Saw a rv on ebay. Emailed seller to ask some questions about rv and he offered a very good price and I told him I would buy it. He said he would contact ebay and we would do the deal thur squaretrade. Everything looked and sounded okay. SquareTrade told us to send $3000.00 for deposit by Western Union, we did that.
Waited to here from seller, did not return emails at all. Then contacted SquareTrade & Ebay found out the members id was stolen and there was no trace of transaction on Square Trade. So I lost my money.
The real problem is that Ebay knew this was happening, did not warn consumers and has been trying to cover it up. It is still going on, Ebay ignores emails and you can't talk to a live person.
They are deceiving consumers by telling them their site is secure, knowing it is not.
Warning!!! Nothing is safe concerning Ebay!!! Don't use them!!
