Re: OT:Advise on Auction fraud [7:28004]
If you bought from Ebay, you have their slow complaint process to help (sorta :o) If you used PayPal, both you and the seller are verified, and you used a credit card- you're covered. Rule of thumb though, escrow any purchase you cannot afford to lose. I have purchased my entire lab off of Ebay and have had very snags, but I know it can and does happen. I know Brad Ellis, www.Netfix.com, and host of others are willing to sell @ a somewhat reasonable price and will take that uncertainty of whether it work or will it arrive away. Do tell- who was the seller ??? I've got a couple of Ebay surnames that have goofed over some people I work with. All the best !!!

Re: OT:Advise on Auction fraud [7:28004]
It pays to do research before you bid. If it's the first time you've bought on eBay, consider it a lesson. I look at the seller's feedback before I bid now, and also know of a few reputable folks that I *prefer* to do business with when they're selling an item. and a few that I *avoid* when buying.

RE: OT:Advise on Auction fraud [7:28004]
Why not start posting names of sellers that are good to work with? I would imagine it would get away from the possible slander threats. I will toss out three names that I deal with on a regular basis and have zero complaints. All have gone a bit beyond the normal in several cases. Quadrasource ( bigpeach) in Tustin CA.. they also do walk up sales.. Classic store front with stuff spilling out of the back ;) Comstar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I gave him a call to pay for a Cat5000 and mentioned it was for my lab. The pic showed empty slots.. no covers except for the filled slots. The cat showed up 2 days later with ALL covers in place. Nice guy :) Lassongdl I have bought three times from him and each has been trouble free. And he is responsive to email even after the sale. I had a problem with a card that ended up being a dirty connector but he was willing right away to help or replace the card if needed. Now- I have NO stake in any of these companies aside from the money I send them for more cisco parts :) I've just had very good luck with them on MY purchases.. no claims are made beyond that.

Re: OT:Advise on Auction fraud [7:28004]
I agree with the response that Daniel Cotts sent, and wanted to add some more to it. Most auction sites provide an Escrow service, now, as a means of cutting down on fraudulent actions. You may want to consider using those services if you purchase through an auction site again.

Re: OT:Advise on Auction fraud [7:28004]
I would toss out names but I believe that the groupstudy server filter any messages with the seller name... They still owe me more than US$1000 and has refuse to answer my calls cliaming that I slander them and that their lawyers will contact me. I'm still waiting and I'm still going to continue to "slander" them until their pay me back the money. It has been a good 8 months since they agree to return the money. I don't expect to see it soon and I'm still waiting for the lawyers call and in fact, left my contact number , etc a couple of times in case they don't have it... Feel free to email me offline and I'll be glad to provide the details. I'm just sooo busy at the moment, else I'll "slander" them further on all the related usenet groups. Maybe I'll get around to doing it this Christmas as a present. Oh yeah, they do sell under a lot of different names in eBay. I got about a dozen of emails cliaming similar type of fraud, complaints to BBB doesn't do anything except a promise from BBB to file up the complaints on them for record.

Not sure the where this thread is going, but the Better Business Bureau is a thing of the past. You can only hang their sticker on your door if you pay a membership (as a business owner). Business owners have wizened up over the past 10 or 15 years. The BBB has been defused by a lack of participation. You must use your credit card company (who surely doesn't mind taking your side) and state or local agencies that control the business licenses. .02 Phil - Original Message - From: "PacketEXPERTS" To: Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 11:50 PM Subject: Re: OT:Advise on Auction fraud [7:28004] > What's up and what is the DEAL? > Jason wrote: I would toss out names but I believe that the groupstudy > server filter any > messages with the seller name...
