Hmm, well maybe you've just been unlucky - I've found everyone on retrobike to be absolutely fantastic and totally honest and that's from years of buying and selling on this forum.
Italian ebay however . . .
:roll:
I've not been scammed, but using Facebook & Bikeradar has formed this habit of paying by the non gift method of PayPal payment, even if it means paying a few pence to cover the sellers fees.
On Bikeradar it's a forum rule you must pay this way, as its had is share of scammers, although I've not had any issues.
Facebook selling pages are regular haunts of scammers, usually selling Garmin 1000, so this is why I stick to my habits
PPG also advised against on here, too. From the classifieds rules...
The Deal
Use your common sense and discretion!
Check the users feedback. Either through the feedback forum or by clicking the feedback link below their post.
Do not use paypal gift, this breaches paypal's terms and conditions and gives no protection in case of issue.
Exchange 'real' contact details like name, address and phone number before the transaction occurs.
All items should be sent via recorded post.
As long as you cover the fee, I fail to see what the problem could be?
