Hi Stephen, sorry to hear that you too were caught up in the same mess. I totally agree with you that Amazon’s A-to-Z works well on the whole but my only complain was that it took quite some time for them to realize the scale of the scam (in this particular case).

Hi, I (£750) Canon 50d) like you were one of these unfortunate folk caught up in this horrible mess – I thought Amazons actions at the very start were a little disjointed and confused, but they soon took control and paid up when the scale of the scam became apparent. I really can’t blame Amazon too much in this case, how on earth could they vet sellers? Like Ebay its the feedback system that evens it all out in the end. The potential for this form of abuse can never be removed completely, but Amazons A-Z guarantee works extremely well on the whole. I’m pleased you got a full refund, as I, and I’m sure everyone else will. Stephen

Good that you got your money back but need to be careful online…
