Deals Gone Bad

I have noticed a large percentage of my purchases are turning into Scam sales.....A lot of them I report to e-bay to have them checked out and they still go "south".......l had one on ebay for 2900.00 and another on Audiogon for 2500.00........And the worst thing is it sometimes takes months to get your money back..........Both of these were out of the country, one in the UK and one in South Africa.............

Ronrags I was almost scammed by someone exactly meeting your description. I was very close to sending the money but saw he used pics from a 5 year old Usaudiomart sale.  Just saw that his account was suspended by Audiogon. If a deal is too good it probably is a scammer.

Well.Ive had good deals,and bad ones with Ebay,Amazon  and Audiogon. BUYER BEWARE. Especially when buying used equipment...Your trusting the guy or store that the stuff is good.These stores are taking in used equipment, they turn it on and it plays ,case closed ,it works .....as should as you use it a while ,problems start.Yeah that's why they got rid of it to YOU....

Ebay is getting like everyone else, they handle claims when they feel like it......I have been waiting for a item from South Africa for 1 month today, DHL shipping has completely dropped the ball, ebay won't give me my 3000.00 back and like I say American business is no longer a success anymore, the crooks , scam artists and bad people are winning big time and if I was younger I would look into that as a great way to make money, nobody pays any penalties and the returns are great........And its really easy.......If I was in my 20's I would do it......ITS THE AMERICAN WAY...........
