So yeah, i wanted to buy traktor, as my friend wanted his software back.
I checked on ebay and there was this guys selling one for 40$. It seemed normal as i often see people on djtechtools selling their serial for about that price.
I just received an email from the seller saying that he had shipped the CD, but he also provided me a direct download of my software so i could enjoy it right now, while i was waiting for the official CD.
The download was a crack from traktor 2.6.0. No serial.
I now doubt i will ever receive my traktor CD, and if i do, it will probably be another cracked software, with no serial (proof that it is a crack) and so their is no way i can register my product on NI website…
And if it would happen to be the real software, his idea of sending me a cracked software as a download would still be shitty.
Damn i want to track him down and shove his fking CD up his a.
Do you know what can i do in order to get my money back (if possible) ?
They redirect me to paypal.. i paid as a guest so raising a claim will be a bit more difficult than i thought. I’ll have to contact them directly i guess !
I has no serial number (it is pre-registred) and when i open it it has a big UNION logo (a group that crack sofware) with the DMG and a “crack” folder lol hahaha
It was like a mediafire link. So legit…
I’ve called paypal and they will refund me !! yessss
Scammers can move money out of hacked accounts before you’ve tried to get the money back. They can also place redirecting links within auction pages that steal your Ebay and Paypal login details. They often ask you to pay money as a “gift”, essentially giving up all the protection that Paypal provides.
Buying from individuals always carries more risk than buying from a reputable shop. You have no warranty coverage and no assurance that the product you’re buying is genuine.
a) Are insured to the hilt
b) Will refund without question in the majority of cases where there’s an issue, and ALWAYS where you can PROVE you’ve been duped/let down
c) Take the liability of every transaction on your behalf, and then chase the sellers down themselves
In the past 10 years I’ve spent WELL over £10k on eBay (maybe another 5k on PayPal with other sites), and not once have I ever actually been properly ripped off. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve gotten items which were in a bit worse condition than I’d expected, made stupid PEBKAC errors where I’VE ordered the wrong item, and just generally gotten poor quality goods which have broken after less than a year (a £9.99 gas-powered soldering iron springs to mind), but these VERY few “bad” end results are nothing that couldn’t have happened at a market or even a cheapo high street store.
even if the money had been moved out of the account, paypal will refund you out of their own pocket, that is how they have like the best customer service in the world.
