    I agree they should absolutely be looking at the buyer more. I had one the other day that I reported to EBay and EBay kept saying I had reported buyer multiple times , I said no I have not. He is a first time buyer. She put me on hold to look into it. Came back and apologized,he has been reported 48 times but by different sellers.iI was told they would look into it. I blocked the buyer but could not believe that after 48 complaints he hasn’t been banned because I would bet if it was seller they would be banned for life.

      Recently had a buyer make a false item not as described case and open a return. So after forcing me to pay for return shipping, they send the package but then put a stop shipment on it before it gets to me. I warn ebay that I suspect a fraud is taking place, and the ebay rep on the phone agrees with me and makes notes detailing the suspicious activity, but a few hours later I get a massage saying the buyer had asked ebay to step in and resolve the return case, and that ebay has decided to refund the buyer due to the item being successfully returned to me. I of course appeal this decision, talking to an ebay rep on the phone and detailing exactly how they committed their scam and showing the return tracking details as clear evidence that the item was never delivered back to me. The ebay rep submits my appeal for me and assures me that the original decision was clearly a mistake and that this appeal will most certainly solve the issue. 2 Hours later I get a message from a different ebay rep saying " I have reviewed your appeal, and while I understand it can be frustrating that you believe the item was not defective, since your item was successfully returned to you, we have decided to uphold the original decision and side with the buyer. This decision is final and you may not appeal it further."
      So the scammer buyer not only gets my $500 item, but they convince ebay to pull the $500 payment from my account and deliver it back to them on a silver platter, all because two separate ebay employees couldn't be bothered to read more than 2 sentences of my detailed and thorough messages informing them of the scam, or even to check the attached tracking information clearly showing the item was never returned to me, before they both side with the buyer like brain-dead zombies and inform me that i have no further recourse. At least the last ebay rep had the courtesy to tell me she's sorry that I feel frustrated for being wrong about the buyer who they knew was actually right all along.
      After going through this horrible experience, I now preface every message I send to Ebay customer service with "Please take care to read this message in full from start to finish before replying or taking an action related to it. Thank you in advance ."

    I had a very similar thing happen to me on eBay as well. Extremely abusive / inappropriate messages from the buyer. Also claimed I was selling other items from underneath them 🤷🏼‍♂️ - I had the items stopped in transit and re-routed back to me. Contacted eBay, showed them all the messages and they sided in my favor. They make up an extremely small minority of buyers, but take up a large amount of sellers time. Keep up the vids! You got me started on eBay :)

      Right. If you have a high quality listing with a good description and not the cheapest price with offers open the interloper scammers will always just give the worst lowballs.. Thanks for showing your cards.. Automatic Ban. You can tell if its a new buyer into their category after a while so I wont ban the new buyers that have questions about how its packaged. Those buyers are the most work at first but they always come back after they get their item.

    When I sell an item that is more money than I’m comfortable losing I always call the buyer and say the following:
    “Hello, this is Mitch. You purchased the (item) from me on eBay. With all the fraud going on I just wanted to make sure you actually ordered it and no one hijacked your account or credit card”.
    This gives me the opportunity to get a feel for the buyer and also lets the buyer know that I am able to reach him. Only once did I have the feeling something was off and in that case I cancelled the sale. Every other time the buyer thanked me for going the extra mile to protect his account and since I sell a lot of collectibles, I’ve often had a nice conversation about the item and collecting in general.

    I think it's the same buyer who targets other resellers on youtube. The same kind of wording. If it's the same one, he'll return you a box full of disgusting trash. If you block him, he will create another account from the same address and buy from you again. You absolutely must report him.

    That buyer's message sounds almost identical to the one that Wick got on his Flipping Junk channel, and that buyer was from Chicago as well and did the political rant, etc. She then sent him literal garbage twice. Look at his videos "eBay buyer returned a hate package and eBay refunded the scammer" and the follow-up to it, which is "eBay buyer scammed me and returns used underwear and rotting food instead of item sold...again." She had a different user name the second time.

    Whenever I have a buyer that asks too many questions or precarious questions I block them. In my experience buyers like that have only led to unrealistic expectations like paying for used but literally expecting new and ridiculous returns. I provide a high degree of customer service for realistic buyers and I simply don't have time for people like that.

    Wow, I’m sorry that happened to you! I recently had to block a buyer that would not stop messaging me. They bought an original Xbox system from me that was in excellent condition. I had pictures of it working and everything. This buyer then messages me saying “It has a crack in it. I want a refund.” Then, they accused me of sending a cracked console. I told them to open a return request and that I would be glad to refund them once I received it back. They ignored my return suggestions and said it worked (they still wanted to keep it), but continued with the refund demands. I kid you not, they demanded a refund probably 10-15 times! I even refunded them $10 to cover most of the shipping, but they ignored it and still demanded a full refund. I had to call eBay 4 times (no kidding!) in a span of 4 days because this buyer would not stop messaging me. I could not reason at all with this individual and felt like a broken record repeating the same things over and over. Ebay told me that I could stop responding and that I could block them and thankfully I was finally able to. Haven’t heard a peep for over a week. People can be crazy!

    So strange! I had almost the same thing happen to me. I sold an item on Jan, 8th and shipped on Jan. 8th. I also have two day shipping. Customer opened a case on me Jan 10th with their credit card bank that item was never received. Tracking shows that on the 10th the package was in Brooklyn where is was suppose to be, just not delivered yet. Customer opened case in less than 48 hours (remind you, two day shipping). I hope that Ebay backs the seller and not the buyer trying to scam.

    I got one of those buyers in Michigan, he complain first because it had not arrived before Christmas, which he had just purchased the item on the 30th of November, which still is cutting it close as far as it going through shipping and getting there on time. He complained because he was held up in his state at one of the post office for two weeks. He filed a refund through ebay but complained because ebay wouldn't do anything because it was held up in shipping, he then got his bank involved. I got the post office to return the item. He got his money back, I got the item to resell. he was not getting both, like he wanted.

  • @nannettemustillo5408

    Years ago, I had a buyer who was abusive and threatening. It took almost a month of Ebay and I going back and forth about it. Buyer eventually was suspended for a few months. She tried again when she got back, Ebay warned her she would be removed permanently. I'm sure she was fuming, but she left me alone. I'm betting she tried it with others.
    Another buyer sent threats, then had his nephew in another state try it on me. NOT kidding. After Ebay investigated, BOTH were removed. You have to wonder, huh? LOL

    Some buyers are entirely unhinged.
    It's sad that eBay is so protective of them rather than trusted sellers.
    I'm so sorry this happened to you. You are right, eBay needs to do something about buyers like this.
    I've had another seller attack me over shipping prices, she was insistent on how much shipping would cost if I used this certain priority mail box, and that "she's only trying to help since my store was so small and I would likely never get business with shipping so high"
    (My store was a month old lol, and I calculate shipping ahead of time to not charge buyers too much 😊)
    The box she insisted I get? Discontinued for a year, and my shipping price was cheaper than using it lol
    I had to block her over very inappropriate things she had said to me. Some people need to relax, to act that way is not okay.

  • @samanthacalciano8211
    @samanthacalciano8211 11 месяцев назад

    Sorry to hear this happened to you. I had an awful experience with someone in IL. Only they sold me something. Gave me the wrong tracking number. I contacted ebay then correct tracking number was provided. Then once I got the box items inside not as seen in the photos in the listing. Never got one of the items and one of the dolls dresses wasn't even the same so contacted ebay again. Thank goodness I got a partial refund. I didn't leave a review as they were mentally off giving other buyers reviews a hard time in an extreme written way (which the other reviews weren't up when I purchased). I blocked them then that afternoon another person under a different account asks me about the thing I just bought. Like if I was going to sell it. Not even joking they were from the same town. Blocked them then a few months later in December under another name asked me again if the item I bought back in July was for sale. Then took down their message. I blocked them. Then under another name sent me multiple messages asking me giving me a sob story how they shouldn't have sold it. Had the nerve to tell me the price to list it for in a buy it now format. What was crazy was each time they asked it was in messages under other items I had for sale (not even related to the item they were asking me for). Just because I buy and sell off of eBay doesn't mean I am selling what I just bought. I have the right to collect things I want and sell what I want. Red flags: were telling me what to sell and what to sell it for in buy it now. The original seller was never mentioned. Then remembering the original picture of the item I thought I was buying didn't match the item they were trying to supposedly trying to get back from me. Item I purchased in July was given away as a gift so not even in my hands anymore and even if it was they are off their rocker thinking I would sell to such rude folks. So I just keep blocking and contacting eBay. But ya annoying and should be banned

    Ebay is s side bit for me. I sell in UK and usually post with Royal Mail as they very good for not loosing parcels. Anyway even if I buy simple second class postage with them on ebay there is always tracking number provided. Recently had a person claiming that didn't get the product. So I go into tracking and it shows they tried to deliver, nobody answer and item is waiting at depot to pick up. In UK if we miss the postie we get a card with info about where the parcel is(you can also choose a neighbour that they can leave the parcel with or safe place like shed etc). So I tell the guy what's going on. He opened the case and wants his money back and asks me why he needs to go to post office and pick it up🙄 well I responded to it and waited. Never heard anything back. Asked ebay to step in and they actually said I was right, no need to refund and all comments from that buyer will be removed. I forgot the whole case and few weeks after the item comes back to me, labelled as not picked up. So I refunded the guy anyway as it was right thing to do.

    I recently sold a Monopoly game. It is a first time buyer with feedback from one person which says “hope to see you soon”.my alarm bells went up but I was conflicted about continuing with the sale. My issue is it is an international sale from Australia to Mexico. My shipping cost charged to the buyer was less than the actually shipping cost. So I paid an extra $20 dollars out of my own pocket to send the game. Everything so far has gone smoothly. I have been tracking the item and can see the item has cleared customs in Mexico and is with the postal carrier for delivery in the country since 4th of January. I honestly feel like I’m going to be scammed in some way but I know I have to give this person the benefit of doubt & try not to be judgemental. It says estimated time to be delivered to customer is between 2 - 26 February so I’m on high alert. As it is an international sale I have said to treat the item as abandoned if it is not delivered as the cost to return to me would be too high. I’m on high alert and waiting for something to happen but am wondering what eBay will do as I have done everything right on my end.

  • @Michael-fw5ef
    @Michael-fw5ef 10 месяцев назад

    Ebay needs to rate buyers by the number of purchases divided by the number of returns or claims.
    If a buyer makes 20 purchases and returns or claims 7 purchases, that buyer would have a rating of 65%.
    Then, as sellers, we could filter out any buyer who has lower rating than 90% and other sellers could set their threshold as they see fit.
    We should also be allowed to apply a price surcharge to any buyer who has a high return rate, to cover potential claims.
    This would drive the bad buyers off the Ebay platform and benefit the good buyers and all Ebay sellers.

This individual was from Chicago ,opened a return and gave similar negative feedback. When the return was delivered, the package did not contain the item that was purchased. It contents were used dirty items. When it was reported EBay did back the seller and the feedback was removed along with refunding his cost of the item. Just wanted to let you know just in case this buyer returns the item

They do not want to give you one,therefore you have no proof for how much profit you made and then have to use gross sales rather than net. What do most sellers do? Just started watching your channel,very informative. I use to sell myself back when eBay first started. I’m now 74 and do not anymore. I may consider selling again as I still love thrifting and garage sales.

    There is another reseller on RUclips (can't remember who it was) but they got the same type of feedback - it was a guy from IL. The main difference is they sent him two packages that were full of junk and some things were disgusting. It does sound a lot like the same guy with the wording that he used. His message said almost the same things - and it was also about Chicago.

    I think Flipping Junk had a similar crazy return request like this. I believe the buyer sent back garbage (literally garbage).
    I'd recommend simply requesting they return the item for a refund in a short message and block them immediately.
    Also, I would report the buyer as abusive language.
    I know eBay does permanently ban person by name and SSN. Rare but it happens.

    Kevin. A buyer tried to buy a DVD from me but was getting an error message. He contacted me about it but didn't buy it. This DVD was cross posted and i think he tried to buy it there but didn't pay for it. A week later he sent me a nasty message about how the DVD was junk and he was going to report me. I told him he didn't buy it from me
    He gave me an apology.

BIN was 19.99 free ship. There offer was 10.99. I countered with 14.99. Accepted. Cost me 13.00 to ship coast 2 coast. Gets it and then leaves me negative feedback comparing about shipping and how people shouldn’t buy from me… dirtbags

    Why does ebay allow customers to open a return when item is still in transit? Complete fail.
    I just had a request on a $150 purchase and tracking shows delivered on the 30th. Customer says they never received? Called ebay after getting the ebay automated run around and finally spoke to a live person. They said they will find in my favor on the 16th. Hope thats true.
    Your customer has some serious issues, no doubt.
    This holiday season on ebay ( for me at least ) was full of rude people. Not as bad as yours.

    Kevin what would you do? Sold a vintage Dallas Cowboys coat just like your Dolphins coat. She asked for a return. I accepted it she never responded to the ebay request with my shipping lable.. the time frame ran out and ebay closed the return request. She had over 40 days to return the item. Well it just showed up in the mail today 3 days after ebay closed the case. Would you refund them? Don't see how it would take someone 44 day to return a item.

    Unfortunately I highly doubt eBay will act. I had a buyer one time say I was lazy and what was wrong with the world and say some other stuff that was worse all because I used the “sell one like this” feature and explained to them that I did to explain another sellers sku code in the title when they asked what it meant. Reported 5 times. Ebay did nothing. Messaged ebay on multiple platforms. Still. Did. Nothing.

    I think that customer is a viewer that opened an Ebay account just to attack you. They were so impatient to mess with you that they couldn't even wait for the item to arrive. Their messages are based on what they assume about you (and where you live) from your videos. The item means nothing and they don't care about the consequences because it's a "burner" account.

      But seriously, I don't think it was a crazy buyer that arbitrarily bought from Kevin. I think the customer was seeking him out (not the Funko Pop). Based on how crazy/personal the buyer's comments were, I think an Ebay Rep would find that plausible as well and justification for feedback removal or refund cancelation.
      I've dealt with a few "extreme" buyer reactions and when it's too outlandish and over-the-top the seller wins by simply contacting Ebay and not engaging the customer.
