Classic click-bait scam. eBay isn’t great, but they are good. They also have Authentication for shoes like this. If you didn’t skate that, it would have been verified, shipped and done.
This is either fake or you tried to scam and skip a step.
eBay is truly horrendous. They always side with buyers— even if they’re wrong. It’s what terrifies me to sell on eBay again. Had a very discouraging instance before.
Guys I’m thinking of buying a Pokémon collection off eBay, should I? I’m worried the cards would be fake, and if they are, how easy would it be to return them?
How are these people not banned? My account got banned after connecting my Payoneer account. And then my Payoneer got banned. Couldn’t dispute either ban. So no more ebay for me 😢. Although I realized that stuff on there now cost about 2-3 time more than buying the products locally where I’m at and the stuff on ebay is like the base model in shitty condition 😅
This is why I just sell in person on offer up. so that the buyer sees the item in person, many scams on eBay and mercari, charge backs, fraudulent returns, just so many crazy stuff!
I got burned for a vintage guitar the buyer disaqmbled the guitar and was selling it in pieces on "Reverb" the buyer Henry Betz Brown aka "The Bonfires" is a scammer on ebay and Reverb= I sent screenshots of my guitar being sold Ebaty refunded him anyways! I filled a report to the California Attorney General office! Ebay helps the fraudsters I closed down my shop! Buyer sent me back a wortless fake Fender guitar
For some of you who attend eBay’s big whoopteedoo get together each year, do any of you address why ebay does not better protect Sellers from frauds & scams?
Yeah in the middle of that right now, as soon as the item said delivered tracking buyer was messaging me demanding a refund claiming it’s broken. I politely messaged them requesting they open a case through eBay and return it to me and send pictures of the damages claiming. Needless to say she hasn’t sent pictures yet and opened the case under not received like sis if you wanted to scam me should have at least checked that the tracking isn’t already saying received 😹 she tried tho scamming cute try rookie. Can’t stand em.
As a buyer I have been scammed by sellers multiple times. The description is right in the listing. A woman’s size large dress is not the same as a child’s large. The word woman was in the description she didn’t want to take it back. eBay made them take it back even with no returns from the seller. Con’s go both ways that’s why eBay guarantees for all purchases. Take it up with eBay.
Ebay is loaded with nefarious sellers and scams. I’ve reported many yet more often than not ebay allows it. Counterfeit money/bullion is big on the platform. It’s quite obvious to me but too many fall for it.
had this tried on me a few times. mostly with glass items. all I ask for is a picture of the item broken. They refuse. I refuse a refund. Ebay steps in, refunds them and makes the seller wait, and wait, and wait.
Ebay charges us alot in fees, but WHERE IS THE SELLER PROTECTION? How can they make that decision overriding you? Sick of sellers getting ripped off. I would file mail fraud. I will NEVER do free returns! Name the buyer so we can block.
I had been selling on eBay for over 20 years with a 100% positive feedback but quit due to being scammed too many times and eBay doing absolutely nothing about it, even with police file numbers and records of messages and other evidence. EBay should be shut down for supporting criminal activity
There are SELLER SCAMS too. One popular one is the Seller "buys" postage for an item you bought and then NEVER SHIPS. Ebay marks the Seller down as having completed the transaction while the Buyer never receives the item. Ebay needs to see that the Seller has actually taken the item to the post office, not only look at whether the Seller has purchased a stamp. Takes time and effort to get this sorted out. It’s just not worth it. Never, EVER, make a purchase before checking NEGATIVE FEEDBACK on a Seller. POSITIVE FEEDBACK means nothing. You need to look at a Seller’s NEGATIVE FEEDBACK to see if there any RED FLAGS.
This is why I sell on Poshmark. Seller protection from scams.
That’s when I take a shit in a box and spoon some expired yogurt on top of it and sit it in the sun for a few days before mailing it to them
Ebay doesn’t give a damn about sellers.
Have a police officer watch you open the box to verify it’s what you sold to begin with
Some ppl have a serious worn shoe / feet smell fetish (not me!). You can resell those at a premium price if you find the right person.

As long as the thief knows eBay has his/her back, this is a profitable gig for them and eBay is their co-conspirator because they know it too.
Would no returns solve this issue?
So what’s the fix?
state you do not accept returns unless item not delivered as described
got scammed on a $800 item, ebay/paypal buyer protection did nothing to help

seller beware. ONLY way for any change is for sellers to leave ebay. but that will never happen, so… get used to it.
You have the address…..🔥🔥🔥🔥

eBay should obviously pay for this since they allowed the return to go without a photo.
I’d always look for the star rating first make sure they are legit
Crazy
This hasn’t happened to me, I haven’t even sold on EBAY but dam, I feel just as angry hearing this as this guy must be.This is so evil
When "Flea Bay" first started it protected the seller from this, not any more.
This is a criminal offence, take action
But they hold your funds until delivery…this is why I’m glad they banned me ngl

Black

Don’t sell 2 blacks.
Bought a pair of shoes off Ebay. Opened package,took quick look,looked ok. 6 months later had need to wear shoes,both where for left foot. wth

Man, the whole world is just scams everywhere.
I hope you got your money back
It happened to me when I sold an air fryer and they sent me a different brand I got my money back

Class action lawsuit needed against ebay
eBay has really been sucking ass for sellers lately. I’m now in the hole? Anyone have experience making another account?
Thats fraud not a scam
There is a word we used to use alot to describe these types
Ebay is loaded with nefarious sellers and scams. I’ve reported many yet more often than not ebay allows it. Counterfeit money/bullion is big on the platform. It’s quite obvious to me but too many fall for it.
Thats why I stopped using ebay. Scam sellers swamped it.
had this tried on me a few times. mostly with glass items. all I ask for is a picture of the item broken. They refuse. I refuse a refund. Ebay steps in, refunds them and makes the seller wait, and wait, and wait.
people need to expose these buyers USER NAMES so we can BLOCK them from bidding/purchasing.
Looks like identical shoes to me😂

Humans, no other words are necessary.
You need to post his information all over the internet. THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY 😡😡😡
Thats why I have a "no return policy" making sure all the details are there so theres no doubt and packaging is perfect
I know many dealers who refuse to sell on eBay and this is only one of the many reasons.
