How to get free stuff from ebay.

Buy item, pay through paypal, and get it.

Claim item is not as described.
Post a brick back to the seller (tracked).

As you can show paypal a tracking number that was in fact delivered to the
seller, they will now reverse the transaction.

Sell item down pub.

If police arrive, say that the seller is lying, and trying to get out
of giving his refund.
I see,so it won't work the otherway round? :-) sorry but that doesn't carry
weight or brick in this case.

No.
Seller sends buyer brick - then buyer just claims it's not as described,
and returns brick, paypal refunds as before.


Seller claims it was a gold plated coffee bar.

Paypal holds onto everyone's money for ever.

The point about paypal is they have fixed it so that they *never ever lose*.
