I prefer to see who PayPal feels is 'at fault' YOU. You could argue that any scam is the customer's fault for not doing their research first as much as you like. NOT A SCAM JUST BECAUSE A CUSTOMER NEVER DID RESEARCH [STRIKE]That is what a scam is, it relies on a gullible victim[/STRIKE] NOT A SCAM, YOU FAILED TO RESEARCH AND FOUND ANOTHER RETAILER LEGALLY SELLING THE ITEM CHEAPER. In this case me, I admit that CORRECT. And as soon as I realised I had been had I acted on it and TRIED to cancel the order. [STRIKE]Go Groopie are part of that scam[/STRIKE].AGAIN NO SCAM, YOU TRIED TO CONTACT THEM OUT OF HOURS AND ONCE AN ITEM IN IS THE DISPATCH STAGE IT CANT BE CANCELLED

Corrected you

A scam is a scam.

But this isn't a scam.

How is this a scam?

I purchased a tumble drier the other day for £250

many retailers were selling it for £420

rrp is £600

the seller I bought it from is now selling it for £520

are they all scams or just how the market works

My reason for this post was to find out my rights to refuse the delivery seeing as I had tried to cancel my order to avoid any more cost, but the 'help' people are offering is more directed at my grievance at being scammed.

So pardon me, but I don't wish to waste any more time and energy defending myself as people rip apart of my posts word by word, which I find pretty unpleasant by the way.

I thank the earlier posters for their assistance. I think most of the advice I was looking for was provided there.

I concur with most others here ... feeling like something is a scam doesn't make it a scam.

NO everyone has tried to help as you screamed you were scammed because you purchased something that was cheaper with another retailer and they because no one replied to your email within seconds

I bought a voucher code for £17.99 from 'GoGroopie' for a dash-cam for my partner's birthday. I thought what great value. The dashcam was priced at £69.99 and I was going to get it for £17.99 + £4.99 p+p.

The £69.99 would be the RRP (recommended retail price) which is what the manufacturer RECOMMENDS a retailer sell it for to make a decent profit. They don't have to sell it for that price if they can make a profit at a cheaper price. The Amazon seller may have a stock of bankrupt stock items which they would have got for peanuts. still NO scam

The only way this would be misleading would be if they had never sold it at £69.99 and they'd basically made up the figure in order to make the deal seem better than it is.

As others have said, theres no law against simply having a higher price.

If they only listed it as an RRP or MRP then they don't have to have ever sold it for that price.

So what exactly are you hoping to achieve? You paid eBuzz £4.99 P&P and used a voucher code which presumably got you the camera for free? From their T&C's, they will refund "any money received from you", so you are right that they should refund the P&P. However, the voucher code wasn't money - it simply applied a 100% discount to the item. They have no obligation to make that discount reusable, and indeed I would expect it to be a single use code. Even if they do reactivate the voucher, it entitles you to buy that one product from that one site, so what else do you propose to do with it?

even if the package is pre price marked at £69.99 just like a lot of goods in supermarkets then they can sell it at any price upto that price.
