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

No matter what wording the seller puts in his ad, Ebay's TOS will supersede it, won't it? example: if I put "no returns, exchanges, refunds, blah, blah" in an ad for computer scrap and state that it is "untested, for scrap gold recovery" and the buyer wants to send it back, scam or remorse, won't ebay force me to refund, or do it themselves?

For the most part YES >> There is no such thing as "NO REFUNDS" when you sell on eBay

No one will care how many pictures/video's you take of your packaging process
Bottom line >> What is to stop you from stopping the filming right before you place the label on the box and swap out with an identical box that is filled with junk?
There will be no "drawn out battle" >> eBay will take the Buyers word

The only Buyer Rating is their Feed Back >> Which is a waste of time since the ONLY kind of Feed Back a Buyer ID can receive is POSITIVE
