On 15th March a transaction was complete through my PayPal account for £53.66 following my ordering of a laptop battery from Battery Trader. I have yet to receive the battery I ordered or any other indication that there might be a problem with my order. I have sent several messages requesting details but have received no reply.

Looking at similar stories here this appear not to be an isolated incident. Is this site simply a scam? Has anyone received their goods from this trader?

I have logged a dispute with PayPal and would urge others who paid this way to do the same - in principle PayPal can block them, as I understand.
