MidfieldGeneral Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Is there anyway around buying something off ebay that states "Immediate payment required" without actually paying once you've clicked to buy ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidfieldGeneral Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I've found an item on ebay which tbh looks too good to be true. This item is well over £100 less than what other people are selling it for on ebay, and around £200 less than what it is to buy from a shop. I've sent the seller a load of questions about the item but in the mean time I'm scared of missing out on what could very well be a bargain. If it didn't have the "Immediate payment required" I'd click to buy and if I got no answer or wasn't satisfied with the answer then I wouldn't pay as I'd much rather recieve negative feedback than be the best part of 200quid out of pocket.

Dave Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hmm, sounds too good to be true and they want your money up front... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidfieldGeneral Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Kezman it's a phone. Payment is to be made via Paypal but the one thing I've never known with that is if it is a con and they take the cash and clear out the account without sending the goods would Paypal reimburse you or would you be fooked ??

Guest Stephen927 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I would err on the side of caution and leave it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidfieldGeneral Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I sent him a load of questions about the phone before I posted this on here and he never replied. The following morning the listing had been removed with "item no longer for sale", which is probably not a bad thing. Cheers for your help peeps and cheers for the Kezman, much appreciated fella Anthnufc, or anyone else for that matter, if the item is under £500 do paypal reimburse you if the seller pulls a fast one ?
