I got scammed years ago for 7k on ebay for a canon 1ds something ... don't remember exact model. It took 1 year before the FBI put the dots together with other similar scams. In the end, thee scammer sent me back the money and others as well. Some kind of deal I guess. but it was over a year.

One must not only look at the number of feedbacks, but also the dollar amount of them.

It is a common eBay scam for someone to buy or sell up to 100 items that are only about $1 or $2 each. They now have set the bait of 100 positive feedbacks, and now they try to reel in a sucker by listing a thousand dollar item.


eBay is a joke. I listed my Nikon 80-400 G there and this morning I saw someone with ZERO feedback listing a 80-400 there with the exact pictures I have, down to the serial number on the warranty card, using the text I used in Craiglist. He is attracting 17 bidder so far. I reported the item to ebay online first and just called them to tell them this guy is committing a fraud.

The eBay rep asked me to fill out a form to report copy right infringement because I said the person was using my lens' pictures, I told him if he cared I could give him the item number. Anyone with half of a brain would know the guy is committing a fraud. I told him it's not me who would be the sucker who is buying the lens, I just didn't want the scum bag to steal money from people. The ebay guy didn't care, he kept asking me to fill out a form he was going to send me. I told him I wasn't going to bother to fill out a form, I did all I could to prevent a fraud by calling them and reporting online. He didn't listen, I hanged up the phone.

with all due respect but you can omit the 1st sentence and still remain sympathetic.

I cannot believe the stupidity of some folks on this forum. While I hope the buyer gets his $ back, if he doesn't, I'll bet he doesn't make that same mistake again. 😰😰

Excellent!

But I think he still deserves 10 yards of pig manure delivered to his driveway - or stinky fogs!

Let's crowd fund it!

I am glad you not only got your money back, but you got to keep the candles!!!

All joking aside, I am glad you got a quick resolution and got your money back. I suppose there will be a few D4s bodies for sale after this week announcements so you should be able to scoop one up.

I almost got scammed by this seller a couple weeks ago. I was contacted after I posted a WTB for a Fuji X-T1. The price seemed close to what others were paying, so I paid using PayPal. However, started second guessing my decision after seeing the items she got the feedback for. In addition, the owner of her PayPal email had no idea of any transaction with me. Opened a dispute with PayPal and all my money got refunded. Ironically I saw this thread (before mancheta received his candles) and thought if someone is buying a D4s from this person, they could be okay...

Lesson learnt

Sorry to say I just had the same thing happen. I had posted a WTB for a Batis lens and someone contacted me. Seemed very nice. Sent me photos and advised they shipped item w/ a tracking number. They also had a join date of October 25th, 2015 but under user name laidlawpa (do NOT purchase anything from this person). I was sent a candle instead of the lens I paid for.

Currently have a paypal claim going.

This scammer may have a 2nd account - laidlawpa I have informed Fred that it could be the same person because the exact same thing happened to me. Be on the lookout - especially people w/ WTB posts.
