    Default skam

    the skam you need to look out for is the person in america wants to buy something off you and for you to send it to india, but they want to send you ore money than it costs and you send them the change in pakistan!!!

    or the guy who is selling his brothers car on the cheap cause he died in a car crash, and he is moving away to india so he is selling it cheap to clear. you will of cause need to send a deposit to india.

    they usually accept payments with european union only, prob cause its easier to fraud.

    beware of the person from india selling a skyline who keeps refering to it as a honda and has a picture out of max power mag.

    did if forget to mention, the girl from america (who is really a man) who moved in with her boyfriend from london, but they moved into a house in india. he beat her up and now she is stuck at the uk embassy in india and needs you to send her money to get home or she will die

    i've started to remove paypal as an option for buyers as i dont want to use them anymore. Got fed up with it. Been mugged off sooo many times in the last few weeks, and paypal dont seem to do F#@k all about it.
    Poor customer service/support.

    Your lucky I bid and won the bid, the seller (comptech4000@yahoo.com) was answering my emails till this week. I checked out everything about this guy (the money order only should have rang some bells) ,but like what everybody else is saying I was too trusting,$820 is a hard pill to swallow. First and last time for buying stuff over the net at least not from individuals just the good ones with alot of feedback not just a few. Even the smart ones get stiffed,well not very smart anymore.

    its a shame that buyers/sellers have to be so weary of people on the net. As it makes it hard for others.

    of course... you have to email support@ebid.tv stating the auction title/ID and name of seller. Also, stating the name in the forums will help others to steer clear.
