I am the pensioner that was 'duped' on the first day of the Treasure Hunt.
I now understand it much better. But as the person who did the scam: webfairtrade1 is now suspended why do I have to wait 30 days for 'resolution' ? E-bay know this was fraud and my money should be refunded to Paypal immediately. There was NO item - it was all fake and the uncertainty of whether or not this money will be redeemed or not is spoiling our Christmas.
In any case how come the money went out of Paypal so quickly - it surely did not reach 'scammer' that quickly as I often have to wait for Paypal to 'catch up' with my other transactions.And he/she were suspended pretty quickly.
Do you know what it feels like to think you have won and then find out you have been defrauded ?? Please can e-bay staff listen to this message as a matter of urgency !!

[loopylou27uk2002]

CANT BELIEVE I WAS SCAMMED TO! ON EBAY NUMBER 5943152247, AND IF YOU CHECK THERE EBAY ITEM THEY HAVE IT UNDER ANOTHER ITEM TOO! SO PLEASE LOOK OUT!! i have filled a complaint and just hope they return my money and suspend them for this! well good luck in the treasure hunt but i only manage to find the scams lmao!!
well happy christmas to all you good folks out there and happier hunting

[little-mo7]

I have been told by Ebay i could loose my account for doing this,what you ask...warning people about this.....have a good look at this ...then roll it up,is this a scam,4949466632 ...what do you think ?????

[haybarn11]

Find its affecting my thinking,in general..Everything anyone says or mentions,wonder,if theres,a cryptic clue,in there..

[kirsty_mclaughlan]

Hi everyone, I am totally stumped here. Clue is Mistletoe and breakfast hint is kiss kiss. I went through every BIN listing to do with Holly Valance and found absolutely nothing!!! Not even a clue. How do I know if I have found the right ad. All the rest I have found are scams. Are they only BINs and are they all newly listed? Help!!! someone. Kirsty x

CLIFF RICHARD 'S OWN RED WINE - 2003 Item number: 5541789094

The clue: Mistletoe....

My thoughts... Mistletoe...and WINE , a CLIFF RICHARD CHRISTMAS SONG,

Now come on eBay, that deserves a prize for finding an item that SHOULD be the winner...

Please..... 😉

I think people are realy taking advantage of ebay not providing detailed guidance on how to tell if you have found a prize. Provide us with a sample screen.

Yesterday item number 4512083267 said Curry - e book, today after the clues it is listed as curry - holly neighbours wine crackers xmas. I purchased this (albeit for £1.50) but clearly not the prize.

Ebay should be ashamed of itself for opening itself up to a world of complaints!!!
