EBAY SCAMS

[ali-uk]

I havent bought tickets from this web site, but would next time i went to disney [msnsmile]

We have just been scammed with e-bay, not for Disney tickets though. My husband bought 4 tickets for Wembley in June to see Muse, these tickets never came and i was suspect about it as soon as the e-mail confirmation came through, i kept an eye on that account then realised that other people didnt get theres before we were due ours. We all contacted PayPal ( thankfully we paid with them ) and got a full refund in 10 days[msnsmile2].
I have bought tickets for gigs from e-bay before with no problems sometimes it very hard to tell if they are real or not. We wont be buying from there again.
Isnt this site backed by Disney to sell their ticket for them??

We also have seen tickets advertised on ebay which are half used I dont think these are cheap and would never take the risk
What I cant understand is how can second hand tickets get by Disneys bio scan technology Also why doesnt this site name and shame these people identified on ebay.I have seen sellers on ebay and it is the same people all the time some even have positive feedback how ??

Wish we could name and shame but we would only end up getting sued!

Positive feedback - though a very useful tool in 99% of the cases - is extremley easy to get. If you have the time - and most of the scammers do as they do nothing else but scam - all you have to do is sit at the computer generating a new user account every 5 mins then - over a short period of time - use these new accounts to 'buy' something and leave yourself positive feedback.
I read of a case where someone did exactly this, building up his rating and the confidence of his potential customers before selling hundreds of items over a couple of days (I think they were I-pods) at a very low price. Needless to say no-one got their i-pods and the scammer made off with a lot of money for little effort.
One way to help notice this is by checking the feedback score of the people leaving the feedback - if that makes sense. If all of the people leaving the feedback only have a very low rating I would be tempted to give it a miss.
