wow.. that is a great deal.. now who's helping me spend to much money :)  One of our "favorite" drs loves to garden, she wins tons of things locally but she takes all her "many" magazines to her office and she lets us take them home.  I get so many ideas just looking at pictures.

thanks!

Kay, glad to help!  I thought I got a deal on my one year subscription which ended a few months ago.  It was $9.99 for one year so when I came across this one.. I had to share it with you guys.
It's not my very favorite garden magazine but I do enjoy it...


LOL Tink.. I believe we help each other SAVE money in the long run! :)
I believe most of us love a bargain and I'd be disappointed if we didn't share them with each other!

Nice Dr. that lets you take the magazines home!

I hadn't thought to look on ebay for magazine subscriptions. I will now. I like Horticulture, it's one of the nicer magazines. Now to find Fine Gardening  ;D

I know it is only five bucks but Please be aware that magazine subscriptions are high fraud on eBay.

You won't (not) get the first magazine until AFTER the deadline to file a fraud claim with PayPal has passed.

You need to check with your bank and see how long you have to file a claim with your credit card and use it.

I have read dozens of posts by those ripped off on subscriptions on the eBay boards. By the time the buyers realize they have been ripped off the seller has made hundreds of dollars. It is sometimes too late to leave feedback too.

Yes this is true LeeAnne.. all of the feedback appears to be before people have got their magazines which is not smart in my opinion.
This person does seem to have some unbelievable deals which made me more leary but some are very close to what others are selling them for....

So far I've never been burnt on magazines thru ebay ( I'm probably jinxing myself now) but always wait until I receive my first magazine before leaving feedback.
Isn't the cutoff for feedback 90 days ?

If I recall, I have 6 months to file a claim on my credit card company...


Ebay is always a risk, last year a person who I'd bought plants off of for a couple years all of a sudden disappeared and alot of people got took.. found out later that she moved then started a new user ID.
The auctions were for plants which were going to be shipped out in the Spring for presale so many people couldn't leave feedback when the plants didn't arrive.

Well like LeeAnne said.. FRAUD.

Kay, I suggest filing a claim thru Paypal ASAP.  I read that several people were contacted by Ebay regarding this seller so I submitted mine last week and got notification from Paypal that they are reimbursing me.

I'm glad you got your money back Bonnie.  Thanks for the update.  There's a reason someone made up that cliche, "If it sounds too good to be true....."

Glad that you got your money back Kay.. sorry 'bout that.

That's true Mikey but I have got some very good deals in the past..

Paypal and CC's can be a pain for some but it's nice to know that you are covered in cases like this.
