Is anyone else having problems with post?Dorsetbikeloving is

A few interesting points raised here.

The feedback forum needs to be used! It may not be the perfect solution but if people leave feedback for each other (and accurate feedback) then it will become increasingly useful.

Whilst I can understand the idea behind verification of ID sadly even with details what can we or I do. I have the name, email address, postal address, home and mobile numbers of most of the main 'scammers' we've had on here and have done nothing with them other than helping people get in touch. Perhaps I need to speak to someone from the Police regarding taking things further in future instances.

As a slight aside most of the people banned for bad trading have ultimately come good on most of their transactions with some prodding. Please remember we have had 1000s of successful transactions here.

The verified trader idea is an interesting one. Perhaps this could be given once someone has completed x number of transaction. Open to suggestions on this one...

Theft is theft simple as.

This is the legal definition

A person is guilty of theft if: he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it.

Property includes MONEY

If a financial trail can be traced then it will be relatively easy for the Police to trace a transaction. Most banks have Police Liaison Officers, Paypal also have the same. Financial fraud and scamming used to be a nightmare for Police to trace on the net, BUT things have changed.

Some scammers aren't very bright as I believe Paypal accounts require verification to receive payments. Really easy to trace someone from financial details. Even basic accounts require a Payment Card to be registered which again is easy to trace. Unless of course the Scammer is able to setup false bank accounts, which isn't that easy anymore following legislation to prevent money laundering

The problem you get is 'ownership' of the Crime Investigation but it is usually the Force where the scammer operates from will be the investigating agency. They will simply contact the Force where you live to come and get a quick statement from you. This includes all EU countries. Interpol may sound like a super duper police force BUT they regularly investigate such incidents.

If a formal complaint is made then be warned you MAY have to attend Court to give evidence. This will only occur if the scammer pleads Not Guilty. In 99.9% of cases if there is overwhelming evidence that a crime has been committed to which the scammer is guilty then he/she will plead guilty. You will not have to attend Court in these circumstances. If you are required to attend Court then expenses can be claimed for travelling, overnight stays and loss of earnings

If anyone requires any info on this, get in touch with me by PM and I will give all the info at my disposal.




Verification is a good starting point. I'm thinking 10 transactions as a minimum. Verification can also be removed. I'd say 5 or more negatives over a 3 monthly period and that's it you have to build up 10 positives again.

Might be a good idea,at least then you'll know how things stand
I think we all need clarity on this matter :?

A couple of forums I use use the Itrader feedback system which works very well. You cant leave feedback with out a link to a thread so no made feedback etc.

There's a retired guy who fettles old stuff from his garage in Mudeford, I'm not sure if he uses ebay though.

I'm just up the road in Ringwood. Let's get the pillowcases on our heads and organise some burning Renthal crosses....

If you look at some of his threads he tells you his ebay name is mazdaman also
