    First one is simple - buyer must go through return process, when received item back only then refund. Send all items tracked! Thumbs up to this guy for highlighting these scams. Please remember though that it isn't just the buyers doing the scamming! Many sellers mis-sell their items or conveniently "forget" to mention any flaws. Many sellers just put "item sold as seen (with often poor images to back this up) or "used condition". What in hell does that tell the buyer about the condition of the item!

    Thank you so much for this information!!!!! I am new to selling on eBay and my first customer was a SCAM!!! I am glad I didn't fall for the scam but it made me realize that not all buyers have good intentions. The buyer said he/she was interested in an item that I was selling, but wanted me to send the item to a different address ( not on their eBay account) and on top of that, the buyer also requested that I include a gift card of $300 and said he/she would pay me $300 for it, $50 for the shipping, and $50 for the inconvenience! so I immediately realize it was a scam! So I decided to educate myself about further potential scams and came across your video. very helpful! thank you :-). Keep making videos about this and your knowledge and experience with eBay, i am sure it helps all existing sellers and new ones.

    I just had that happen to me today. Buyer bought my item, then sent me a note asking me to call her... she had questions. I emailed her back and said you can text me on my cell phone (which luckily was a burner phone). She asked me to ship the item to her nieces house and, if I was OK with it, to purchase a $500 gift card for Amex, and she would give me $25 for shipping all of it and $49 for my inconvenience. She is my 2nd sale, so I freaked out. Talked to my hubby - and we agreed that we would tell her NO! She hasn't paid me for the product or communicated since... now what? Do I report her, wait, any advice? Help!

If the buyers tries to report you to eBay, you can share the the communication between you and the buyer with eBay. I have had numerous buyers who purchase something from me, but never pay! I even had ones who send me offers, I accept, then they ask me to cancel their transaction 🤦🏻‍♀️ many buyers have a note on the description stating that if payment is not received within 4 hours, the transaction will be cancelled. It stinks that eBay is the only platform out there that allows buyers to purchase something without paying immediately 🤦🏻‍♀️

There was a mail group for these so you could check them out ahead of time. Now the situation has reversed. And of course it's easy to create a new buyer ID if they're busted. Maybe we should only sell to people with over 100 good transactions?

    I fell victim to the item not as described scam when I was a new seller and had no feedback and to counter this, now I record myself packaging up high value items inside of my car and keep the item and box in frame the entire time while I wait in line and mail the item. I do this to have a continuous take of myself mailing the exact item and proof of shipping it. Filming inside a post office isnt technically allowed but I have figured out work arounds. Its a hassle but when I am selling cameras worth thousands of dollars I have no choice. One time I had my gf recording on her phone and the post office workers questioned me about it and I told them I needed video record to avoid scam buyers. I am wondering if you have any other ways to defeat the item not as described scam?

    Item not as described is more often a legit problem if you are a BUYER. (I have sold on Ebay some and got scammed). But, I buy frequently on Ebay and usually the item IS as described. As an estimate, I would say maybe one out of twenty purchases I make are indeed Not as Described. I decided last year to no longer be scammed on those items . I don't buy if the photo does not show a flaw as mentioned in the description. I no longer buy Chinese if I know about it as these items are usually cheap and made for pennies. I get a refund and return the item if it is not as described. I think your video makes people think ONLY sellers get scammed. BUYERS do too! Linda from Va USA

    I just started selling and I got one where they ask you to ship item + gift cards to a different address and then they pay you for all of it plus give you extra over PayPal. Seemed too good to be true so I declined and then the next day eBay emailed me to tell me that that seller had apparently been hacked. Another one that I've seen in my first week on eBay is scammers using really old accounts like 1999, that appear to be somebody's grandmother, and they buy expensive items but never confirm payment. I think they do this because they figure if they do it to 20 different people, one person will forget and ship them the item. Especially frustrating because all of us have to file a report. Scammers are absolute trash.

    I just supposedly bought a new boxed set of Doris Days movies. They skip, stop, or just turn off. I have never felt so burned in my life. They just arrived today 5/28/22. How do I get either a refund or a truly good set of these old movies ? None of these info videos fit my problem ?

    Found out recently that any digital warranty purchased for electronic items, does NOT come with ANY buyer protection. Even if the item purchased turned out to be a scammer that EBay refunded you for, at their expense. Still the secondary purchase will NEVER be refunded. (squaretrade)

    We are new at selling on Ebay and have had several bad experiences right at the gate. Buyers that don't pay. Then we have had 2 buyers ask us to call the phone number they have provided. This is how we have responded to to this request. We send them a message saying that we only communicate through Ebay. Then we do not hear back from them. We were pretty sure that this was some kind of scam. But was wondering what kind of scam was this. What would have happened if we would have called the number? Just curious. This is all so new and confusing.

    One seller scam that wasn't listed is the seller listing a picture of an item that sells on Amazon and stating that it is a higher quality item . Once you send them a higher amount than you would have paid on Amazon they order it and have it shipped to you . This happened to me . I even listed in my note to the seller that I didn't mind paying more for the higher quality and made in the USA . The item I received was in an Amazon shipping box and inside was another box from China .

    My first item sold was a scam. The buyer offered twice the amount and I accepted. Nothing happened from there because eBay interceded and took my listing off. I was instructed to not communicate with the buyer, etc. I didn’t receive payment nor did I lose money. I’m not sure what the scammer was planning.

    I got taken for a pair of $250 J's. He said they were not as described. I had 11 pictures. Even found his IG account and he was WEARING them. He returned the box with tape all over it, the shoes were trashed and had numerous scuffs. eBay/PayPal sided with him and refunded him. I'm in the middle of an "unauthorized purchase" but with eBay's new authentication process means the shipping takes much longer. I only have 5 days to show proof of delivery or the refund will be issued. Literally nothing I can do but wait. Seller protection is trash.

    Thank you so much Samson. I am a new seller on eBay and I’m being really frustrated. I get messages from buyers who pretend they have a question and ask me to text a phone number. While I’m happy having an offer on my items, I responded by texting the number and asking what their question was , only for them to say they are service men and were interested in buying the item for their sisters or cousins and asking me to help them buy a gift card to send with the items, offering to pay me the cost of the items, plus $400 for the gift card and extra $50 for my trouble. I knew right away that these were fraudsters. I called the eBay customer service and was told to send the message to eBay but that hasn’t stopped it. They keep sending me the same message in different forms and I’m really frustrated. What can I do to stop this?

Seems these days, more people are trying to get items for free by doing these scams such as claiming it was wrong item, etc. I am not counting out there are probably bad sellers also. I will buy from Ebay from time to time on just certain un-expensive items and have had good luck over the years with what I have bought. Thanks for the videos.

    I noticed there's a scam bad sellers use, if you leave negative feedback after never receiving your purchase they ask you to remove it in return for your refund(holding it hostage essentially) but if you hold your ground they'll use a fake tracking number to show your item delivered then they ask ebay to remove the negative feedback. If a seller has only a handful of positive feedback and absolutely no negative feedback...huge red flag, IMO.

    Scammers are tricky, sneaky, they like to confuse and are everywhere, one as an individual can take many precautions but at the end of the day when you make a payment or a deposit to a complete stranger there is always the fear that something will go wrong, even if you do it on some platform that offers a buyer protection program, it is not a guarantee that you will not be scammed nor does it guarantee that you can get a refund. What you need is an intermediary, someone who takes care of the money and is in charge of giving flow to the transaction and will not release it until you are satisfied, it would be the same as a seller, as long as you do your part correctly you can be sure that the intermediary will give you your money, no matter the buyer says. I dont mean to promote or advertise anything, I just wanted to tell that I am currently working on a proyect that is conceived with the sole purpose of ending scams once and for all. I won't share any link here because as I say this is just a mere comment, not advertise, but you can find our project on facebook by searching ''We agree App'', from there you can see more information. Thanks for your attention, have a nice day.
