Ok so what is to stop me ordering a £500 gfx card for my alienware, and just claim there was rubble/assorted junk in the box and getting a new card and my money back!?!?! I could just open the box and reseal it with selotape and claim the courier must have done it. I mean it is one thing to say it never turned up, or was faulty/not as described but to say you got it but there was not the correct item inside..... i mean there must be thousands of scammers doing this.

This is why its turning into a very risky place to sell! :eek:

I asked ebay this very question when I was on the phone. They basically said, nothing would stop you doing this, but they do make a note of everytime you do this, and if it becomes a regular thing they probably put a block on your account

SO who takes the hit.... i would assume the courier company, who in turn has insurance against it... so we all have higher premiums across the board because the insurance companies raise prices! lol....

Hmmmmm

The seller, as ebay/paypal take the money out (unless you cancel your bank account, in which case I guess they do)

Im sorry but the OP is a numpty.

The Buyer hadnt started a claim, so the OP told him too. (Set him self up there).

Then wonders why the Paypal balance is in the Neg??? You just started the claim mate thats why.
