To good to be true
« on: April 29, 2019, 02:59:46 pm »
  That old saying, ( If it looks to good to be true, then it probably isn't ) is probably more true today than it ever was.  About a week ago I purchased a couple of shop vacuum cleaners, that were selling at a great price with free delivery. I did think that this is to cheap to be true, but with the protection of Paypal I took the risk.
  Today I received an email from ebay telling me that an unauthorized third party had accessed the sellers account to list this item and it had now been removed from ebay and the transactions cancelled and telling me to contact Paypal for a full refund.
   When I made the second purchase, for my brother they had sold 74 of them, so I'm was not the only dope looking on ebay that night, in my defence, I probably would not of made the purchase without the paypal protection.

Everyday I find one more name to add to the list of people who piss me off.

Good recovery Zane. The old PayPal cuts both ways but is probably the reason eBay still exists- and vacs regardless, so many old bikes are viable restorers.
If you love it, lube it.
