i bought this item, off ebay knowing full well that something looks a bit dodgey, I considermyself very good with these things, but this one confused the hell out of me.
heres how I see it
The guy has good feedback, only one neg
all items have pics taken on the same floor
hes selling a mixture of items some at only 1.99
he takes paypal and has £500 protection
same style on all auctions
appropiate postage costs
bad points
one neg
unuaualy large quantities of most items i.e 5 ibooks...
very cheap prices ibook for 350 is very cheap but so it 250 for a n80
uneasy feel about it
Now i bought that ibook only as i have 500 protection on this item, what do you guys think of the guy? scammer or not?

YOU WILL HAVE A BAG
WITH IT
that would have put me off, looks like a list of things you would recieve but it dosnt mention ibook. and a bag? what?
Posted by Sammy_boy
Seems legit, perhaps this guy didn't have a clue what these things go for?
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
maybe, who knows lol. after emailing he says hes sending out on tuesday so we will find out wednesday I guess
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man

any joy mate? did it arrive today?
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
nope hasnt arrived today, and he apparently sent it yesterday meaning hes a scammer. I ah just emailing him this:
I did not recieve the iBook today, I am not very happy now I have waited for 3 days and it has still not turned up, you stated it was shipped by special delivery yesterday and it is not here today and you cannot provide tracking infomation. Please fefund me completly by 5pm or I will be filing complaints through paypal and ebay to get my money back along with dealing with the police on the matter. I had hoped that it would not come to this so am very disapointed with you.

if he sent it yesterday mate i'd give him another day.... just incase as we all know how poo royal mail are
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
nah, they guy is to dodgey for me to let it pass. Hes now selling unreleased nokia fones etc, I think his account was hacked possibly or he may just be a total shafter.
Somethings not right and I think the faster I file a claim the more chance I have of getting my money back, I was looking at the guys bidding and recently hes been buying some nice laptops, ones whcih cost well over 1k each

he just emailed back saying:
the item will be sent tomorow as soon asd it sent i will provide tracking number regards roberto
so im now writing back with:
Thats just not good enough. I now have no idea if I can trust you, you told me that it was shipped yesterday but not your telling me you will ship tomorrow. Please refund me and we will leave it at that, other wise I will be forced to file the complaints and take further action.

any more news dude? hows the problem coming along?
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
filed a complaint yesterday, I also encouraged 2 others to do the same lol. Now I have my money back and so does one of the others, not sure about the other one yet...
Posted by jcwhite_uk
Glad to hear that you got your money back. I am amazed paypal gave your money back so quickly.
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
actually I think the guy did, it seemed that myacutions with paypal froze his paypal account along with payments in and out... he had little choice really either give us back the money or not recieve any more...
Posted by leeboy13
glad for you luke... looks as if you gut instincs were correct
Posted by SexPest
Maybe he is a Jedi?
Posted by siamese plantpot
