very scummy thing to doJust on the subject of disputes.... I bought a mobile phone on email some years ago and the seller sent me an empty box! I submitted a dispute and the seller tried to claim I was the one trying it on. Ebay were going to side with the seller at first because it was sent recorded delivery, until I pointed out the postage paid on the parcel was for exactly the weight of the empty box that I received, so it could never have contained anything when it was sent. Seller went quiet after that. They should have been struck off in my opinion because it amounted to deliberate fraud.
Reminds me of when I used to use eBay in the 90s and you didn't have to provide ANY PROOF AT ALL in terms who you were to have an ebay account and people would send CASH though the posts of bloody cheques for items. The whole thing was rife for people taking the mick
