Won a Iphone 3gs 16gb on ebay for £295 inc p&p. Took the seller 6 days to post the thing when he eventually did the box arrived here empty.
Contacted seller and opened Paypal dispute. Seller said he posted the phone, Paypal asked me to file a report with the Police as the claim is for more than £150, so I did.
Then I had a thought. Went to my local PO with the package the seller sent to me put on the scale it weighted 199g.
Contacted Paypal and asked if the seller had provided a scanned copy of the PO receipt they said Yes he did, I asked what was the weight of the item at the time of the posting, surprise surprise! 199g!
Went to my local Apple store and found out that a FULL box weight 599g.
This proves that the seller indeed posted an empty box!
Paypal refunded my money 2 hours later.
here is the fun bit,
Contacted the seller saying that I contacted Solicitor and bla bla bla, and legal action are on the way for "fraudulent sale" (pure bullcrap! lol) and that I would drops all charges if he pays a compensation of £100 for the distress!
30min later he sent £100 to my Paypal account and asked me to "Please drop the charges mate" lol
The scammer has became the scammed!
It is a lot to read I know guys, sorry! :Sorry:
