Ebay Merc - Suspicious

Ebay Merc Suspicious... How do you report this to them? My account was recently victim to "phishing" also. Tried to get a link to report suspect activity but could not find one.

Good luck getting Ebay to help with resolving any such issue.

The concept of buying "blind" is a natural magnet for thieves and the people who operate Ebay have no interest in dealing with it.

I've been down this road with them and will never go down it again.

The easiest way to avoid getting screwed on Ebay is to simply avoid Ebay altogether.

I beg to differ

I beg to differ. Ebay on the contrary is on the up and up on such fraud. In my case it was resolved very quickly. Ebay in my opinion rocks!!! But I guess this discussion should go to the open forum now.

I've been scammed twice...buy surly vendors...of Ebays credit however they never got to crew another...even if I had to resort to my credit card for resolution....so my experience with Ebay is mixed.

the only thing weird about that post was that the seller had great feedback...strange...

could have been a wrecked car...but most likely a scam.
