eBay
Complaint 39295 Details

Saw an item canon MkII worth 2k to buy and gave details how to contact them to email for deal.. I enquire thru email about the item and before i got reply the item post on ebay is already ended by the seller..

I got email reply from the seller with the email account he posted and told me if interested he will contact ebay for invoice and I will receive invoice from ebay about the item.. Reason for selling cheap is he just got divorced and living with parents..I asked for phone no. but he could not provide as phone has been cut off and he is working on it..

Not thinking when i receive notice from ebay motors and the invoice for the item saying all is cleared and both party are all having good feedback. They gave both seller and buyers contact details without the phone only the email add...

Next is asking payment by wire transfer western union..and sent it to authorized eBay Agent verified payment address:

Agent name:

Tony Heron

Agent address:
20 Wollaton Road, Nottingham, NG8 1FW, United Kingdom


Sadly i did as it looks real..too late when i send the money i realized somethings wrong..They even reply informing that they receive the money and next thing asking for insurance before they can send the item because document and papers is in my name. Will return the insurance and western union money payment after ebay personel and buyer check the item and when buyer is happy with the purchase thats the time they will release the money to the seller..

This time ive been asking lots of questions but didnt get the answer that i want..I didnt send any money anymore and thinking that the money i sent is all gone..

This is one of the copy from ebay waiting for insurance payment...

Item Description: Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1 Megapixel Digital Camera
Case ID: VPP-204779076926
Delivery status: PENDING! - until the insurance payment is confirmed! Delivery will be made in max 48 hours after the insurance payment is confirmed!



Dear Blanche Bedford,

We can't accept PayPal in this transaction so please follow the payment instructions and proceed with the insurance payment so the delivery can be made.

You have to proceed with the insurance payment of AU $750.00 so the delivery can be made in max 48 hours! The agent will give you the money back including the Western Union fees but you have to proceed with the insurance payment because the documents must be under your name and address!

All you have to do now is to go at Western Union office (you can find an Western Union office at your local Post Office) and make the insurance payment from your name and address to our verified agent name and address. After the insurance payment is done email us all the payment details.

• eBay Agent verified payment address:


Agent name:

• Once the insurance payment is sent, email us the following informations:

1. 10 digit MTCN# (Money Transfer Control Number):
2. Exact sender's name on file with Western Union:
3. Your street address on file with Western Union:

5. Scanned paper from Western Union:
6. Amount sent:

We will send the money to the seller after the agent will come at your address with the camera and all papers! The agent will help you to test and inspect the camera!

**Note: Transfer fees can be deducted from the amount your are sending (Example: When you send $750.00 Money in Minutes the fees will be around AU $50.00 so you will send $700.00 + $50.00 so the total amount that you will send will be $750.00).

*NOTE It may occur that your e-mail doesn't support HTML language and that is why you haven't received the invoice from us. Please check your bulk/junk/spam/ messages, the invoice may have ended there because of the ever increasing filters of the e-mails nowadays.
