How protected is the ebay and paypal buyer protection
I have only recently become aware of another scammer (e business_supplies) operating on ebay Australia where the ebay user id has been in operation since 2003 and had a turnover rate of approximately 800 items per month.
yet i am constantly amazed at how little ebay does to protect the buyer, yes you now have $20000 buyer protection on paypal, the propaganda campaign exclaims, and that paying by paypal is 4 times safer than the other system... well firstly since they have implemented paypal by stealth of hiding other payment methods then i am sure that paypal is not going to be safer and only allows the scammers to transfer money out of the country much more easily and allow the scammers to escape. secondly why has ebay not stepped in to limit the damage by the scammer, even today the scammer is not NARUed and the total number of negative comments has hit 445.
how has ebay protected these 445 people from being scammed,
what is paypal doing to refund each and every buyer who has made a purchase from this person in the last 2 months,
why is it so that before you can get any money from paypal then you must raise a dispute,
surely it is clear enough given the close nature of the relationship between ebay and paypal that there is a problem and that the person is not going to honor their commitment.
Why must people now escalate the dispute to a claim and then wait for paypal to decide..
how difficult is it for paypal to determine that this person has defrauded all of the people, surely the negative comments reflect the fraud perpetrated by the ebay seller...
what is ebay doing to prevent this type of fraud from happening again... the strategy used by the fraudsters is to build a large enough feedback over 12 months and then use the feedback as a trust mechanism to sell higher priced items and when sufficient volumes are being sold, then they simply skip the country and leave people high and dry.. Hopefully the person registered a correct name and address with ebay, because if the fraudsters was true to him occupation then the name, address and contact number is simply fake and given that ebay do not utilise a 100 points of verification then any scammer can set up operation in Australia....
