Ebay and trains

[Capt Bob Johnson]

Yesterday I got one of those scam e-mails purportedly from Paypal requesting that I update my account information! HA! GOTCHA!!! I've never used Paypal and don;t have an account with them!

I forwarded it to the paypal spoof address & deleted it! They replied that it apparently stemmed from e-bay. Another good one as I have never done e-bay. I figure why make it any easier for them to get your info!

Yeah, if they are determined they can get it, but I ain't gonna hold it out there on a silver platter!

I have had a lot of experience at buying rail stuff from ebay and up to just recently i could recommend it. I had some really good deals and everything went pretty good for months.

However my last 3 transactions were no good at all. One the guy never sent me what i had bought and paid for a nice little green powered tender to go with my Sachsen. he got into trouble and had to give me my money back. Then on antother deal i had trouble with freight; wanted to charge me $86.00 for something that should have been about $35.00.

The last one was quite strange i bid for an itemand won it and then it just disappeared from the listings.

I have since had trouble as i have been notified by ebay that someone has been trying to illegaly access my Paypal account from ebay. I know who it is and it is someone i had a brush with some time ago; he appears to me to be a nut, so who knows.

I will still buy some stuff but look carefully at the seller you need 90 % at least rating but then read the comments too much funny stuff and don't bother.

What i have done now is to buy new stuff from ridge Road station and i have had a bit of trouble there as well. But to give them their due they are very cheap and the hickup i had could have been a one off thing and i am going to try them again.

Buying trains from a catalog is pretty expensize and online the shipping is pretty high. But with ebay you can get deals is this always good or is there other resources out there that the trains aren't so high in money.
