I've tried 3 times now to sell the LG P100 on ebay or fleabay.
The first two times closed by a fraudster and a hacker, the next by someone (I think I know who) who registered and bid and then dissappeared. So that's it. I keep it. I was going to take a big loss on it anyway (sell for $2000 when it cost me $2700 in April) but it would have been OK because the Samsung Q1U suits my purposes perfectly. But I'm over fleabay now who offer no protection from fraud or nefarious bidders (although the latest one better expect he's got something coming his way). How can someone register with a completely obvious and bogus nam and then close someones auction? I thought you had to go through some verification - hell i did!
But of course ebay charges it's final value fee, instantly, and then if i want it back I have to lodge an action after 7 days, and then a follow up after 14, and then jump through hoops and sing and dance until 30 days later I get my money back from what was so obviously a dodgy deal. Ebay sucks, there's a website to prove it. How many other Companies have whole websites dedicated to telling people they suck? NOw for a public entity, Oh, hang on, they're not a public entity. THey are registered in some offshore tax haven, they don't pay tax on their transactions, they're not subject to any of the public scrutiny they're competitors are. How can they get away with it?
You're guess is as good as mine.
