I posted an item for $270 and the person offered $350. Then said to text or email them with more pics. When I clicked on their account they had created their account that day, had no reviews and were from Singapore saying they wanted the item shipped to PA. I declined the offer - shady stuff
Funny just had one last night from Singapore but wanted to ship to Ohio. Sent me a phone number to text. Made the account that day! I said he can pay the 950 I was asking and not the 1100 he offered and do it on on ebay by pressing the buy it now button. No respond yet lol!
Wendi Altman Same thing happened to me this morning. Offer was for one cent more than I’m asking. New buyer account based in Singapore. Just going to let it expire.
I just sold a fendi shirt for 400 , I made sure I got confirmation, well 2 days later after I shipped it ebay lets me know this was a suspicious buyer because they were not registered, the lady on the phone let me know I was ok if the paypal money was on the account, and confirmation will help, along with any notes ebay has on the buyer based on the email they sent me, they made offerers after they bought the item, the woman who helped me said the money was as good as mine, and ebay has them on record which goes againt any dpite
I just had this happen to me that's why I searched for this video I have a pair of Jordan's up and someone just offered me almost doubled what I posted them for witch makes no sense so I looked them up before I emailed them back and their ebay account didn't look real no purchase history or nothing . Thanks for the Info bro I'm new at selling stuff on eBay so I'm learning but yeah man it looked pretty fishy
I sell a lot of expensive shoes on eBay. On my eBay site, I state ahead of time that all items are shipped with tracking number and a signature will be required upon delivery. So far I have not had any problems. Also, I charge $25 for shipping which is what UPS is charging me. I think this weeds out the scammers and they move on to someone else.
I sold a pair of jordans and got delivered on Dec. 3 2018, i woke up today to the buyer claiming the shoes had a big black mark which i know 100% they did not had not i would have listed it as defected. What kind of buyer would wait a exactly the days you have to issue a refund (you have a month) also the buyer has refused multiple times to send pictures. Is this a scam? What should I Do?
I wish I would have seen this before I sold a brand new Samsung galaxy phone on Ebay one week ago. My daughter got scammed out of 700.00 dollars. Not only are theses scams happening on Ebay but also on Paypal. My daughter was receiving messages from Paypal that looked legitimate. I contacted my local police department and gave them all the emails that were sent to her that were supposedly from Paypal. So now Paypal doesn't even have it on their records showing any transaction of any kind. I put a lock on the phone so it would show up on the blacklist if anyone should try to use the phone.When I try to file an unpaid item report on my item it keeps showing up that my item number does not exist. I will keep calling Ebay to help me with this situation but I feel that they are protecting the buyer more than the seller.I have done some research on my own using the phone number that he contacted me with[ YES HE CALLED ME JUST TO THANK ME FOR THE FREE PHONE AND FOR HIM THIS IS HIS JOB]] and it tracks back to a bandwidth . I'm related to someone who is a tech guru and he has found some very disturbing info on these scammers. Right now I am more worried that he has my shipping address. I highly doubt that he and his ring of scammers will get caught but at the very least I got to tell him off! I will never be using Ebay or Paypal again!!
Wow that sucks that she lost 700 dollars I always check to see if the buyer has a decent buyer rating now before I do high item transactions. I hope you can get your issue resolved.
Never ship without payment. They tried that when I was selling a Note 8 and made 3 attempts to sell my personal phone. They hit Buy It Now and sent a bank account payment via PayPal and will try to get you to send it then cancel the payment. They only waste my time because I have to wait till the transaction drops off because I know better than to send out something with out a received payment.
Yeah eBay fuckyah it's true ebay is run by a criminal element you just gotta be careful like I said Mary careful on ebay before you sell anything just take check money order or credit card don't accept pay pal
i had same issue all them buyer with zero rating are fake, i allready told ebay about it they didn't do nothing, i told them why they don't block this people with less than 5 or 10 rating can't bid on higher price item, they never replied i guess ebay are involved in this too !!
I just got scamed few days ago the buyer told me to send it to a different address im not gonna stop selling on ebay im hip to the game they can only get away with thst bs one time im alert now
So right now I guy or girl offered me 100 dollars for a remote control car which is the price I am selling it and they put there number in there so I contact him so see what’s up and then he said that he will paid 70 dollars to send it for his kid and 200 if I buy a gift card to put in the package so be careful with this he’s going to use friends and family to refund his money then I will have spent more than 200 dollars because he tried to scam me because I’m a newbie
Tracking number, record if you can for example if you send it record the quality and if you get a return also record yourself walking to your mailbox to see what’s up for proof. If you can use sign at delivery
I'm considering selling a 1 year old iPhone and I don't want to get scammed. If I list this as a Buy It Now for 30.00, with a shipping price of 280.00 and I get a scam buyer, will ebay only refund them 30.00
Reverse shipping & buy it now cost....send FEDEX with signature confirmation....take photos of item.....(video) your item being packaged if this your first time sending out a costly item.....build as much evidence in the event something of such sort would/could/should happen!
Loreal Drayton it doesn't matter if you take video of packing item up AND OF you putting it Into the hands of the USPS or FedEx carrier, you will still be shit put of luck . This is a fact. According to get another genius policy by eBay, if an item is damaged after it leaves your possession (whether it's true or not & you suspect the buyer fucked it up or is just saying it's fucked up & sending lame pics that don't really show what they are bitchimg about, you will be held liable. Thus the buyer is always right.😒😠these asshole also will order shit and then make superficial damages to the item & tell you they received it that way. They want a discount, as they know you'll probably offer a partial refund (the discount for that asshole). It's such bullshit.v
No eBay will refund EVERYTHING ..reversing doesn't do anything you can also be reported for excessive shipping cost. If you sale something make sure they have good feedback and not new members. I always cancel bids from 0 feedback buyers you just don't know !
Ive sold item described as used in good condition Buyer tried to get a full refund as it wasn't new. Ebay said I have to accept return I no longer sell on ebay Ebay is scum
I was one of the victims caught up in this scam. A friend who had warned me earlier and I didn't listen connected me with a hacker called hacksting, he asked me some questions and proof of payment within 24hours he had my money refund with a little fee. Email hacksting for help:kinghacksting0@gmail.com
I just got an offer of 44.00 dollars and then one for 45.99 from two different people who joined eBay today and one from yesterday but the thing is that the camera I am selling, I listed it for 20.00 and they want 45.00 so I think this a scam but what do you think?
Yeah I listed an expensive belt and I accepted an offer for $1k so then the scammer told me to go to the store and buy $300 worth of google play cards I didn’t do any of that so I am currently waiting for his bank account to charge him money to pay my item hopefully I can get it
same thing happened to me, buyer was like oh put in wrong address is for a friend bla bla.. coz my big price was from 65 and bin was 125.. nobody had big and he bought it for 125 and said oh no i put in the wrong address.. I was like okay I'll let you buy it now again with the set price with right address.. didn't reply for 2 days so I sent the item.. week later he messages me calling me a scammer instead and threatens me.. boi would I have whooped his scammin ass.. got my money tho still coz I knew my shit
immediately, cancel the bid or agreement to pay.....dont send anything out! Set your handling time to 3 business days on pricier items just to see if the buyer legit.....
Thanks man 👍 I almost get scam . Someone lives in the UK want to buy my Macbook and asked me to send him/her through DHL express . The crazy thing about this is that the delivery fee over hundred dollars, but they don't care. They just wanted me to send them the computer no matter how much it would cost. And the payment method is PayPal which is exactly the same as in video.
Watch out for scammers asking for your paypal email account address and fake emails they got me and now I’m out 650 for my iPhone 7 that’s shipped out already
Sosa games uses friends and family to ruin his competition. Buys your item then reports to Amazon and Ebay that you sell counterfeit items. See the Bad Buyer List.
mythoughts 176 It’s most likely a scam. I learned that if they’re not trying to talk or buy through eBay/Poshmark/etc. accounts, than they’re trynna scam you.
Problem there is that I am a legitimate new seller. I made one sale a couple weeks ago but the buyer did not leave any feedback. I left positive feedback for them. Anyway, I have other items listed but I believe I have a sold anything else yet because people are afraid of buying from someone with 0 feedback. So it's kind of tough to get off the ground as a new seller.
Thanks for the vid, Ive gotten a huge rash of these recently made accounts or super low feedback as I started selling more but still small acc. Its to the point now I google map ever address, Ive literally delivered to the middle of a corn field more then once. Also note, Not sure whats happening but since Ive had those attempts have been made on bigger accounts, that's the only thing different is ebay. I used to refuse sale but now ebay forces sales & returns..Any further advice to stay ahead of the curve would be greatly appreciated!
What about sellers who are bad? maybe there are scam buyers because sellers are not truth full on what they are selling ive had to many things show up either packed like shit takes to long takes there sweet time to ship and hid flaws that should of been disclosed
There are no scam sellers these days because ebay has built it's system to protect buyers 100%. As a result buyer scams have run rampant and there are no protections for sellers against scamming by buyers.
What are you talking about😂 You’d have to be an idiot to try and scam as a seller on eBay with their “always side with buyers no matter what policies”! I had a guy claim the item I shipped arrived broken. No problem right just return it. This dude took this electronic device apart, admitted to doing so through eBay emails, even sent pictures, kept the remote, sent me back a different item with s different serial number, and eBay still said refund the guy!😳 But yeh, you’re right, it’s the sellers😂
First time ever selling something on eBay (I have purchased stuff for a few years now) and on the first day I listed my item (Xbox one x) I got an offer for more than 100 dollars asking price. I'm a skeptical person, thankfully and started researching my ass off found out about these shirty scammers after I would decline their offer their account would be erased. I have seen about 20 of these bastards so far thankfully I changed everything to keep myself protected so far haven't had a real buyer, it sucks I really thought I would sell it quickly
Ebay didn't lift a finger when I got scammed by one of the sellers. I lost $200.
~Good-bye, Ebay, Hello, Amazon ~
so hows the amazon so far?
I’m preteriré it’s the same
How’s amazon?
AMAZON IS TRASH
Almost got scammed man. Appreciate this
Same thx
Same I'm chatting with the scammer right now
I posted an item for $270 and the person offered $350. Then said to text or email them with more pics. When I clicked on their account they had created their account that day, had no reviews and were from Singapore saying they wanted the item shipped to PA. I declined the offer - shady stuff
omg i have the SAME problem
Funny just had one last night from Singapore but wanted to ship to Ohio. Sent me a phone number to text. Made the account that day! I said he can pay the 950 I was asking and not the 1100 he offered and do it on on ebay by pressing the buy it now button. No respond yet lol!

I just had this happen to me that's why I searched for this video I have a pair of Jordan's up and someone just offered me almost doubled what I posted them for witch makes no sense so I looked them up before I emailed them back and their ebay account didn't look real no purchase history or nothing . Thanks for the Info bro I'm new at selling stuff on eBay so I'm learning but yeah man it looked pretty fishy
Yea I always look at the location of where the buyer is and when I see they’re from a different country I know it’s a red flag.
Yea just posted pmy Kd7 and got like 5 fakes offers the next morning..
Me too.
How did you guys know it was fake? I just got offers on some air max’s but unsure if they’re legit

Got scammed out of £60 even though the buyer had a high rating. 400+ rating and they're doing stuff like that, real stupid.

Someone offered me the exact amount but was asking me to email or text them about the PayPal information... I believe it was a scam
I AM HAVING THAT ISSUE, WHAT DID YOU DO?
MY BUYER IS ASKING ME TO CONTACT THEM VIA TEXT AND LEFT A CELL NUMBER, THEY JUST WANT TO ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT THE ITEM.

I just experience that myself. Thanks for the video.
Almost got scammed today listed Burberry card holders for $165 each they offers $170 for all 3 of my card holders good thing I saw this video 👌🏽
Never sell high end electronics on Ebay. Craigslist is the way to go. And most cities have police station's where you can meet safely.
Craigslist is dangerous also full of scams
Good lookin out bruh the almost got me much respect seriously.
