    Default have you been shafted by ebay?

    I must have bad luck i have been scammed on ebay twice now i bought a copy of final fantasy 9 pc version for $110 (i didnt know about emu's at the time ok?) and lost all my money! the same guy scammed 6 other ebayers after me and he has been reported 7 times but hasnt been banned! ebay just dont care even though i told them this was a criminal situation ie. should be reported to the police. in my opinion ebay is stingy they are willing to take our money but not willing to help out when things go wrong. i heard that 1 in 10000 transactions on ebay are fraud so i must be unlucky to get 1 in 10000 twice i would like to hear your opinion on ebay and if this is happened to you what did ebay do about it? coz they did naf all for me

    EBay is untrustworthy with all those cheaters. And FF9 pc version?? There even isn't one, it has only been released for PlayStation.
    Have you seen me before?

    I bought Final Fantasy 7 for PC fine, i did the Buy It Now! option as it was cheaper than what the overal bidding cost would come to eventually near the end. Didn't have a single problem and the game was still wrapped up in plastic brand new. You just got to know who to trust by reading their recommendations by other buyers.

    well buying ff7 for PC was the first ever time i or my mum had used Ebay, we usually use Amazon since that has almost all the stuff we want already.

    I have never been shafted by ebay... I am a very cautious buyer though so, that could be why.

    Me and my friend only buy from people with at least 90% positive feedback. It cuts down on the amount of jacking we are subject to. The worst we usually get is slow shippers.
