The 'matveynaibay' sells IN-18's on Ebay again. Again they are dirt cheap. But how this scam works? I understand that Ebay/PayPal would reimburse my purchase if I didn't get the item. They would simply take the money back from his PayPal account. So, how their scam works? Also, Dieter: On May 16

With regard to using a variac, the size (current capacity) doesn't matter as long as it's big enough. The variac will simply supply whatever current is called for by the load, up to it' s rating of course. The variac is a voltage output device. -- You received this message because you are

Hi, thanks for the clarification. I only need 20VA max (50mA @ 400V AC), so the smaller the variac, the more compact my power supply can be. Jens With regard to using a variac, the size (current capacity) doesn't matter as long as it's big enough. The variac will simply supply whatever

Paypal will only be able to take the money back if it is still in the account. So, such a scam works in that he sells item. You pay for it. He pulls money out. A month later, you realize you aren't getting product, so you file a claim. Judgement is in your favor, but unfortunately,

.. and even then, I always have a look at those 2 negative feedbacks. If the seller has 99.995% feedback but the handful of negs in the past month look really crooked, I won't buy. Also, at this point, I pretty much won't buy anything from a seller that is in NJ. I don't know why, but NJ is

Also, Dieter: On May 16 you have warned us about this seller. But they started at Ebay only one day earlier on May 15! How comes? What am I missing? Well, you see I am well-informed about that very quickly. The reason is that I have friends in Russia and Ukrain. And I think I know all important

Hi! Paypal will only be able to take the money back if it is still in the account. Are you sure? I think they can take the money back. If there is no balance in the account, and Paypal decides to refund to the buyer, the balance of the receiver will get negative. Am I right? So, such a

Are you sure? - Yes If there is no balance in the account, and Paypal decides to refund to the buyer, the balance of the receiver will get negative. - You can't have a negative balance. Paypal is not a credit system. That's why it is a DEBIT account. You must have money in the account

Dieter, My point is that YOU (as a seller) will NOT get the money. Really, the scammer now has a negative balance? What matters is that you are scammed the money and will NOT get it back from the fake paypal account. And, even after you won the claim which they have no money, it is

Issue is we are comparing legit negative balance to scam negative balance. A scammed negative doesn't matter. The person scammed can't collect from a scammer. Like Jens said. He bought ebay stuff. Now, if he didn't wire money into his account (if he was a scammer), he still would have
