Tis the season for the fake Frontline Plus scam artists- I too have fallen prey to these losers that hawk their phony flea medications on Ebay. They are not the new seller with less than 20 Feedback Scores either. They are often Top Sellers & people you have bought from with no issue before!
I was "bid stalked" (as I call it) when trying to bid in what I thought was a great deal for 32 doses of Frontline Plus For Felines. I assumed the "bid stalker" was aggressivley pursuing the bid because the auction was nearly over ( less than 10 minutes if that) & we were the only 2 bidding. It was about 22$ for 32 doses. I was so happy to be "winning". I was getting frustrated that this bidder had not shown his/her face until the LAST 10 minutes or less of the auction & was upping the bid by large amounts. Most go a buck or two. This bidder was going 5$. I was a tad suspicious because I know of a person that pulls this scam from another Ebay account to get more loot in his pocket. I thought something was foul so I stopped bidding & forgot about it until 1 hour later (if that long) when I received a message from the seller telling me the winner had to back out & I was now eligable to buy it for the last price I bid. I asked the seller why the bidder who was so aggressive would back out in an hour after he/she won. The seller told me they were giving that person a bad Feedback score & I should feel "lucky". I had just bought a good kit from this seller BTW. I bought the kit for less than 30$ total. 30$ total for 32 doses? I was in Flea Killer Heaven!
It took me a few months to even need the Frontline I so happily own that day. I opened it & saw the DREADED ORANGE STRIPES (I did not know YET these stripes were the sign of the beast) I applied the FLP on my cats & a few outside ones I also care for & "loaned" a dose to my upstairs neighbor. Needless to say ALL the cats were worse (so it seemed) less than 48 hours later. Not one flea was killed! One of the cats had a terrible rash w/ bumps at the application site.
I searched for the seller I once bought a good kit from & what did I find? She was no longer a registered Ebayer..Gee..I wonder why? She sold like 100 kits of BS FLP. I bet ppl went to her home with torches & pitchforks demanding their money back! As they well should of!
Oh yeah, the bidder that backed out? Never received a Bad Feedback Score nor any score for that matter. They too were now an unregistered Ebayer. WHAT A KAWINKIDINK!
Below is what you should look for when buying Frontline Plus off of Ebay or any other auction site...
It is hard to NOT buy the "KITS". Just make certain when you receive them there are NO Orange Stripes on Flea Medicines Packaging. If there are do nothing else! return it ASAP & message thes eller informing them that they just sold you fake FLP & you expect your money back with no further issues or else you WILL report them to Ebay & leave the appropiate Feedback informing others of their fake FLP auctions. We need to be "tought" with these fakesters! They are not innocent! As easy as it was for you or I to find out what fake FLP looks like was as easy for them to find out too & still decide to sell it & put OUR beloved pets at risk! These GREEDY ppl DO NOT CARE & fix their auctions so they are not even responsible for a refund of your hard earned money when you call them on their fake product!
Too many ppl leave Pos Feedback BEFORE they use the medicine. I use the medicine then leave my Pos or Neg Feedback. It is NOT Pos Feedback because it came to you 2 days after you paid. That is how many of us are duped we assume all the Pos Feedbacks are indicitive of the quality of the product sold when in fact it often means the shipping was faster than normal.
Also if they do NOT offer a refund you should consider someone else that does. Many other legit sellers of FLP offer refunds.
