I treated this the same as I messing treated everything else i bought here.
Maybe just dont buy here anymore
Maybe take down the selling board on here.
No where does it say to only use Market place
You never even gone on market place.

Lol like how they changed some of my words
LoL
Just read thru my posts and I dont see complaining at all just stating facts and the user that scammed me and others.
The responses were well with in this very first post but didn't address if market place was part of R2R and how that would make a difference.

I haven't used the market place myself but it seems to me from what I've read that people getting scammed are skirting the market place payments. If that's the case then I'm not sure why the complaints are being posted here making it sound like R2R is doing the wrong. Follow the rules and you won't get scammed, plain and simple. Skirting the system is nothing new and if a person chooses to do so they should look in the mirror and then they'll know where to place blame. This nothing new. Sellers were requesting eBay buyers to complete sales outside of eBay years ago before PayPal was a thing so they didn't have to pay eBays fees. At the time eBay provided the buyers protection so any payment that skirted the system had no buyers protection. Sellers would offer discounts to complete the purchase outside of eBay. Maybe I'm missing something here but it seems like people who choose not to follow the rules that are clearly explained should be willing to accept the risk but they also need to accept responsibility for their actions and place blame where it belongs. Too many people want to shift the blame when something goes wrong instead of stepping up and accepting responsibility for their actions.
Like I said I have not used the new market place but I haven't heard of anyone following the rules and not skirting the system getting scammed but maybe I'm wrong

I haven't purchased on marketplace yet, but I have used eBay quite a bit.

The buyer protection on that platform is terrible now. They also delete negative feedback or any review mentioning eBay in a negative light. .

Awww. I don't think he means it. I think @exnisstech misunderstood - he thinks you used the NEW marketplace but didn't pay through the marketplace.

I think you are saying you used the OLD marketplace, which basically is just classifieds and no built in way to pay.

I think what @exnisstech says is very true, but it just doesn't apply to this situation.


As a buyer, I'm pretty excited about the new marketplace. The way I understand it R2R holds your money is escrow until you say you received the product. That seems a lot safer to me. I've made a few purchases and so far so good.
