My friend was browsing on ebay for an iPhone 5 and she came across one that was within her budget. It had an auction set up but it also had a "Buy It Now" price of like $420 and free shipping. So she bought it. There was a 7-10 day handling period (I guess how long it'll take the seller to ship) and she waited the 7-10 days and tried contacting the seller and still no phone. It's been about 3 weeks and she has no phone and no money.
She opened a complaint ticket with ebay and their suppose to be getting the money back for her, but my question is, this is basically stealing… Shouldn't the seller be arrested for fraud or something? Can't she press charges or Ebay can press charges?
Added (1). JaK: Okay well maybe not arrested but at least punished like sued or something… I don't feel like someone should be able to get away with something like this. It's simple to just make a new ebay account and do the exact same thing over and over… Same with paypal:/
Added (2). Kat: Good Point. My only thing about that is he listed the handling time and it's been longer and he has to have internet access because the post was new and now he's not answering messages from her or anything…
