Good man. The temptation of a good bargain is my Achilles heel too.

I was stung on ebay but going back 9 years ago now for a bumper on ebay. It was £120 and never turned up. I did reclaim most of it back though. But in a way, it was kind of a blessing in disguise, as it was this bumper:

Who knew, that my bad taste would improve so well! :lol:

Was that a drunken bid? A dare maybe? :o

Sounds like you're taking it stoically. This kind of thing does tend to shake your faith, but hopefully not too much.
Yeah, what's the point in beating myself up about it? My guard is up now, but I'll still carry on. Not much more to go now really either ;-)

We agreed a sale outside of ebay though. Whether I'd been talking to the hacker or the genuine account holder it would have been my risk either way in their eyes and they advise against it.

I haven't even contacted ebay about it as I know what their response will be.
