Why do they do it?

[DaveL485]

Bought two iPhones from ebay. Same seller, 278 positive feedback and only one negative although the feedback leaver did get refunded for a problem item. Feedback was all for similar items....phones, blackberrys, iphones. Lots of other similar items listed too.
Three days later and ebay emails me to say my item has been removed. Twice....well thats odd seeing as I bought them already. (Buy-it-now).
Looked on my account and the phones have vanished from my 'won' list. Seller account 'No longer a registered user'.
I know I have protection under paypal, but why the ****ing hell do they need to do it? Really, why?
Whats the f***ing point in wasting everyones time when i'm obviously going to get refunded when you don't send me my phones, you stupid arrogant son of a b***h?!?!?!

I hate the lying thieving scum we're forced to share this world with. Dirtbags. sbidz09 I hope you die of the plague.

Don't use eBay?

Why? Because they thought they could get away with it. If they were that clever, they'd have a decent-paying job and not need to scam.

They aren't that thick, I wouldn't be quite so sure about getting your money back...

I believe Paypal will refund me and then pursue the seller after the fact. Kind of like Cradit Card fraud protection. They best do anyway, cos I can't afford to drop £600!!! It's why I used paypal in the first place!!!

It seems paypal have taken it upon themselves to launch the investigation. Good show!
