6 disputes in 12 months!
ive not had to open 6 unpaid item disputes in the last 12 months for selling things.
maybe you are a bit to trusting on ebay.
im surprized you still use it for designer items.


(have no interest in what the item is)

lucky you! i've got 2 open at the moment and more to open in the next few days.

i don't use ebay for designer items and the fake item is not a designer item.

i can't believe that this thread is still active. i only asked for some advice and the matter is resolved now.

Why do you need to open so many disputes? It's not going to look good on your PayPal record? Someone may think you are lying...(not me, just giving you a possible situation)

ok,maybe i should have said branded items.

i wouldnt continue opening so many disputes,it is likely the powers that be will not believe you after a few more.
are you sure these matters can definatly not be resolved without resorting to the dispute?

What was the item?

Or would you like others here to fall for the same scam.

when i said i have 2 disputes open at the moment and more to open in the next few days - i was replying to goldspanners mentioning ebay unpaid item dispute not paypal item not received/not as described disputes!

i have my buyer requirements set quite high but have unfortunately had some idiot buyers, surprisingly with 100% feedback scores coming up with ridiculous excuses for not paying lately.

i have opened paypal disputes due to item not received or item not as described. it is only a very small percentage of items i buy on ebay that i have had problems with. why should i lose money if i have not received an item? or an item is not as described, when i am able to open a dispute to get my money back?

i am actually very sensible when it comes to purchasing on ebay, i always check feedback scores, including what negatives are for etc. i rarely purchase from anyone with less than 99% feedback and never purchase from inexperienced sellers with low feedback scores. but sometimes sellers have 'gone bad' after my purchase has been made. i will continue to purchase whatever i like, and will continue to open disputes if i do not receive an item or an item i receive is not as described.

i only open disputes if absolutely necessary, i always contact the seller first to try and resolve matters but if this fails then i will open a dispute. i am not sure what the problem with this is, and why should i let bad sellers get away scot free?

this thread was started to ask for advice on receiving a fake item. I think this thread should now be closed as the original matter has now been resolved. those who offered helpful advice have been thanked and i will not be replying to any further posts in this thread.
