<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1260123, member: 31533"]There are all kinds of people looking to scam someone, and on eBay buyer and sellers need to be aware of this. This time the buyer got the seller. Expensive lesson. My lesson on eBay in that way only cost me about 19.00 and some lost sales because I immediately went into protective mode and stopped taking Credit Card payments over PayPal (my buyer that stiffed me paid via paypal w/ a card, but after I shipped paypal came back and reversed the charge because the buyer said his/her account was hacked or something and the card was used fraudulently), so for a month or more I had less sales than I expected until I could figure out what my response to buyers would be in certain situations (a plan). I had no recourse. Maybe it's changed since 2005 when that happened but I would still be wary. I've told buyers if they want to send a check that is fine, but I may not send them the item for months to make sure the check is good. That usually gets them to pay the "right" way.</p><p>Seller got greedy and/or wanted to keep his reputation by speedy delivery and got burned. I do feel for him, it's not a pleasant experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
