    I sold a folder of Pokémon cards and the buyer requested a refund, saying they weren’t as described. I asked them to send me pictures of complaint, and they sent me pictures of fake cards. I declined refund and they put in a dispute with eBay, where they got a full refund. I sent in pictures of my original listing and the pictures the customer sent, and eBay dismissed my complaint. I drove 3 hours to knock on the door of the customer and asked them to return my original cards. The look of terror in his eyes was worth the drive, but I got my cards back.

    I just got my first negative review yesterday from someone who CANCELLED her order! She never received it because I didn't ship it. She wanted a refund and complained that I am nonresponsive. I contacted eBay and they removed it right away. This can really hurt someone's business. Why would a person make up something like that??? Needless to say, she is blocked from buying from me in the future. I'm glad eBay acted fast on this one.

    I have been scammed as both a buyer and a seller on eBay. I have received an empty envelope on an expensive vintage game purchase - lost $200 and Santa didn't fill that request. As a seller I learned quickly not to sell outside of North America because tracking is too unreliable. The "item not received" complaint was always items overseas.

    Used to work for a company that sold vintage car parts. My manager got a return of an item that we don't even sell and eBay again sided the buyer. I died laughing when I heard him say to the eBay rep that if they didn't care what gets returned then he just found a way to get rid of his baby daughter's dirty diapers and get free items from them. Of course he would never but it did get the rep aware of what he was talking about and gave him the money back. Have to add it only happened once in my 15 years there. Always enjoyed my manager's sick sense of humor.

    I like using the lock mechanism on the sold filter on eBay but I don’t use it all the time because I do want to see how many are listed too. The thing I wish they would change is just move Sold and Completed all the way up at the top of the filter list. It’s aggravating to have to scroll almost all the way at the bottom constantly. I haven’t been scammed and not going to say yet because I don’t want to put that out in the universe lol. My Go 2 Tape 😊

    When I first started, I sold a sleeping bag, new with tags. It showed the date arrived (it was a Friday) On the following Monday, they reported it as INAD. According to them, it had a stain on the inside and twigs were found inside it. I asked them to return it, which they did at my cost, of course, no stains were found anywhere, and certainly no twigs. I sent eBay several emails and pictures of where the stain was supposed to be. The rep I spoke with agreed with me, and a week later that account holder was no longer to be found. When I called to enquire, the rep told me the account was now closed. I still wonder if they jumped or were they pushed!

    I do not do International. I use to but learned my lesson the hard way and never again. I've lost around $400 this yr from scammers. Ebay did nothing. Their suggestion was to report the people. I've been on ebay 24 yrs this coming March currently with over 800 listings. Plan on dwindling down under 100 and getting out of my store. Tired of high fees, ebays continual support of buyers, ever increasing postal prices and high cost of supplies. I do better local.....no fees...no feedback....no packaging....no dealing with the USPS and ebays never ending new rules all in favor of the buyer. Just my 2 cents.

    I had someone request a refund and he provided just a black image and said the item was broken and that I knew it was broken. I apologized told him to please send me photos of the item. He said he already did and then didn’t respond again (I don’t accept returns) I talked to eBay and they told me to accept the return and send a label. I received the item back and it was obvious that he had purposely damaged the item when I didn’t issue a refund and requested a return. I contacted eBay and told them what had happened and they issued him a refund and issued me the sale price. eBay made it right by me but also all of the feedback that he has given has been item is damaged (which he also left for me) which leads me to believe that he does this hoping people will just issue a refund and not request the item back.

    Thanks for sharing. MY GO TO TAPE! :) I recently bought a phone battery advertised as NEW. Received it, and noticed it obviously wasn't new. I wanted to buy a new battery for a new phone I wanted to sell. I couldn't sell it with this messed up battery. The sellers insisted on contacting them outside of ebay via personal email. Well no wonder, they illegally used first class postage (63 cents) to mail me the battery. When I went to post office to return it, they literally laughed at me because a phone battery has to be mailed ground delivery as a package, NOT first class envelope because lithium batteries can cause FIRE on the AIRPLANE! I've never by-passed ebay protocol, and this cost me. I'm afraid to leave a negative review for fear of retaliation - especially after I called them out on it. Lesson learned.

My Mom loved that place and was quite upset the day we drove out there from my childhood home in Fullerton only to find it had closed. That was no small trek as my Mom did not drive the freeways. Grandma always called it a Smorgasbord as my Grandfather was from Denmark. We also made a yearly trip to Solvang. I'd love to try the new Go To Tape from American Bubble boy.

We have sold a few $200 items but nothing more than that. Most of our items range from the $8 to $50 range. We sell a lot of preowned watches and costume jewelry that we buy in mystery lots , knickknacks , craft supplies and miscellaneous items. My husband now has his own eBay account to sell on, I also sell a Mecari and Etsy I have been on Etsy since 2008 and Mecari for a couple years .
    Next year we will be full-time when he retires and will continue doing things the way we are now. Except going full-time instead of very part time.

    Our worst eBay loss was shipping not one, but two hobby helicopters to Australia. They claimed they received "toys" and eBay refunded them without even requiring they ship them back. We appealed until we finally gave up. We lost $1200.00. This was in the early days of eBay and we just quit shipping overseas until they came out with the Global Shipping Program. We once sent out a $900.00 radio control radio that they said didn't work. They sent us back an antique remote not worth a penny. We went through all the appeals processes and finally received our money back. We've shipped over 250K items on eBay so these two isolated incidents are a drop in the bucket. You learn and move on.

Trying to get back more money

    Loved listening to the radio, including shortwave, when I was a kid. Eventually, that interest led to a 25 year career in commercial radio in several cities, including Cincinnati and Boston. When I saw the Sylvania transistor radio, I had to do a little research on it. It wasn't the very first transistor radio ever made. It was Sylvania's first one, and it's relatively rare. As for the $175.00 you got for it, I found a few in good shape online that fetched north of $400.00 but those sales were not on eBay. Well spotted purchase by your dad, though. I wish I'd found it. I probably would have kept it! 😉

    My son send a $1500 golf putter to Las Vegas from Australia. The guy kept saying he didn't received it. He opened up a claim for a refund. My son hasn't got many sales under his belt. Lucky I used my auspost business account and paid for the insurance which is pretty pricey. In the end I talk to Australia Post and they said that he's parcel was sitting at his post office waiting be able to pick it up. I don't know if he didn't know is it the post office. Son told him to go and ask at post office twice. He kept saying it wasn't there. In the end my son said that it's definitely sitting at such and such post office and we never heard anything after that. I don't know if the guy was waiting to get a refund and then go pick up the putter. Cheers Graham

    I sold a really nice & really expensive JL AUDIO Amp, I had hooked it up the day before I posted it for sale, buyer gets it, burns it up, admitted they did, then they took it to the stereo shop just to have them tell them that it was burnt up, I asked why they didn't take it to the stereo shop and have them do the install, but they open a case, so I told them to send it back to me, they claimed to ship it to an old address, on my dime, but I never got it, so I lost my jl Amp the $ for it, the shipping to the buyer and back even though I never got it back, and ebay sided with the buyer, I was not happy! I quit selling on there for a while... But they've protected me a few times in 2023!

    For years, I sold antique barbells and appliance parts and never had a scammer from those sales. Specialized/obscure hobbies seem to have more serious/mature buyers. Like a vintage radio enthusiast is much less likely to play games than someone buying an iPhone.

    My wife always comments that it seems like I’m wasting my time when I tell her I made $2 profit on a small, but what I point out to her is the fact that I may have paid only a $1 for that item, which nets me a 100% return. If all my investments netted me a 100% return, we would be Millionaires.

    Its getting higher this year I had to fight over 3 items in past 60 days with fraud attempts. Mostly trying to file return and asking me to just refund all money if not they will leave negative feedback. So they leave negative feedback ebay has to remove it because goes under extortion and they never mail the item back in time. I know people fall for this and eBay doesnt ban these people.

    I went through the exact same thing several years ago, somehow, I realized it in just a couple of days. So, I called the post office where it was being delivered. The person was already under investigation by the postmaster general. They intercepted it and returned it to me. And sent me an affidavit to sign to assist in their investigation. It was a 900. sale on a phone.

    If you sell an item and use global shipping, once it arrives in KY at the center, you are no longer responsible for the item correct? The seller of the phone, must have shipped on their own? Always ship through the global center!

    I have had one person that has bought from me over 50 times all under different usernames but all going to the same address and same person. I have called eBay and nothing was done about it so I went to the post office and they investigated it and said the person is getting thousands of packages a day. I am assuming they did something about it because now he tried it again and is trying to ship the stuff to another address down the street from where he was before.

    i sold a item that was heavy stainless steel pan, they did a return request it was damage in shipping with a dent on the side. so i said return it and are refund you, they said ok but sent a msg at the same time that they could not send it, so i waited for it to come. a day (12 hours) before they could get eBay to step in, tracking come on it and check it nothing on it, good thing i was keep a eye on it because nothing said it was there, i phone up eBay the next day and told them what was going on and they sided with me and they did ask eBay to step in but eBay said on the report i phone and that tracking had no info on it and even said the photo they upload was not right, i look at it on my pc and yes the floor behind it was pulled a bit, they were label a scammer and the account was banned.
    this is one long scam but it so they get the item and money at the same time. just think if they did this one 20 accounts it adds up

    My go-to tape is okay. Some of the cardboard cores are soft and so when you go to stretch the tape you end up creating an oval from the cardboard core and then you have to take the tape off your tape dispenser and reshape it back to a circle before you can use it again.

I've been watching you and a handful of others for several months and really appreciate the information you share. This is the first time I heard you were raised in Yucaipa. I'm in San Bernardino and it's fun to hear you reference the things out in this area. Boy would it be great to be in Tennessee rather than here, lol, but I won't move that far from my grandkids at this point in my life. Anyway, thanks for all you do and kudos to you for how you are including your family and raising your children. It's really refreshing to see.
