    Thankfully I haven’t had major refunding issues through eBay. As a seller I absolutely hate the thought of someone being dissatisfied with a purchase that I going above and beyond trying to make it right. And as a buyer I would 100% send that money right back. You’ll definitely go further in life by doing the right thing.

  • @Jmillz181
    @Jmillz181 4 дня назад +29

    100% only use the global shipping program. Once it gets to ebay, they handle all this and you are never out any money even if there is a case.

    You did everything wrong. Once there is an eBay case opened, you don't need to do anything. Do not engage further with the buyer, and let ebay handle it.

    You are FAR too trusting Bry! This had all the signs of a scam. Ebay tried to protect you by keeping you from issuing a refund.

    I’ve used eBay for over 20 years. I’ve only had about 5 really bad experiences, most with statues and 3 of them have been recent. eBay always sides with the buyer but with that said there’s a lot of good buyers and sellers out there.

    Great content, Bry - really useful and educative regarding how to go about issuing refunds when using ebay. My two main takeaways are that everyone needs to use the Burrito Model when describing profit and loss, and that you're bringing your boy up with a superb moral compass! Integrity is indeed everything, and it means that those with whom you deal will always be able to trust you.

    I learn a lot from experienced sellers like you. As a novice ebay seller, I’ve already learned not to conduct business or communicate outside of the original platform that I am selling. I don’t have a separate website so it’s easier to avoid such mistakes. In the short time that I have been selling on eBay, I’ve already received communications: first to communicate directly outside of eBay and then to buy items using methods outside of eBay like Venmo using the excuses like, “to avoid taxes”.

    As a long time seller of vinyl records on eBay, you definitely made some mistakes but the good news is you learned something along the way. I ship a lot of classical records to China, it's a headache almost every time. There's also still hope you get the eBay 2nd refund back. You need to demand to talk to someone, and when you do finally hear a human voice on the phone, explain what happened and then immediately ask to talk to their supervisor. They (the higher-ups) have the power to make you whole, you just gotta actually speak to the right person. $300 is $300, it's worth the effort for the call.

It would not be worth it to me to go through all the steps and time and effort that you did - but when you have a community of thousands that will learn from it... very much worth it. Thanks again. And let us know cert number or if there's a way we can actively avoid buying products know to be involved in scams. Best wishes.

    I had a similar situation happen to me with a buyer in Italy saying he never received the book. I don’t what it was, but when I sent it out, my gut said to spend the extra few bucks and get the insurance so I did. Fast forward a few weeks and supposedly the package was “lost.” eBay gave the seller the refund but got my money back through the insurance. The universe was on my side on that one.

I know you always sell for great prices for your customers, and every book that I looked up is below the last sale price on GPA, which is awesome! Can you double check your price on ASM 73 please? I am new to looking up prices, and I may be doing it wrong; Thank you for your time! 🤗

  • @gtkeycomic

    Hello Bryan. I sell on Ebay as well. I have encountered similar situations. I do not understand. The item clearly showed tracking/shipping status. There was no need to send him a refund outside of the Ebay system. Correct me if I am wrong. If you had immediately contacted Ebay, they would have seen the shipping progress, and issued the buyer a refund at no cost to you. Am I wrong? I went through two almost identical situations. One with a chinese customer, one with a buyer fron Mexico. Both times, Ebay saw shipping progress/proof, and they said they would take care of the refund from their end. Both times, they told me that Ebay will issue the refund. No cost to me the seller. The shipping tracking progress was in essence the seller insurance. The book eventually arrived to the Chinese customer, but never arrived to the Mexico destination. I was still issued my funds for both sales by Ebay. Ebay refunded both buyers.

    This is all very odd. I recently had an international buyer make an eBay purchase. The book
    Was held up in shipping for unduly long; however, the process of working with buyer went down a completely different direction. Because eBay manages the international shipping I was off the hook. If the book never arrived that was on eBay. The buyer opened a case. I spoke with eBay and we waited. Eventually, the book was delivered. I guess the moral of the story is when using eBay, ship through eBay?

  • @TempleoftheDarkPartsoftheMind
    @TempleoftheDarkPartsoftheMind 4 дня назад

    I haven't sold anything on eBay in a very long time but even in the early days I had to stop shipping internationally because of scams like this. It can happen locally but you have some better tracking and law enforcement options if there are shenanigans afoot. In all likelihood the guy received the book but didn't want to pay for it and then got pushy to see if he could get a bonus. I had someone try a scam like this in another state. I had them deal with the USPS since I proactively paid for the insurance on the item when they opted out of it. They came across just as pushy and demanding same as the guy in your messages until I told them to make a claim with USPS. This was the early days of eBay and I know they've changed a lot of their policies in regard to complaints and refunds.

  • @coolworldpopculture
    @coolworldpopculture 4 дня назад

    Once an item is in the possession of the carrier my obligation is over. I cannot control anything once it leaves my hands and I won't be liable for what happens next. If there's tracking then the carrier has it. If it was shipped to the address they provided then that's on them whether it's delivered incorrectly or pinched at their door. I insure everything and if it's damaged in shipping I tell them how to file a claim. I will go out of my way to be helpful but I'm not refunding anyone unless the problem is a direct result of what I did or failed to do. Refunding to "make things right" is admirable but 99% of the time it's always a scam. I would have recommended that you simply apologize for the delay but it's out of your control and then encourage them to open a case (which it seems they did). After that, leave it to eBay to resolve. In this scenario eBay would probably told the buyer to wait and cleared you from responsibility and then would have managed it from there. Sometimes eBay can be helpful. But, yes, ignore the urge to jump out and make things right. That will generally be a bad turnout for you no matter what the situation. Sorry you dealt with this. Welcome to my world.

  • @popsequentialism7213

    Damn, dude. Now I am craving a burrito... one thing to consider is that the buyer thought you were trying to scam him, because overpayment and refund scams are among the most common online scams. Especially considering that this was the first time he was buying from you and he didn't actually receive his purchase. Add to that a language barrier and picture that scenario from his point of view and I can totally see a misunderstanding.
