DO NOT BUY ON EBAY OR PAY WITH PAYPAL. THEY DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRAUDULENT SELLERS. It doesn't work for me either. I'll let this be published, but I'll post it on social media to inform people about how eBay and PayPal operate. On June 17, I bought a second-hand computer; I realized the listing was fake in less than 10 minutes, but the seller did not accept the cancellation even though he had not yet shipped the goods. I asked eBay to contact me but they did not do so at the time, and they did it when I could not answer the phone. The thing is, I opened a dispute with PayPal. PayPal sided with the seller, who sent a fake tracking number because, as I say, nothing has been received. Among other things, it is impossible for a 20 kg product worth more than €300 to arrive in Spain without going through customs. But PayPal gives credibility to the seller's tracking. Losing almost €400. I repeat, if you have an eBay account, close it and never use that platform again, IT IS NO LONGER RELIABLE. On the other hand, THERE ARE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON SELLERS so they can continue to get away with it with future buyers. I wrote a negative review and, to my surprise, the review is not there.
