Ebay bargains.

Both fake, sorry If you can get one under $200 I'd be a little worried, 2 for that and I'd be running. Check completed listings, he has seriously sold about 40 pairs in the past week.

If this sort of stuff keeps happening they are going to want to get there money back thru higher ebay fees or making paypal cover an extra cost. It will be just like insurance, if too many people abuse it everyone will pay higher premiums to cover it.

Ok I got refunded today for the cobra limited s3 that I never saw so what's the issue?

one of paypals selling points is that it protects customers....so again they advertise that fact

its the first time I have been caught out no big deal.

Ebay was actually down a bit till paypal stepped in and offered people some security so again if its been offered then why not take the odd punt. Not every cheap club is a fake...in this case the club which i never saw never existsed (so yes its a fake...OXYGEN club..made from pure rare air...)........Like I said before its better to actuallty not recieve a club than it is to recieve a fake....much easier to get funds back.

has it soured my ebay buying, no way?...still in front ion terms of win loss

So I ordered one from the USA ebay, shipped via fed ex should be here friday.

what would people rather no paypal and no protection at all?...

The funds used by ebay to refund your money come from their pockets... which are lined with fees paid by buyers. So in essence, we subsidise the risk mitigation for you. You're welcome.

brilliant.....

All my strikes were reversed. It only took him 2 weeks!

A hacker off 12....
Maybe if you ****ing practiced as well as you post you might be able to play..

Your a ****en joke.....I thought with so many posts you could actually play ..

2 can play your stupid ****en games ****head

[Sydney Hacker]

You equate how many posts with how good a player he is ?

You know the rank under our names is not real right? If the above was true we would all be laying odds on Jarro and Yoss for the US open!

We may play like shit. But at least, we aren't gullible.

Nor do we give in to extortionists.

It's not always the rule though, a guy contacted me to tell me about a fake he bought. Paypal told him to pay the $25 postage to return the item, he did that and they still found in favour of the seller. So not only did he do his arse, he did an extra $25 !

Paypal only protected you because you never received a club and I guess the seller didn't or couldn't prove he sent anything to you. You'll never know if they'd have protected you against the fake. Whilst you may feel chuffed that you didn't lose any cash, don't spout the shite above, you got lucky.

[Daves]

My problem is I do practice as much as I post, in fact probably more so. Golf is all I do these days. But still I am a hacker, always will be I suspect. But at least I realise my limitations! "Honest officer, I didn't think it was loaded! Do you think they can sew my big toe back on"?

[Daves]

Not eBay, but a bargain nevertheless. I see Big W are advertising Bushnell Neos with 12 months course subscription for $88!

For Dad who is 70yrs and plays off 18. Is this a good deal?

It would've been slightly amusing if paypal didn't give you back your money because it was so blatantly a fake item...

I understand absolutely nothing of what you've written here. Firstly, it is you that's talking about using paypal for risk mitigation, not me. Secondly, how does pointing out the workings of paypal's insurance-type system require me to "harden up"?

I've been involved in some backward conversations in my life but this one is right up there.

[dave1]

Read paypals blurb they advertise it.....They advertise protection so how is using it wrong.

?????.....

That didnt happen.....

But i would have copped it sweet.

Like you said i knew it was dodgy

Dont worry paypal will get the funds from him. He ripped off about 4300 bucks.
