I don't normaly rant but

[Johno please?]

Facebook is a large market place too.

probably bigger than ebay

Theres always been scammers but back in say 2002 there was no social media, so it was just ebay, these days every chav in the land has a smart phone and access to facebook, hence an increase in stuff like this.

You bought something from some random on facebook, lesson learned?

I once bought an iphone off a stranger on ebay. She was fit!!!! Proper posh bird, liked horse riding, wore those sexy leggings. Think she was called Victoria (name says it all).

anyway, the iphone turned up with scratches all over it. I don't care how cute you are, you don't sell technology to a nerd in poor condition.

I sent her a strongly worded email!

Unfortunately that doesn't mean **** anymore on eBay. I don't sell on it if I can help it, can't be doing with the hassle.

Did you refer to him as mate? If not then try it, you might get a more speedy resolution.

That has to be filled with all kinds of risk surely?

I buy from within a collector's community and it's well-policed by the admins so it's not that risky. I've bought perhaps fifty items (one worth £450) with no problems. In fact, something has just arrived from there.

It only works in the form of "m8" though.
