All Ebay Sellers Be Aware of a new Scam that will leave you high and dry!

**miked** · 02-20-2016, 08:47 AM

I want to add to the "what is the point?". The point of the "buyer" damaging and sending back the damaged item is to substantiate his claim and comply with ebay rules. He is using ebay policies to scam sellers out of their product. By complying with ebay policy of returning this item keeps him and his account in good standing. He needs to keep it in good standing in order to continue his scams.

On the videoing of the packaging process, how much memory does it take up? I've not done any videoing so I am not familiar with the storage requirements.

Is there any reason to believe that any ebay representative would take the time to view your video? One of my main complaints about ebay is you don't get to continue with a single ebay rep though out an investigation.

Thanks for the thread, Mike

To bad you got scamed Sledge, I never sold computer's on EPay but I used to sale bicycle's and part's on there which I know longer due because of the same problem you had DAMAGE, MISSING PART'S?? After bike and or part's returned they were missing part's are was not what I shipped and I lost out, NO recourse. I only sell my ram and rivet's on EPay right now which I'm about to stop as I have a claim now about a box of rivet's I sold. My rivet's are 3/16 large flange rivet's for stock car driver's to hold there body panel's on, I sell them in bag's of 100, 200 and 500. My great grand kid's age's 5 and 6 count these rivet's and bag them for me, and I do pay them to do this. I sold a box of 500 rivet's to a buyer and he said he was short 1 rivet, now he want's his monies back, 1 rivet, LOSER
