Re: GOT BURNED ON EBAY PLEASE HELP ME

I just had a problem recently. After about 2 weeks, I e-mailed the seller to ask if there was a problem with my item and they e-mailed me back saying they sent it. Two weeks later, I e-mailed them saying that I hadn't received it yet...no response. I filed a complaint through ebay and the seller 're-shipped' the item.

Re: GOT BURNED ON EBAY PLEASE HELP ME

just a heads up - always use paypal to pay for things because there is protection -

I almost got burned buying tickets off of ebay for a football game - i knew mydad had been burnded when they only except money orders- not even personal checks - so i didn't send money - i wrote to the guy and told him i would pay with paypal through my checking account (where there is no extra fees charged) and he said no- so i desided it wasn't worth the chance - 2 days later i got an email not to buy from this seller -

you just have to be careful - use paypal they will be there for you

trust your instincts - i buy lots of stuff through ebay and it is usally safe

Re: GOT BURNED ON EBAY PLEASE HELP ME

One tip I always go by is to not buy from anyone who does not accept paypal. Another thing that I look for is their feedback rating. Be careful with people who have either low feedback ratings or is new to the 'game.' Just like here, look at what their feedback says. Once in a while someone will have a complaint (cant please everbody) but if you see that the same complaint keeps coming up over and over again (like VERY slow delivery) there is more of a likelyhood that it could happen to you.
