It was devastating. I reported her . She spelled her name (ROBBIN With 2 B"s) and when I goggled it, it was a scam and had happened to several people. I will never be so ignorant again. |
It is definitely a hard lesson learned
I, personally, was always too scared to buy anything over the internet. If I couldn't see it in person, then I didn't buy it. It has only been recently that I have actually started buying stuff off of ebay. I really don't like paying for something before I actually get it.
