Last week I wrote a post on how I was deceived by an e-bay seller. I wanted to buy an Apple magic mouse for my new computer. You can pay over £60 for one. I found a few sellers on e-bay selling them for around the £39-£40 mark. The seller I selected stated there were 3 in stock and I could have it 3 days later. It finally arrived yesterday. Last night I opened it up but could not get it to work. Rang my son, he asked if I had switched bluetooth on and I said I had but still not working. He said he would come over.
As soon as he saw the mouse he told me it was a fake and not worth even £1, it was not caple of operating with bluetooth so it was no wonder I could not get it working. I am a little in the dark when it comes to sorting out this sort of problem with e-bay but thankfully my son knew what to do. He has contacted the seller and laid down the facts etc. he said the seller should give me an immediate refund but if he doesn't then e-bay will sort it out, I think he said in ten days time, giving the seller ample time to respond.
Had it not been for my son I would not have known I had bought a fake and I wonder how many more people have been ripped off like me. I know there are a lot of fake items on e-bay and it must cause a lot of heart ache for many people.
