I wanted to take a minute to warn fellow honest ebayers about a problem with ebays system. I just won a item a couple weeks ago on ebay for $20.00 and the seller was charging $50.00 for shipping witch was about 5 times the cost to ship this item but since I was getting a $100.00 item for my winning bid price of $20.00 I was ok with with paying the $50.00 for shipping. Well I sent a money order out the following day and sat back and waited for my item to come, but this never happened. The seller took my money and never sent the item. I tried to file a claim with ebay over this matter but I was told by ebay that since the bid price was under $25.00 that they won`t do anything about it. In other words its ok for scammers to rip you off all day long as long as the cost is $24.99 or under. And ebay won`t offer you any help nor will the do anything about the seller that is doing this. The don`t care that I sent the seller $70.00 via money order as they only go by the bid price. What a joke !!!!!! Ebay dosent want to do any more then they have too as they are to busy sitting back counting all the money they are making off these scammers. Beware do no`t deal with ebay members with 0 feedback even if a seller has a few feebacks check to make sure its not just from buying items as these scammers will buy a few low dollar items just to build up thier feedback rating so they look legit before they start selling a item to rip you off with. And don`t think for a minute that ebay will help you because they WON`T !!! If you found this information helpful please chick below so others will know...........Thank you
