I WAS WATCHING THE KAMPILIAN ALSO AND WAS AMAZED AT WHAT IT WENT FOR. I AGREE THAT IT WENT FOR WAY TO MUCH MONEY BUT IT WAS A NICE ONE. I WOULD BE GLAD TO SELL ANY OF MY KAMPILIANS FOR THAT AMOUNT.

I BOUGHT THE NAGA SWORD HE WAS SELLING IT DID NOT GO CRAZY LIKE THE KAMPILIAN AND I THINK I GOT A GOOD DEAL .

VANDOO · 13th January 2008, 02:17 AM

UPDATE ON THE NAGA SWORD, THE SELLER HAS EVIDENTLY TAKEN THE PICTURES FROM OTHER PLACES AND NEVER HAD THE ITEMS TO SELL. FORTUNATELY FOR ME I WAS ABLE TO GET MY MONEY BACK AS I PAYED THRU PAYPAL. IT IS STILL BAD AS I WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD THE SWORD AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD DEAL, SOMETHING I HAVE NOT FOUND ON EBAY IN A VERY LONG TIME. I HAVE SEEN SOME GOOD DEALS STILL TAKE PLACE FROM TIME TO TIME BUT JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET ONE AND WHEN I FINALLY THINK I DID ITS A SCAM.

PHOOIE!! OH WELL IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE I WISH THE OTHER WINNERS THE LUCK TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK ALSO.

AND AS FOR THE SCAMER "MAY THE FLEAS OF A THOUSAND CAMMELS INFEST HIS ARMPITS AND MAY HE BE PLAGUED BY A THOUSAND IRATE MOTHER IN LAWS FOREVER"

Sorry, but glad that you got your money back.

I wish even worse on scammers.

ONE LAST COMMENT BEFORE LAYING THIS THREAD TO REST.

I SENT SEVERAL EMAILS TO EBAY ASKING FOR HELP AND ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO AFTER I COULD NOT GET A REPLY FROM THE SELLER AND HAD BEEN INFORMED OF POSSIBLE FRAUD ON MY AUCTION. I GOT TWO AUTOMATED REPLYS FROM EBAY.

1. WE HAVE CANCELLED THE AUCTION AND CAN'T GIVE DETAILS TO PROTECT THE SELLERS RIGHTS, CONTACT THE SELLER. THIS WAS CANCELLED AFTER THE AUCTION HAD ENDED AND I HAD ALREADY PAID AND SENT MY FIRST EMAIL ASKING FOR HELP.

2. THE SECOND EMAIL THEY SENT WAS A VERY LONG LIST OF COMPLICATED LEGALESE WHICH APPEARED TO BE FOR SELLERS AND MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO ME.

I SENT ANOTHER EMAIL AND ASKED THAT THEY HAVE A PERSON REPLY AND ANSWER MY QUESTIONS AND GIVE ME SOME ADVICE AN WHAT TO DO NEXT AS THE SELLER DID NOT REPLY. EBAY DID NOT REPLY EITHER.

I WENT TO PAYPAL AND FOUND A TELEPHONE NUMBER CALLED THEM , GOT THRU WITHOUT A WAIT TO A REAL PERSON. I GAVE HIM MY INFORMATION AND HE EXPIDITED THE INVESTIGATION , HE WAS FRIENDLY KNOWLEGABLE AND ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS , GAVE ME CHOICES AS TO HOW TO PROCEED AND GOOD INFORMATION AND ADVICE. IN TWO DAYS I HAD MY REFUND. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH PAYPALS CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH IS VERY RARE IN THESE DAYS OF AUTOMATED MACHINES THAT GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND FOR HOURS AND OFTEN ARE OF NO HELP AT ALL.

AS TO EBAYS CUSTOMER SERVICE, IT IS ABOUT AS HELPFUL AS A SCREEN DOOR ON A SUBMARINE.

Great detective work, finding a phone number within all that smoke and mirrors. As every ebay country is a seperate business and they couldn't give a rats about working in with the other counrty and customer service is a joke, but lets face it, you can't complain about service if there is none, this is a valuable point of reference to all those involved with the virtual world og buying online.
If you don't wish to put the paypal number up here, please PM me with it for reference, I have not been stitched up yet but the world is getting s lot more ruthless in this respect and I would like a point of call if it ever happens to me.

I had a similar situation but in my case, I was the seller. Someone bidded an item of mine (sword of course) up to almost $485 I think and won. Bidder has a 100% feedback rating and had made 20 purchases. In a couple of hours, ebay sent me an email similar to yours saying that the winning bidder's account was accessed by someone and he was not the one who made the bids.

The auction was cancelled by eBay without even investigating what happened or at least looking at the i.p. address of the winning bidder if the bid was made at his computer or someone hacked into his account. I was very upset because I needed the money this week already and don't have time to have it on auction again.

Is it really happening that someone is hacking to someones account on ebay?

It could also be possible that I was a victim of thrill/frenzy bid then not paying for something he/she won and telling ebay that some hacked to the account as a loophole to not pay the winning bid?

Sorry for the rambling
