Hi, 1) As a buyer, if your caught by a scammer ebay is a waste of time; if you paid by any other method than paypal you get their “straight in the waste bin service”; known as “mediation service”. All I received was an automated response telling me to negotiate with the buyer, who had run off with money and never had the goods in the first place! 2) There were 3 of us (Known about) who paid into a fraudsters account (same numbers); and 1 other who paid into an account of the same name at a different bank. We have collated information as much as possible and reported to the police. However, as you are probably aware, I don’t think it is even reported as a crime. We were told to negotiate through ebay and the fraud department of our own bank. 3) No we have not retrieved any money back. Unfortunately, as a buyer on ebay, using bank transfer, (via on-line banking), is as unsafe as Moneygram and Western Union, which are banned on ebay. I have been informed that a court order is required bef
