I have paid like almost 500 USD.. I Would get like 12 grams of 24k solid gold if those sellers were real..I didnt think 1 seller which has like 41 positive feedback would scam me.... I got 80 usd refunded this morning..l and the rest i should get by April 5th.. ,, and also i lost 16.99 usd to chinese seller.HIs Auction was too good to be true.. 16.99 USD for a 14 solid gold with natuaral diamond with free shipping.i canceled claim because i didnt know it cant be reopen... From now on i wont buy any items from the seller that has less than 1000. positive feedback.. I also got scammed by seller from Isarael ( like 80 bucks) at first it was my fault because i got problem with my paypal account so he didnt ship the item.. i resent the money after i got my account fixed.. he marked the item as shiped.. his ID is nada_ something.... i would have to look at my feedback because i believe he left me feedbacks too.. so i just am wondering .. how much did u pay for invisible gold to those turkish gold sellers|||I have not been ripped off since I was new to eBay. That was years ago. I think eBay is much safer these days, but you have to be responsible for your own shopping decisions. It seems to me you need to do a better job picking sellers and items. Read and re-read listings. Check out your sellers carefully. Avoid absurd bargains; they don't exist. Start by shopping at home. Avoid electronics and purchases from China. Be very careful with jewellry; a lot of it is cheap junk as reflected in the price. Use the ASQ option to clarify any questions you have about a potential purchase. Always use Paypal and never forget the 45 day deadline for filing claims. Read the Paypal rules to protect yourself. I have had good luck with smaller sellers. They are a great source of unique and hand crafted items. Some of my "happiest" purchases have come from small sellers. I would not buy gold on eBay unless the seller had a stellar reputation. Susan|||Have you made Significantly Not As Described (SNAD) claims for these problem purchases? You can get back ALL of your money except return shipping.|||From now on i wont buy any items from the seller that has less than 1000. That's just plain stupid...There are amazing sellers out there with under 1,000 feedback. Instead of basing your decisions on the feedback number, you should stay clear from sellers who have unsubstantiated negatives, are international and are selling items that are to good to be true. Sounds to me like you made all of those mistakes... your casio watch seller: Link Yup, uh huh, a Casio for 99 cents.... your dell keyboard Link yup, uh huh, a dell keyboard for $13.95 Need I go on?|||I've lost nothing here but I only spend money on good ole USA sellers that have products in their hand ready to ship instead of trying to get a deal from a deadbeat across the ocean 1 stock photo dropshipper. It does make a difference. Spend a little more here in the USA actually will save you money like you just found out.|||OP, always read the feedback - don't just look at the numbers because even if they have 10,000 feedback with 100%, they can still have tons of negatives! Don't buy gold from overseas - or jewels. If the price is too good to be true, it is.|||It's restricted to ship gold and other valuable items in Turkish cargo companies. As a Turkish myself, i feel sad for you but you should have known that GOLD isn't something that you should buy before you actually see it. I hope you will be more picky from now on, pay attention to feedback scores and comments of the sellers.|||ah... that casio watch.. if you looked at the shipping fee its like 30 usd or something.. i just he listed as 0.99 cuz of the listing fee,, AM I wrong?>>> Abt the dell KEYBOARD... have you ever removed ur laptop keyboard??? have u ever looked where it is made in??? what else do u need to go on???

As for your photo and the repeated "bra" info , both appear to be for attention. If you buy an item and do not recieve it or it is not as described, just file with Ebay or Paypal. Review your seller's feedback for selling carefully before bidding. When you buy international, you need to keep in mind, that if the item is not as described, you will be required to return the item with some form of tracking at your cost. Good luck|||Gold is an international market. The price of gold bullion is not lower in some countries than in others. Actually, the demand for gold jewellery is higher in some countries than others (famously in India, where a large part of a family's wealth may be in the form of bangles and baubles). Buying in the North American and European markets is much more sensible. Or go to the bank and buy gold certificates. Much more reliable than volatile bullion.|||I think pretty*in*pink*ct is only giving you sound advice. Many would take your picture the wrong way. No need to be so defensive.
