Nationwider Posted 27 February 2005 Share Posted 27 February 2005 I wouldn't send a cheque for an eBay item - full stop. Ebay gets more s*** by the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the safest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxing_Around Posted 27 February 2005 Share Posted 27 February 2005 Hi, I work for an internet payment company, so I see a lot of these types of scams. If you are buying off eBay just remember "if sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt even bid for owt after reading his feedback. 72179[/snapback] That was my first thought, but if you look all the negative feedbacks are within the space of 3 days, which suggests that all those people bought their items before the negative feedback was left.
