What kind of eBay scams are some of you running??

[jilla82]

I know some of you on here are dirty.

Ive been selling heavy on there for a few months now, and have run into some knuckle heads.
The sad part is that you can tell what race they are based on their prior purchases, names, and the chicken head Facebook messages they send


So what is the game that people are passing around?



edit: dang...someone move this...I thought I was in a different forum

I was got once years ago on eBay trying to get that 9th Prince - Granddaddy Flow album, shyt turned up and it was a burned CD.

I can laugh now, wasn't happy then, though.

Actually, coming to think of it I don't think I've used eBay since.

u newbies know NOTHING bout scamming on ebay.

i was on ebay in 99.
you wouldnt be able to fathom the shyt that went on there with scamming.
much $$ was for the taking on that site.
99-02 were good years on there

selling stuff on ebay will give you such a different perspective about it if all you'd ever done was buy.

so many people try to message you haggling the price (very dependent on the thing you're selling).

but people who are only buyers don't realize there are ebay listing fees, ebay selling fees, ebay SHIPPING fees, paypal transfer fees... and that sellers can't leave negative feedback, it's positive or nothing. It's very skewed nowadays in the buyers favor.

I was on there during those years...it was the wild wild west...but so was the rest of the internet.

Thats why its so funny dealing w/ these idiots now...they think they know what they are doing...but have no idea.
In the last few months eBay has been better about these clown ass buyers...if you sell enough, its not that hard to get the cheats thrown in the bushes.

coppin games, telling the seller the shipment never arrived, and being reimbursed

Here's a message I got from someone. Basically I'd sold a t-shirt & a pair of shorts to two people. Instead of printing & putting the labels on myself at home (running short on time) I just put them in their packages & had the guy at the USPS counter do it for me.

Well he mixed the labels up, so the buyers got each others clothing. I said I'd refund them their $, send the stuff back to me, and I'll go out of pocket to send them their correct stuff (I'm a nice guy what can I say). One guy was cool, the other was sending me 2-3 messages a day flipping out over it, he opened a case with eBay (which they dismissed), etc.

i have an email stating that you would be refunding my purchase price and sending the shorts, free of charge, due to the mixup....well i dont see how i should have to come out of pocket to ship your t shirt back to you, when i am not the slightest bit responsible for this error. at this point, my tolerance (for money of mine floating around in limbo) is spent-just dealt with/still finishing up dealing with paypal messin up 96 dollars of my money, and it is not fair. i know paypal is nothin to do w you, but this lrg short thing is....so if you're going to send me the shorts at some point then great, however there are plenty of lrg shorts on ebay, most of which will arrive on my doorstep no hassle- to me, free is not worth the frustration, the wait, the extra money temporarily out of my pocket on shipping the mistake back- unfortunately i feel i could go on for a while, which is the root of:

I would like a full refund please. once i receive it, i will send you the incorrect item back, or you can refund my purchase price, and either pay for the return postage online and email me the shipping label. or mail me a postage paid envelope to put the shirt in....please.

In 48 hours if i have not received at least the $22 purchase price, specific negative feedback will be left, and i will wash my hands of it, other than the case filed with ebay. I am sorry to speak short w you, but i have to limit the sleep i lose over this. i am not exaggerating.

alternately, if you do the right thing, you'll be added to my rapidly growing favorite sellers list. check my feedback, in detail-you will see that in the short time i have been shopping on ebay i have bought many items/spent much money.

Over a pair of shorts

It's funny though because when you do sell on ebay you of course get their full name, address, etc. so you can look them up on facebook, see what their house looks like on google maps, etc. to get an idea with the kind of person you're dealing with. this guy was a psycho.
