Ok I came across this thread and this is probably an offshoot of the thread where the buyer received a chinese N8.
Just a thought to be discussed. Would it help if TE had an escrow type service for payments. All the payments then would have to go through that. There will of course be a % charge for this.
Even then what if the buyer claims that he did not receive the product or received a damaged product. How can we verify that? How does ebay handle such cases?
