It started with a simple search for Netflix subscriptions on eBay, and I stumbled upon a seller who had the perfect offer - a lifelong subscription with auto-renewals and instant new code if your subscription got suspended. I was intrigued and bought one immediately, paying through PayPal.
The first few weeks went smoothly, and I was happy with my purchase. However, after a month or so, my subscription got suspended, and the seller stopped responding to my messages. I quickly opened a dispute with PayPal, and they resolved it in my favor, refunding the entire amount.
At first, I thought it was just a one-off issue, so I went ahead and bought another subscription from a different seller. This time, it lasted only two weeks before getting suspended. I realized that I had fallen prey to a classic scam - buying fake Netflix subscriptions on eBay.
But I was determined not to give up and continued to buy subscriptions from different sellers. With each purchase, I felt more and more frustrated, as they all turned out to be fraudulent. But thanks to PayPal's buyer protection program, I was able to get my money back every time.
However, after the sixth attempt, I had an epiphany. I finally realized that by repeatedly buying these fake subscriptions, I was not only wasting my own time and resources but also contributing to encouraging fraudulent activities on eBay. I felt guilty and ashamed of myself.
So, I decided to stop buying these fake subscriptions and instead chose to pay for a genuine Netflix subscription. It was more expensive, but at least I could watch my favorite shows without worrying about getting scammed.
In conclusion, getting infected with Netflix syndrome and buying fake subscriptions on eBay was a lesson learned the hard way. But I'm glad that I realized my mistake and made a conscious decision to stop encouraging fraudulent activities
