I hate ebay.. shoddy goods, dodgy dealers and shill bidders everywhere. One guy last year had the nerve to try to rip me off 3 times for the same item. I sent it and he claimed it had not arrived..so being nice I sent another, because things can go missing. But I paid the extra for recorded delivery on it...apparently that didn't arrive either but I checked and it was delivered to his address and signed for (with a duff name) So just for fun (it wasn't a large thing and I had lots of them) I sent a third by UPS fully insured and to only be signed for by the named addressee. who promptly signed for it and then a few days later claimed that hadn't arrived and demanded a refund. I happily sent him the logs from the PO and UPS proving delivery and he then started claiming I had the address wrong..DUH! So I did a little investigating of the things he was selling and bidding on and found an interesting coincidence..one of the names that was bidding on one of his items was selling exactly the same items I had sent. Hmm interesting, so I used my business account and bid up the item until I won it and surprise..surprise..when the invoice for payment came it was the guy who ripped me off. I sent a full report of everything..copies of delivery notes and all invoices to ebay who as usual did completely nothing..
Now all I do is sell rubbish on ebay when I can be bothered..and I don't answer any complaints whatsoever. My registered email account is a black hole and the credit card I used no longer has an account or an address to go with it. It's funny how easy it is to get a card online.. Suffice to say I don't accept paypal.. Buyer beware..the new slogan for ripoffbay!!
I like what the guy did posting all the pictures, but he should remember that the seller has his address. That's why I'm not totally convinced that this is as real as it seems. Most likely somebody bought a used drive at a flea market or something and got a nice gift of loads of somebody elses data.. rofl..
How to format a drive.. recommended method for disposal.. Sledgehammer!
