Fraud Sellers on eBay website.

[mahme_8701]

Hi Team, I have a serious concern on eBay trust & safety for buyers because as per my one of recent transaction, the eBay seller is openly doing fraud and I don't see any helping hand from eBay side. eBay is simply pull his hand in terms of policy while they should be responsible for their sellers and should have rights to take direct action on their sellers to protect the buyers money.

eBay sellers offers to pay the money via paypal using eBay messaging system and later refuse to sent the item and no refund. This is purely a loophole in eBay system when anyone can join as seller and do the fraud on the trust of brand name like eBay and even eBay don't take any precautiony action to stop this kind of fraud.

This is rediculious.

Please be aware of eBay sellers as those are not seems to be authorized eBay sellers.

Thanks

buyers need to understand that they aren't protected if they don't pay through the listing properly,

paying through messages is against the rules and you shouldn't do it,

if you do, you won't be protected and you will lose your money and the item

there is nothing ebay can do to stop buyers being stupid and falling for the oldest scam in the book
