Is this a scam? Another ebay scam

You should claim a grain or loss.

I agree. And all the times I (buyer) was found to in the "green" and was to get the money. The problem is all the seller removed the money before the dispute was completed. When a buyer disputes anything the seller gets emails stating this. So they can remove $$$$. No money in account means no money for the buyer.

Mike,

"wait till the IRS gets involved in ebay"

Have not read the rest of the post yet (someone might have chimed in already), but was watching the news the other morning and there was a segment about people selling items on ebay.

There is already discussion about having to disclose these sales on your next years taxes. Sounds like the government has already thought about it!

Mike,
That was very unfortunate in your case. My cases were totally different. Your seller was definatley out to scam their buyers. I think ebay and paypal are both understaffed and need more employees to look into these situations. As I said before, I have gotten alot of fantastic buys on ebay in the last 4 years with no major problems.

I agree and I also have found some bargins out there. They are few and far between but they are out there.

The problem like most online places or business is their CS is poor. I even went back yet again to Vonage due to my high phone rate and there CS is the worst I have ever seen.
