Think i have been stung on Ebay

Hi,

I found what i considered to be the "purchase of the century" on ebay so i thought - 100% feedback and good selling pitch, i decided to go for it, but after 20 lenses were sold including my purchase, this eve i checked my purchases and its been taken down, and ebay have told me to give it some time for delivery(possible)????

Not good times

P.

Hang in there. It will get all sorted in the end.

certainly tests ones resolve good job me and mother earth have an understanding.


P.

I got burned on ebay a month or so ago. Was it a hassle? Sure. But it was resolved in the end. Did you use a cc through PayPal?

But i guess seeing a rather nice lens in the same league as the 70-300usm but a different make going boxed brand shinney new for just £89 with free delivery, i should have woke up and smellt the coffee.


P.

If it sounds too good to be true... I hope it resolves quickly for you.

paypal and ebay so money returning is ok(they told me so) its just missing sutch a fab deal i wont afford one like that again they retail new on ebay at £300(normaly)


P.

Yep it was a Nikon(caugh caugh sorry for swearing) 70-300G ED VR


P.

That would have been quite a deal! I am a sucker for a good deal, too. So I can imagine I would have been tempted, as well.

sorry folks (Yes its a canon forum Doh) but i am-was-am-was a Canonite just dabble in the dark side LOL


P.

anyway im gonna make up for it by walking in the woods tommorow hug a few trees and blame the mushrooms then see a few crows who will shake thier heads at me and tell me off, and all will be ok.


P.

I'm waiting for an "like new" 85L to show up for $499.

Sorry for your disappointment, but there will always be people like those you dealt with.

I would have been looking to see if that person had ever sold camera equipment. If not, and with multiple lenses being sold at a "purchase of the century" price, it's 99.9999% probable that it was an account hijack or a "smash and grab"?
