Re: OT: EBAY: Re: 8i OCP *tasks*

Caution about EBAY!
I sent a check of 1025 to a guy for a laptop that I won in an EBAY auction.. The guy simply refused to send me the laptop.. Filed a police report with his name, address, phone number.. its unbelievable how much lazy the cops are..the case was assigned to some moron detective who refused to track this guy down..
EBAY default insurance covers only the first $175 of all transactions, the rest was a loss.. Not to mention the aggravating 3 months spend in following up with the insurance.. neither EBAY or the insurance company will provide a phone number.. !! emails only! which they take weeks to respond to..

Lesson learnt.. use the EBAY escrow option.. costs extra, but that way you are sure.. see ebay.com for details.. I bought "another" laptop from ebay, split the cost $60 with the seller and slept easy.. works. -bruce
