  2. Dear MCF bros and sis, I just received a phone call at around 3:30pm today with the following message:- "Hi sir, I am from eBay Paypal services. We are currently doing a free verification service for our members. At a time convenient for you, one of our consultants will guide you through a step-by-step process online in order to get this done." At this point, I grew suspicious and hung up the phone. For everyone info, I'm posting the first few numbers of the phone that called me (as per advice from our moderators in MCF). 6760-xxxx PM me for more information on the above. So far, I've asked and it's pointless to call the police on this matter as there hasn't been any real fraud taken place, nor has the person actually taken down any information from me, not even my name, except for having had my handphone number to begin with. With this message, I'm not saying that eBay or Paypal are not genuinely conducting such a program, but that since the manner in which this lady approached me seems dubious, I am leaning towards the side of caution. I am investigating this matter directly with eBay customer service staff members
  3. What would you do if you lost your most prized possession? This man, Robert Russell, went looking for his stolen sports car on eBay for 42 years! Robert Russell never gave up searching for the 1967 Austin-Healey, which was stolen from his home in Philadelphia in 1970. Russell recently spotted what he thought was his car on eBay. He checked the vehicle identification number on the website against the one on the car's title certificate and found they matched. Russell, who now lives in Texas, then contacted the police in May who then tracked down the car in East Los Angeles. "Detective Ortega located the stolen Austin-Healey at the dealership listed in the eBay ad and confirmed that the car was the same vehicle reported stolen by Mr. Russell," the department said. After working with Philadelphia police to resolve vehicle identification issues, the department told Russell he could pick up his car. He has since brought it back to Texas. Russell told deputies that he bought the vehicle for US$3,000 (S$3,746). It's now valued at US$23,000 (S$28,724). Robert Russell said he continued his search for the vehicle, not for its monetary value, but because it had sentimental value to both him and his wife.
  4. It's only natural for today's children, even toddlers, to play with their parents' smartphones, at least so it seems. Even my 2-year old niece is used to playing her mother's iPad. Well, most of the time, nothing of a big deal would actually happen as she would only play games or watch some videos on the tablet. However, it seems that this toddler seen in the video is just one step ahead of other kids of her age in terms of being tech savvy. While playing with his Dad's smartphone, Sorella Stoute (a 13-month old toddler living in Portland, Oregon, America) happened to successfully place a bid - which she finally won - on eBay for a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite! When eBay sent the car to Paul Stoute, the toddler's father, he was all shocked as he had never even placed any bid on the '62 Austin. He also wrote to eBay mentioning that it was his daughter who accidentally placed that bid, which later caused the auction site to consider the previous highest bidder. However, when eBay mentioned that Paul's daughter had such an eye for a nice car, he changed his mind and borrowed some money from his family to pay for the car. Now, what Paul has in mind is to place the car as a gift for her daughter's 16th birthday. He has also set up a website from which people can donate some money to help him fix the car before her daughter finally reaches 16. One great thing about the car I'll have to say is that despite it being made back in 1962, it has almost no rust on it, at least that's what Paul noted on his website. For your information, though, the car would need its roof, brakes, transmission, and engine replaced if Paul really wants to give his daughter a working car on her 16th birthday. The car costs $225 in total and Stoute mentioned that it was lucky for him that his daughter didn't happen to buy the Porsche he was also looking at on the auction site before his daughter tampered with his smartphone. Had the 13-month old bought the Porsche instead, Stoute would have had to pay a total of $38,000! It seems that this is really going to be a good lesson to remind us never to leave our smartphones unattended. As for Stoute, he has now secured his smartphone with a new PIN and also a face recognition application. Seriously, how many toddlers can share their pride of having actually carried out online shopping successfully?! Photo credit: CBS News

    Bill Cosby

    Many of us here would know who Bill Cosby is and would remember his hit TV sitcom, The Cosby Show, which aired during the 1980s up till the early 1990s. But many do not know that Bill Cosby also has a taste for fine luxury automobiles. The vehicle you see above is actually a 1970s Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 which was once owned by the comedian and was a part of his car collection at one time. The Ferrari was recently put up for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $37,500 (S$47,408). In the eBay listing, the seller who is from San Antonio, Texas, mentioned that Bill Cosby was the only owner of the car. It is possible that the seller is a dealer who deals in cars formerly owned by famous people. You might ask if there is any proof that Bill Cosby used to own this Ferrari. Situated within the interior of the car is a plaque which stated that the car was specially prepared for the actor and it was imported by a company known as Milano Imports. It was known that this particular Ferrari model was never officially imported by the local Ferrari dealerships and it was assumed that Bill Cosby ordered the car through the above mentioned company. The Ferrari is in a very good condition and judging from the pictures, it clearly shows that Bill Cosby knows how to look after his fine cars. The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was produced during the 1970s with around 500 units manufactured. It was fitted with a 4.3-litre V12 engine which produces 320bhp and the engine was mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. That may not sound much nowadays but with the car's celebrity status, the starting bid is just a steal.
  6. Great move by ebay, as a seller I welcome this great change. Base on my more than 7 years selling experience, about 70% of our locals click buy but never continue to make payment. Of the 30% who make payment, 70% didn't give feedback.
  7. Most of the ebay and Amazon online sellers will love to hear your views on how you choose the sellers.
  8. recently got an eBay email telling free listing so itchy backside try for fun put up an item for sale then paid post office addition money to document that the item had been send buyer claim never receive the item then provide eBay proof of delivery eBay came back as favoring buyer the reason is unless you have tracking number ensuring that the buyer actually received it, you as seller will always loose i asked if register mail can, Ebay said cannot be used as proof if item is a few dollars, then use the tracking number system will cost tens of dollar where got meaning any advice from bros thanks
  9. 16 years after his beloved 1969 Camaro was stolen, Edward Neeley located his long lost car by chance while searching the internet for a car to replace it. Neeley calls the fact he found the car, which he had first purchased 30 years ago at the age of 18, "divine intervention". Although it's great to hear a story about a stolen car being reunited with an owner that loved it, this story isn't without a downside. What Neeley called "divine intervention" would likely be given a different name by the Camaro's current owner Brent Dockery. Dockery purchased the car for $16,000 4 years ago on Ebay without having any knowledge that the car was stolen. Since then he has spent a considerable amount of money ($10,000), time and effort restoring the Camaro. Below is a picture of how the Camaro looks like currently. The two men are currently trying to reach an agreement regarding the parts and money Dockery put into the car while he had it. So far it has been difficult, but Dockery concedes that the car will return home after 16 long years once the men find a way to settle the matter. Neeley understandably is overjoyed at the impending return of his missing Camaro after such a long time. Dockery plans to track down the person he purchased the car from in an attempt to recoup some of his losses.

  16. Please share your biggest purchase on eBay. What prompted you to buy from eBay? Availability, price? What's your main concern? Payment security, warranty, seller's reputation? What did you do to address your concerns? For me, I am late entrant to the eBay arena. My biggest purchase is a 24-piece stainless steel collar stays from a eBay seller based in US. Cost me less than $25.

  19. My ebay.com.sg id is tied to my paypal account. When I try to list on ebay.com.sg , there's no way I can choose paypal as payment option. When I try to list on ebay.com there is paypal as payment option. But I won't be able to use the shipping options as it deems item location is in US even though I've selected location as Singapore. ebay's live help is useless, their consultant only tried to snook me and asked me to re-register again at main site which was of no use. I need help on how to sell internationally. Which site should I list on and how do I go about the respective problems?
