its the first time i recieved something like this, its good thing they let you know that a seller has been stealling people but i think they should reimbursed everybody right away cause they suspended him and they know he a rip off artist and he has done it to several people , its not a one time deal, if i go throug paypal i probably wont get anything back, anyways it was a 2$ card so its not that big a deal



Dear Jonathan Jacques ([email protected]),

The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety regarding:

Item Number - 5153136544
Item Title - RONDELL WHITE PLAYER THREAD. DUAL JERSEY 250 CUBS EXPOS

Our records show that you were a bidder or buyer of one or more of this seller's
items. We recently removed all of this seller's listings and have suspended the
seller's trading privileges. Due to privacy concerns we will not be able to
share further details related to this seller.

If someone claiming to be the seller asks you to complete a transaction outside
of eBay, we strongly recommend that you ignore the request. Transactions for
items listed on eBay that are completed outside of the eBay marketplace are not
covered by the Buyer Protection services offered by eBay and can be highly
indicative of fraud.

If you have not sent payment to the seller, we urge you to not proceed with the
transaction.

If you have already paid, you may wish to pursue options to recoup your funds.
Some steps you might take include:

1. Ask the seller for a refund
2. If you paid by check, ask your bank to stop payment
3. If you paid by credit card, contact your credit card company's security
department
4. If you have made a payment by money order or wire transfer, you may contact
that company for further information at 1-800-325-6000 (Western Union), or at
1-800-926-9400 (Money Gram)
5. If you paid with PayPal, review the Buyer Complaint Process at:

/csg/p?www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/protections-buyer-outside

6. Review eligibility requirements for eBay's standard purchase protection
program at:

There are many tips on how to protect yourself with any Internet transaction in
the eBay Security & Resolution Center located at:

Our goal is to ensure that your eBay experience is safe so that you can buy
confidently. It is rare that something goes wrong with a transaction on eBay,
but we're here to help you protect yourself in the event it does. If you have
additional questions, please send us an email using the "Contact Us" link found

I haven't ever received one like that for cards, I have received one about bootleg dvds - but luckily today they notified me that there was suspicious activity on my account, and helpfully provided me a link to sign with the update my information - how sweet of them.

Which you didn't do I hope!!!
 
No, I didn't - I keep forgetting that sarcasm doesn't translate well into typing. I get email and paypal ones every week or so. The poor grammar and spelling mistakes usually are a tipoff.
 
Not getting those as much,now it's the Nigerian 20 million dollar scam......lol.If you can't make it to Nigeria to collect,please send $$$$ to cover bank costs.....LOL.
 
I've had those emails where they cancel a bid due to the item being removed by eBay staff for violating policy, and the horrible Paypal / Updated Info scams

Bleh to them all!

I got one of those Nigerian thing today too. also had one for Claim this 24 million from this Tsunami victim.

If you get one asking to stand up for deceaced Tsinami victims about there offshore funds, from some company in london, contact the Red Cross, they will foward it to the authorities to stop these scams and prosocute the senders
