A couple weeks ago I won a BPM mixer. I sent a money order to the seller and it never came, and I couldnt trace the it! Has anyone else been ripped off by a seller? How do you guys handle non-paying bidders? |

I'd talk to the customer support people. They can probably refund your money. I find ebay to be very addictive. It got me in trouble financially a few times. |

you just keep hounding them. if you have their address, look them up in a reverse phone book and start calling them / their parents. eventually they'll give in when you start threatening them. after this is over, you learn to never deal with people with an under 5 rating. |

whoa... elusive Dolleater, you can report it to ebay, and they will give the person a big warning... or they can take his ebay id away.... This happens to me sometimes... ebay is great... in the sense you can find some great stuff for cheap.... but bad because you have to relay your trust on people you dont know... which is sometimes scary and turn out bad |

I had bought over 20 things from different sellers on ebay before and never gotten ripped off, but then when I went to buy a synth I got scammed.. you can never really tell I guess, this guy had 14 good feedbacks. I'm still in the process of trying to get the money. dolleater: first you should file the "fraud report" where ebay will investigate it and try to get him to give you the item. from 30-90 days after the auction, if the item still hasnt come or they cant get ahold of the seller, you can file the fraud claim. On their website, it says they will contact you with the form to do it, but I didnt get it until I contacted them through their shitty little "webform," although thankfully that at least did the trick before my time ran out (you only get 90 days from the end of the auction.) eBay's site is really piss poor, it gives you absolutely no direct contact information for them, not even a fucking email address, so you better hope the webform in the "ebay safe harbour" will suffice. |

Some tips: For rare items, ALWAYS insure your purchases. It's usually a very small extra fee and can save you hassle in case something happens. Keep in contact with the seller and ask questions if you're not sure about something. Make sure you know what payment the seller accepts. Sellers with high feedback numbers are usually reliable, but check deeper. Watch out for recent or groups of bad feedback: That's usually a sign the seller has become or can become careless. And most importantly: If you don't think something is worth bidding on...DON'T! :) |

i got ripped off by this guy, russel sandlin, i won 21 bucks worth of incense, sent the dickhead a money order and never received it. I called him up long distance and tried to bitch him out, but he hung up. I also filled out a fraud report on the fuck. sour apples ruin ebay. |

tip: check their recent auctions for other synths or hardware they've successfully sold and gotten + feedback for. if they have more than one such item, you should be good. |
