The bag he bought was paypal only and collection only! I think they are one and the same person. He also claims to have had another account that was hacked! VERY dodgy.

I couldnt possibly suggest that someone prints out his M&S credit receipt...........

If you pay by Paypal funded by your credit card, surely a) youre safe, and b) the credit card company are likely to go after him for such large amounts?

This appears to be one of the biggest scams at the moment. I have loads more detail but mostly through emails other people have sent me. It is becoming apparent that this scam has happened to loads of people. Some through the same seller repeatedly setting up new accounts under a different name. Some are isolated cases (like mine).

Ebay have done NOTHING.

Would the easiest solution be for Ebay to ban the sale of vouchers, credit notes et al?

paypal and ebay = scammers paradise,

its even possible to make a fake address(yes a random address) a comfirmed address with your/whoevers credit card with paypal,

paypal is a joke, the system dont work, = scammers love it,

you can not stop the scamming, as ebay nor paypal give !!!!, their making alot of money and thats what matters,

The only way to make ebay stop the scamming is to, let everyone know you got scammed on ebay,hopfully at the end of it ebay will be destroyed.


and all these scams (the ones noted above) are more then likely 2 party scams, buyer and seller are in on it ! if the item is some thing worth 10% of the bidding price then it is 100% stolen card details , 2 party scamming
