Bought what I thought was a real deal Burberry scarf for 150CAD on ebay. I got a knock off piece of shit had a fake Burberry label that said made in London, the real one are made in Scotland. Filed a paypal claim and got all my money back.

I was stupid). The item never came.. dealer stopped replying to me.. and I lost 150$. The dealer kept in contact till I couldn't file a claim.. contacting ebay didn't help one bit.

That was your fault for believing people over the internet. Unless you know the person face to face, I would recommend filling a claim after 35 days. Since you only have 45 days to do it, don't take the word of the seller because they know you have 45 days too. I don't give a rats ass what they say, if the item was shipped, I would have a tracking number within the 1st week. After 30 days, I'm filling the claim regardless what they say.

Well make a complain with ebay and call your credit card company and dispute the payment.

[BobbyDangerous]

Well he said he would re ship another one and if i don;t get it in 2 weeks i'm going to..

[Eeyore]

How long ago did you pay? There is a limit on how far back you can make a complaint. Get the ball rolling then let them know its ok, rather than hope a guy is legit and letting him get off.

[BobbyDangerous]

Paid like jan 29th or something like that. I know it doesn't seem that far back but i have had name tapes made that were ordered after that that have arrived before this item..

Well its your choice, If I were you I would ask for daily updates for a tracking number. But he might be telling the truth, many postal companies have made error and lost my packages.

Well yeah, I know it was my fault. The fact that he had almost perfect feedback and a reputable seller. You are right I admit but it was way back then, I didn't had any brains.

I do believe the feedback from others is a good indication of the seller but just to be on the safe side, only your feedback counts. I never believe anyone until the deal is done and we're both happy. It sucks that so many have lost money due to being gullible and believing the seller's every word. Hope we all learned something from others mistakes.

With USPS, tracking number is optionnal...lol, and even if you ahve it, its useless, becasue they dont update it.... I've had 4 items that were sent in the past few weeks, and the tracking never updated once (not even appear on the USPS website, not even on the CP website) and they all arrived safe and sound...

I got burned once on ebay, but I filed a dispute with Paypal and I got my money back no problem. Paypal seems pretty reliable with resolving ebay scams.

Got my money back..the douche never even responded.
