TBH, I still stand by what I said earlier, think of it like this, EBAY specialise in selling things, that's their entier business, they have a massive sales site set up, payment gateways, paypal is their company, they offer ways to advertise products, and when things do go wrong, they are as mediators and arbitrators in the process, COMPUTER FORUMS is a computer forum, that's the entier business, we have a big forum, but no sales marketplace, we have no payment gateways, no money transfering companies, no mediators and no after sale feed back systems, being perfectly honest, if people get csammed when using Ebay, then they are just as likely, (if not more likely due to lack of any protection) to get scammed here, there is no simple protection that can be put in place.
if I were being perfectly honest I would say to someone, yes, Paypal has it's troubles, Ebay is flawed as well and open to csammers, but from the point of view of pretection I'd much rather send someone there than I would suggest that they post an advert on this site.
simply because we offer no protection at all, none, nada, zilch, zip etc, if you've been scammed on ebay, (or are worried about being scammed on ebay) why on earth would you come to a less secure place to trade?
