Thank you yes i will do that because i called them today and they said how they do not tolerate fraud. But yet when i read your post it was from November. But yet they was able to re list it. I think they do need to take some blame in letting them do this. Im very annoyed at this. I wouldnt have seen any advert if ebay acted and not let this happen again. They said as this was outside ebay, they cannot be held responsible. Because the woman started emailing because she reckon shes deaf which is a lie, but before that ebay clearly saw the first correspondence in my message box to her and vice versa. That alone should have rung bells for ebay. Im gutted to the core and im not sure how long it will take me to get over this. This has affected me greatly, not to mention restrictions on my bank account now. Do you know when the ad was taken down? As i first saw the ad on the 9th dec. Thanks
