to double but they are keepers.
