    Sorry to hear it man that sucks. Not an internet story but I got screwed out of $1300 dealing with a brick and mortar gun store. I wanted a rifle that they don’t stock but said they could order, I paid up front. I then hear they are going out of business. I drive to the store to get my money back but the owner tells me they filed bankruptcy. So there is no money and I find out they never placed my order. I was so mad I was physically sick. I did not have a high paying job at that time and it had taken me a long time to save that money up. I feel for you man.

    It’s risky to sell high value items, as I recently learned. I sold one of our old iPhones in October. Then about 4 months later I started getting emails from PayPal, which looked sketchy, informing me that the buyer wanted a refund because the item was defective/not as described. I ignored them since I saw no messages on PayPal or eBay about this issue. Eventually I received an email telling me that the case was closed and ruled in favor of the buyer, which I still ignored. Well, today I found out I have a negative balance and since the case is closed they won’t let me do anything about it. 😡 I’m done with eBay for now. It’s just not worth it.

    2:32 your first time selling on eBay and you chose to sell an expensive item. You essentially put a target on your forehead. Scammers absolutely love inexperienced sellers who are selling expensive items. They figure a new seller doesn't know enough eBay rules to spot a scammer and they take full advantage. Why? Because they are scammers. That's what they do for a living.

I've bought and sold on eBay since it began and it is very safe if you watch your P's and Q's.

Then you have to refund the buyer if he/she open a case "item not received" even if he get the item but you can't proof it! It happened to me couple of times but there are still good people around the world and same case happened to me again i ship something buyer open a case i refund him back the money and after 2 months the buyer message me that he finaly receive the item and he wanted to know how he will pay me!

    Ugh! That sucks! So sorry that happened to you! I’m a new seller on eBay and I have to say the fortunate thing is that the only “scams” I’ve encountered so far is when a “buyer” makes me the offer, I accept and then they leave me hanging there with no payment. It ties up my item for 4 days until I can cancel due to non payment of the buyer but at least I keep my item. Always keep all communication thru eBay only so you have a paper trail. And also, I almost got scammed when the buyer suddenly changed their shipping address - they paid $25 for the shipping on eBay but then wanted it shipped to another address 2,000 miles away (which ended up costing $94 to ship). Fortunately, I canceled the order first and told him to repurchase under the new address that he wanted the item to go to. You can’t be too careful!

I posted my item as buy now and I got bids from people offer me more. This guy was like he had more questions about the item and wanted me to text him. So I texted him and answer his or her questions. Then he requested that I send my pay-pal info, and when I redirected him back to the site. I got other bids and they were requesting for me to text them because they had more questions. I then called Ebay and ask was this normal. They informed that it was not. What was crazy all the users that was requesting more info was new accounts that was set up that day. They almost had me too....so this was helpful.

    The scammers I've run into are vintage/high end clothing resellers. I sold one guy a beautiful, pristine Pendleton shirt (retail $140). He got a really good deal at $30. He sent a complaint that it was "full of holes". I knew it wasn't, as I take LOTS of pics and don't use them all in the ad. He sent a magnified photo of the inside shoulder/sleeve seam where he had picked out one single thread, no holes, it was ridiculous. I had taken pics of the inside of the shirt, the same area so I sent him that pic. I told him to send the shirt back and I would give him a full refund. He got angry, "I love this shirt! I don't want to give it back!" but he wanted me to give him a "partial refund" of $20. I told him no, and quit communicating with him. I looked at his feedback, and his store. He sells vintage clothes, but for ridiculously high prices. He rarely sells anything, but when he does, it's overpriced. His feedback was full of sellers he had scammed with this "partial refund" crap, who found he was flipping their items he claimed were damaged and unusable. He didn't get me, and since I offered a full refund eBay wasn't going to force me to give him any kind of refund. I'll never give a partial refund, unless I made a mistake. It's become a very common scam.

    Just got another scam with purchasing a vehicle. The "seller" advertised on Facebook marketplace but wanted to get my address and full name to send me the vehicle using Ebay. I really wonder who would be coming to my door! I told him that I would go to the location to look at the vehicle and he said no, Ebay was handling the shipping and payment. I then asked for his Ebay account so I could see ratings and make sure he actually has an Ebay account. He didn't email me back as obviously he didn't have the vehicle and is just collecting money from people who respond as well as emails and addresses. If it's too good to be true than it probably isn't true. Always remember that!

    I just saw a vehicle of Facebook marketplace and the seller told me that she is in Illinois and she has a contract w/ebay. Ebay sent me an email saying to go to 7/11 and get 5 ebay cards and put $200 on each for a deposit of $1,000 and after I do that the seller said that she would have the vehicle sent to me within 3 days. Do you think that this is a scam?

    If you guys ship a package and figure out it's a scam, you can retrieve the package before delivery. Also, most of these scammers have you ship the item to a forwarding shipping company that ships the item to the scammer outside of the country, so if you google the address, you can find out the name of the forwarding company and call them to not ship to the scammer. If the scam occurred through paypal, you should also seek compensation from paypal.

    Not true. The scammer lured the victim into an outside of ebay transaction. How would ebay side with scammer when they have no record of the scam? In order to side with the scammer, the entire transaction would have to be done on ebay not just listing the item. You think a scammer who creates a fake paypal website will be communicating with eBay? Of course not so how would ebay take their word of a seller?

    You should also file a police report in the state where you shipped the item. They will go out to the house and investigate because it is a crime. Do you have the serial number to teh camera. If so, You can also have your camera entered as stolen. Look on Ebay, Offer Up, and other selling platforms and see if your camera is listed for sale. You can then contact the police and hopefully get your camera back. Good luck
