Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 9 - post your finds here

ptyks

Yesterday I took my on-sale toy (bought online) to return to the shop. I bought it with 50% discount, but the price in the store is full price. So I got extra money back to my pocket. Didn't realise about this until I arrived home and checked my receive. The duty manager who did the refund for me forot to return my on-line slip. I'm a bit worry, not sure whether she would notice that I got 3 bottles of protect & perfect serum or not.

BTW, on Friday I won an ebay auction for £250 Boots giftcard with £187 (inc. postage cost). Not sure whether the seller (bandera010882) is reliable or not. Will give your guys update when I receive mine. He seems to have more vouchers to sell, but can't speak eng well. I tried to ask him to send the giftcard by recorded delivery, no answering back. Will see.

Oh dear,This looks bad as he is now No longer registered.
It looks like he has been kicked out for shill bidding as many of his bidders are naru'd too.
How did you pay?
If Paypal contact them,if cheque tell you bank asap and stop the cheque.
Maybe ask on the ebay thread for help,there is a forum on ebay too which can be helpful.
You need to act now to try and save your money.
Good luck

Let us know what happens.

if you paid through paypal via credit card then you should be covered, contact your cc company. If you paid via debit card contact paypal and your bank but don't hold much hope. If you paid by cheque then cancel it straight away. pm if you want further advice how to proceed

Oh,no!!!!!

I have already paid for this item via Paypal. What should I do? I even suspected him before putting my bid. But seen from his feedback that he has already sold some high value vouchers/giftcards before.

Will go and read from ebay forum. Will update more to your guys later. Thought I will get a giftcard to spend for my boots shopping.

As alwaysonthego said it depends on how you funded your Paypal payment.

The community forum on ebay is good for advice the poster there have seen all the scams.

Couldn't find the post on ebay thread. Can anyone help?

Will pm alwaysonthego soon.

I had money in my paypal account around £67 and another £120 was taken from my bank account.

How long should I wait to contact paypal about this? I've just paid for it on Saturday.

did a shop was amazed how the offers flucuate from each store. Bought a reduced mens nivea bag for 4.99 and a nail varnish from bourjous with 150 points using £2 parenting and £2 voucher making it free iykwim. Got outside and back to car and realised dd2 had shoplifted a fcuk soap (shes 14 months) she must have grabbed and put it in the bottom of her pushchair.

Did a dot com shop this am got dh an xbox, he has been pestering me for ages, cost £229 and got two benefit sharpners for £5 with 500 points, used a code for 500 points and got triple points for xbox so got just under £40 in points
