    Hi, I'm not sure what to thnk about the website, but the 'very understanding' feedback may have been left by someone who bidded on the item and couldn't go through with the sale, that's why they left it so quickly :confused:

    To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research ;)
  • Hi guys,

    I am feeling like a total and utter idiot today.........I ordered an M&P pushchair from this seller, I was going to pay with my credit card but couldnt locate it quickly enough as dont use it much and so ordered my item via maestro..... Didnt think anything of it until I got that email from ebay saying that the item had been removed. I sent a few emails to the seller but heard nothing back and there is no telephone number..........Have I been totally and utterly ripped off and lost my money as I did not pay using a credit card? I feel sick for being trusting, I am usually so cynical!

    I could be suprised and my pushchair could come but am doubting it now very much, its been a week and they say 28 days but its worrying me that I cant get in touch with them....

    Feeling let donw :(

    Take care
    Kristina

  • mabey they are legit
    i was worried that they had not listed anything else but today they have listed more and they now have some more good feedback from people that had to cancell there orders and have received a refund (surely if it was a scam they would not have refunded)
    so its looking a bit better now i will still wait a few weeks before i place an order though
    heres hoping:j

  • I would beware, I too sent a message to the scamster asking ifthey were genuinr mamas and papas prams etc, He never replied BUYERS BEWARE OF THIS SCAMSTER, You cannot buy the prams for this price FACT
  • I have sent 2 questions to this buyer about the prams with no reply. I have also contacted the 4 buyers from an auction that has ended alerting them to this thread and not one has replied to me. Are they false buyers that the seller knows to encourage other innocent gullable buyers into parting with their hard earned. Too many things not ringing true on this one.
  • Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
  • I would say the 28 days delivery bit is the give away, they can get a lot of money in this sort of time without having to explain why the goods haven't been dispatched. My guess is the ebay account and the website will be gone in a couple of weeks along with lots of peoples money.

    Well you didn't contact me and I am not worried as I paid by Visa debit card and will just do a chargeback if no pram turns up .
