Got ripped off on EBAY

[Blue_Runner]

Sorry RW....I got it times 2....

1 - selling my old boat. I put it up with "buy it now" and Mr. ripoff hits the button. The guy had a negative 4 rating....cost me $45 or so in fees....can't remember but it seems like eBay reimbursed me? I won't do buy it now any more and specify in writing that bidders with negatives will have their bids cancelled. I have cancelled suspicious bids since then.

2 - I bought a squid daisy chain from a reputable seller and waited. And waited. Emailed. Waited. Emailed. Waited. Started to notice negatives showing up on his profile where people payed and did not receive - just like me. Called him and he says he's sorry and he's gonna send 2 of the chains for my trouble.....never did. Cost me around $30.
