I can't believe it!! I've been scammed!! I bought some items 2 transactions one on ebay and another on an online site. Both payments made through Paypal. Items never arrived. Made complaints through the Paypal website told today they have found in favour of me....but no refunds as the sellers cannot be found. There is no money in their accounts!! Small print or what!!

ebay seems to be a law unto itself. There is no way to contact anyone except by email, and even then if you try to use this route you'll just get a 'standard response'.
They seem to take no responsibility for anything which happens through their organisation, as can be evidenced on their forum.

I accidently ended up on one of their forums and I was amazed how many people were complaining they hadn't received items. I paid with Paypal and thought my payments were covered come what may. I am so p***** off!!
Lady dont be shocked this is not unusual,people will eventually end up in court however your money is still lost.
Ebay never advertise that though ;\

ebay/paypal have their own laws and keep themselves devoid of any responsibility

I had a gud un
Paid by Paypal
An mp4 player, listed brand new, got it for £30 in the e bay bidding...item arrived it wouldn.t work upon arrival ..
got in touch with the guy and he said "Sorry -no refunds"...
Got in toucjh with E Bay/Paypal
They said "Get an electrical shop to look at it and let us know what is wrong ,and then we will consider a refund situation "
Went to 2x shops both said £30 for that mate , but we knock it off the cost of thhe repair"
But I didn't want a repair ..
So Ie mailed back to Paypal + said "The item cost me £30 ,the shop wants £30 to do the paperwork tyou require , and if I pay that you will then "consider" whether I get my original £30 back ??"
"Do I ALSO GET THE £30 Ive shelled out to get my £30 back ? "
"NO it doesn't work like that "
SO I had the choice of paying ANOTHER £30 to "maybe" get my original £30 back if I caught Paypal on a good kind day or just forget it "
I forgot it and then wrecked the guys business by contacting every one of his potential bidders over the next 6 months and telling them what a CON merchant he was ...
He had cancelled bids all over the place and kept putting messages up like "Re-advertised due to Timewasters "...then after 6 months I sent him an e mail to let him know and closed that account of mine ...maybe he won't do it again ....hopefully ...
