What has members market got to do with eBay? Yes bacs is popular on the members market, a different medium to eBay. I'm a business seller on eBay with 3 account with feedback totalling 5000+ between the accounts, so yes I do use eBay often

Small payments? Bacs as said is very popular. Small payments fair enough. But substantial amounts. Bacs or cc. As for me mentioning members market. You asked who uses bacs. I answered. Please dont let this turn into another of your 20 page threads where you're never wrong. Or where your view point is the one answer.

Also how do you find that Bidding history page on eBay ? I'm damned if I can find it !

Huh

Firstly in the context of eBay, so again not sure why you brought members market into it.

Secondly (ill let you figure it out) someone starts a thread, "payed with balance transfer on eBay, never got my MacBook Pro" have a think how that thread would go down.

Like I said you would be an absolute idiot paying by bacs on eBay, and if you think it is a good idea then you would be an idiot too.

I think you've misread. That doesn't exist for me. Can only block -1 or lower.

Jesus are people that dim?

 

[MrMarvelous]

My God this eBay stuff is really getting out of hand! Every week there seems to be a horror story thread about eBay and how incompetent they are!

Correction: its if they have < 2 feedback and no credit card registered.
Under the credit card on file section.

Should always use an escrow service for high value transactions.

Seeing as the address is confirmed, I'd send it. But not until the funds have cleared my bank account.

This and you wouldn't have to be nervous.

That scam only works if you send the item before the cheque clears, which would be pretty stupid. And in the OP's first post he says he wouldn't have sent until after it had cleared.

I think we've confirmed its a Scam I wont be sending the item anywhere now.

Just remains how i approach ebay to get my fees back..

Really? Based on the fact the buyers bidded on other macs....

 

[Craterloads]

Seems like you've fallen pray to a bunch of people running around screaming scam. The echeque scam posted is hilarious considering an echeque is just an online cheque and should be treated as such.

Bidding on other macs..

Using echeque? Lol you do realise it's a perfectly acceptable form of payment right?

Wait to see if the echeque clears, if it doesn't it's a simple affair of filing non paying bidder claim.

I wouldn't say anything to the buyer though. Maybe alert ebay that you think it's suspiscious, they could cancel the whole thing there and then. Would be nice if the police could got involved, if the buyer is a scammer he's clearly got access to stolen bank accounts.
