when you consider that it appears ebat has had in excess of 1600 complaints regarding this person who they kept allowing to create accounts and build up good feedback using the same paypal (aka ebay) account ...

complicity comes to mind

[Craigewan]

Yes correct.
I think its coming to the stage where ebay need to get there act together and come up with a plan as in you must use a service such as paypal which lets face it will make all transactions better and smoother and give the buyer a bit of a comfort zone in knowing there is a way of getting some kind of compensation for non recieval of goods.
I for one would easy pay a small dividend on my purchase for this fail safe option.
I mean come on with the amount of transactions going on in one day it would only be a few pence needed to cover a paypal type of payment method.

Hi everybody, I think we all agree with craigewan,but I think we have all expressed what we think about the prat who ripped us off,but we all know that as far as Ebay is concerned it's TSB, we should not have sent him money other than through Paypal.I along with quite a few others were new to Ebay, and thought that everyone trading on there with 100% feedback was trustworthy, how wrong were we? all we can do is wait and see the outcome of the police action, be more careful who we buy from, and how we pay for it,and keep our fingers crossed, that we either get our money back(fat chance of that) or the tosser get's to do some serious time, with some extremely butch inmates,and that he get's his ar------le well and truly reamed.keep up the good work there are obviously others out there just like him, and we need to out them everytime we get wind of them.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone heard any more as to what is happening. It seems to have gone a bit quiet?

[shellydep]

i was thinking the same, not heard anything for ages!

[graymax]

Hi all last I heard from the police was back in October when Simon Robinson said he had arrested our "friend", and that it was a big case, but he would contact us later when he had further news.

Just heard frome-bay with an automated response saying they are closing my complaint agains mylistpeer as the 90 days are up- they say "A dispute can remain open for a maximum of 90 days from the transaction date. If you don't close this dispute before reaching day 90 then eBay will automatically close it. As a result, the seller's account will not be penalised."

I have responded to say "
Dear Sirs,

The dispute is not closed. I regret that I have not had any assistance from e-bay, despite there being a criminal investigation into the e-bay seller for fraud and I understand he has defrauded over 1600 of your customers. Your lack of any response, other than these automated responses is really appalling, and you really do not seem to care about your honest customers. A simple check by you will show that this seller has used other alias’ and has managed to defraud many of your customers.

I would rally like to hear from you as to whether you care as so far the total lack of assistance has been evident (except for these automated responses).It seems impossible to get to talk or e-mail a real person who might care.

This will be a total waste of time, heyho....Anyone else heard anything, please?

I was all prepared to travel to court in Burnley to appear as a prosecution witness as Hartley had pleaded not guilty, but he must have taken (good) advice from his barrister and changed his plea. Justice done, but I hope he doesn't get out after only 3 months or summat for "good" behaviour, and I hope all his money is seized. Wonder if I'll get my £60+ back??
