    I just can't believe how silly we all have been! I am always checking and this time I didn't! I think pregnancy destroyed my brain! I have bought lots of stuff on Ebay - including 2 years old car and have never had any problems - until now. What a guy! He was so genuine on the phone and I really believed him.... Well, wanted to believe him....

    I just hope we will get the money back. I paid £325 and as I can see he is covered for £150..... Does it mean that if I get the money back then it will be only £150?

    I can't understand how is he making money - if we bought through PayPal it means that we should get the money back as they should recall the money from him.... In this case he didn't make any money .... Is that the case?
  • Come on everyone , let's all leave negative feedback !

  • Without trying to frighten people even further, IMO paypal and ebay could not give a hoot about your money. I see this seller only had paypal protection up to £150 on a £325 pram. Check out the website "www.paypalsucks.com" and you will see how good they are in fighting your case, your best chance is direct communication with seller, which can be hard with a scammer. To be fair to ebay I have had over 400 transactions buying and selling and all have been legitimate, you guys have been unfortunate to come up against this scammer, most people on ebay are genuine. Keep me posted if there is any update with DHL. The thing is in the advert did he not say he used his own drivers (does he own DHL) Ive just read the advert again and it stinks more every time I read it.

    PS I notice his feedback has been reduced from 32 to 28, is this due to comments being withdrawn ? I also the negatives are also starting to flow.

    I wish you all the best in claiming a full refund from paypal, let me know how you get on, this is where you will see how good paypal are.
  • plus he seems to spell his own name different in emails than he does on ebay.
