I thought I was the only one that was getting ripped off with such regularity lately. Last 4 deals have yielded no product recieved, of which 1 can be attributed to Hurricanes, and may still show up, and at least the seller is responding and trying to help. Nothing from the others despite the paypal complaints, the phone calls, and the square trade farce....
Actually over the last 6 months, I have experienced great private transactions with a couple of amiga.org members. That in itself is risky as well with former members like Doomy scouring the web, but a lot of the long time members seem to quite honest and helpful. Being a part of a decent community such as amiga.org seems a little more re-assurring in regards to finding honest people to deal with.
As for eBay, if I don't recognise the seller as a well known member of this board, I don't even look at their items any more. It's too bad as a lot of honest Amiga sellers on eBay are getting smeared by few idiots, but despite the feedback, how do you tell if they are honest?
(Now that I let my little cat out of the bag I hope this board will not be swamped with frauds....) :-o
