Advice needed - Seller does not accept paypal and never sold anything before!!

I'm still not convinced

the worst thing about ebay is NPB's, and as things stand OP falls into that category

besides, again, OP should have thought of this when placing the bid, the original reason for this thread was the non-acceptance of paypal, now this "are they genuine" issue has crept up, and its more to do with OP wanting to pull out than anything else.

Yep, to me, the 'doesn't accept paypal' reason for cancelling is a poor one.

Just before I got booted off, my NPBs were running at almost 50%...

It never used to be that bad, it always seemed to be low feedback newish members too.

I agree, this looks very suspect to me. As has been suggested try and get in contact with the winning bidder of the other item, it's interesting that he hasn't left any feedback as of yet, either from the seller or buyer.

Maybe send him an e-mail saying you'll come round and pick it up for cash, and see how he reacts, if it's dodgey, he's going to be reluctant to give you his address.

Good luck!

He's selling a fridge cash on collection, so the seller is clearly not shy about his location...

Ah, never never buy DVD's off eBay!! I have bought 2 and been stung both times, never accept a stock picture of the item and do not accept feedback as most people (myself included) do not leave feedback for fear of a retaliatory neg.

If stock pictures are shown then you'll probably get pirated copies - that is what I got - or some cheap import. Ebay is not the place to buy DVD's these days unless it is from someone who is seller other items (ie. obviosuly their own collection rather than a DVD 'trader').


As I said, never buy DVD's from eBay as you can't really be sure what you are buying, mine was not even cheap and I got some cheap Chinese Import and the user was selling to make it look like it was a personal collection and had good feedback. Not one mention of a copy listed!! I even came on here for advice and asked 'is this real' and other MSE'rs agreed that it was a legit Disney DVD so I went for it and bought it. It wasn't and I was gutted. Last time that I'll ever buy a DVD from eBay. Pay the extra money and get it from a shop or from Amazon as at least you'll have some comeback (i am sure Amazon are legit unless someone will correct me on this) by paying with your credit card.

I buy and sell loads of DVD's on ebay. I have a collection of about 400 and everyone of them is genuine. I have yet to be stung on pirated goods, then again I can smell pirated DVD's from afar.

Any update on this thread? Seller still has 0 feedback.
