Hey Folks...
Its easy to point the finger at UKSO, when someone makes an accusation we then have to investigate, try and find evidence of the claims.
We have to behave and act very much like the police. That's not easy and takes some time.
Ill express this again to everyone on this site though. We don't run background checks on you all when you sign up. You DONT know who your dealing with online. (that goes for ebay, ukso or anywhere else). We strongly recommend you do several things before buying from someone on here..
1, Check the Feedback Section for Previous Feedback. (This will give you a good indication straight away)
2, Always use Paypal. ALWAYS use the seller protection scheme. NEVER send as a gift... Paypal will ALWAYS favour the buyer and you have 30days to open a claim and get your money back.
3, If you suspect someone is taking you for a ride. Post a thread up explaining your situation and see if anyone else has had similar issues.
If you do the three things above I cant see how you can get scammed to be honest?
ep-beast has been banned for some time... Not just his account but his IP's and mail accounts...
Myself and many other of the staff on UKSO get 20+ PM's a day and its Nie on Impossible to keep up with them all as we have every day jobs.
We will always try our best to help you, but a little common sense when dealing with people online you don't know is a big help!
