Hello All. I just had to reply to this message since this just happened to me last week. I was outbid on a guitar amp by five dollars and found it relisted the next day. With a little investigation, I was able to find that the buyer had outbid me himself. I kept getting the automated responses, but made sure ebay knew how pissed off I was about the situation. it only took a couple of days and about three or four complaints, but I was able to get this guy suspended (both Id's) for what I'm sure they took as a minor infraction of the rules.

I've sent quite a few notices to fraud at ebay myself. And they generally do nothing about that stuff, by the way. They really seem not to give a s***. Especially about frauds perpetrated by their sellers. Ebay is a good place to buy, but treat it like it's a guy selling from the trunk of his car and speaking softly and you'll be a lot safer. |
