Guest pjc Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 you could always try selling the instructions for a hard reset to allow unsigned apps! :wink: It will be interesting to see if anyone buys this, 0 bids so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest casper508 Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yeap, have seen these a few times on EBAY. But I would assume that most ppl with an SPV wud've heard of Modaco. So I dont thinks these fellas will make any money. Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cbcox Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 In my opinion, eBay shoudl ban people selling information, like the "free Xbox" etc ones, and DVD player hacks, that are available elsewhere for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest casper508 Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Ooooh the list goes on and on and on. In sept i bought a P800 from one of lists I bought from a similar auction. Paid £350. NEVER GOT THE PHONE :evil: Put me off the P800 ever since :evil: Turned out there was a big P800 fraud goin on at that time on EBAY. I was soooo p****d. Anyways this isnt the place to talk about this stuff. Im happy with my SPV now ! ;) Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 I've just sent an email to ebay complaning of that auction. Main reason being sellers are not alowed to sell text that has been copied from sources without the authers permission. What are the bets that they got the info from this site :evil: Would any of us really try and screw other SPV owners members? I would hope not. I'm mad about this one someone needs a bloody good slap :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Firaas Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Er, wasn't it covered by eBay's insurance? Or your credit card people's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eilsoe Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 personally I steer clear away from online auctions. I don't trust them... and after reading this, I will surely NEVER use EBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest casper508 Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 I only bought the list from EBAY. The phone i bought from a seller mentioned in the list. So that was OUTSIDE ebay domain! And i paid thru a fund transfer service and they dont cover such loses. They only guarantee a safe transfer. BTW i paid another £30 service charges so make that £380!

So generally its safe. Cas P.S. £40 inc. shipping for a 128SD !! Where else can u get that price?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadieb Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Casper508, how much did you pay for the list then? I assumed you sent £350 to someone off the list for the P800, but how much did you have to bid for the list? Always wondered if any of these so called lists that show you how to buy xxxx at £500 less then street price, have ever worked for anybody. BTW shame on the monetary loss. My condolances mate.

Guest shadieb Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Just concerned about it mate. Theres nothing worse then being ripped off. It happened to me last year selling an On digital box through Ebay. The annoying thing is Ebay didn't seem to care less about it ;) Still got a result in the end and no money lost.

Guest AsherUK Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I've never had any problems with E-bay (or QXL)... it's just a case of being cautious and checking out sellers feedback and details first. Saying that though, I am aware that some scams do exist on these auction sites which is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 If you are selling anything on ebay watch out for sudden high bids. This happend to a friend of mine who sold one of his 9210i on ebay. What happens is that the person with the daft high bid wins the auction. they then pay via paypal. (ok no problem so far) they then insist that you sent the phone ASAP (remember it takes awhile for money to clear with paypal) you might get the money to begin with from paypal. Normally the address you send the phone to is in the philippines area of the world. So my friend said ok but really held back. He was then found out that the credit card was for some woman in LA whereas the buyer was male. Paypal then notified him that the card was stolenforged so the money was then withdrawn ;) It was a good job he had a funny feeling about the seller but this is happening all the time. We saved someone else from this fraud the other day SO BEWARE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 We now have a result ;) Below is the reply from ebay Thank you for taking the time to write to eBay. Thank you for alerting us to this auction. The auction in question has been ended by eBay. We really appreciate the terrific help from users like yourself. Together, we can all help keep eBay a safe and fun place to trade. Best wishes, Josh Kent eBay Trust and Safety One for us :lol: why should people make money from all the effort that we the put in to this site? when they have done nothing. If you see anything like this again just let ebay know and give them a link so they can check it out themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
