Re: PayPal Buyer Protection Scam/Bad Policy

It is true. I had another scammer in ebay US sales. He bought an item and immediately requested return stating it was broken in pieces while the box was untouched. He presented misty / unclear pictures on ebay and I had to allow return. 3 days after I received item in bare the envelope but the item was not one I sold him (different color wood , different manufacturing date stamped and stripped chrome. It was obvious it was his own broken item he replaced with my own. I contacted ebay but no luck. I was given hard time with many hours of calls on the phone. A guy has 4 feedback and not old account. Me power seller with an account from 2015, immaculate feedback. Over 200 items sold in 2 months with no records of return problems of this type. Guess. I lost money, paid shipping both way, and have no item. Why is ebya/paypal supporting scammer community. Ebay gets $700 in fees every month. Don’t they want to keep me there. Don’t they want those buyers to stay away? By rewarding this behavior they invite more scammers. Now I am scared that this particular guy will be advising other to do the same as it was so easy! Terrible and sad. ... View more

I sold rare obsolete Mercedes part on monday 9/30 and shipped it immediately insured priority with signature confirmation. Man signed for it on 10/3. On 10/6 I receive message from man stating he received something else with picture of it. Item he showed was item I sold to someone else a day after. I went to paypal and saw same town and state both packages were shipped to. I looked closer and the same name was on both transactions. I notified ebay and after a while his account was suspended. 3 weeks past and I received notification from paypal that not as described case has been filed by him. I requested pictures but haven’t heard from man. No pictures, no message .Instead he escalated case to paypal. I tried submitting all evidence from ebay and paypal didn’t take it into account. Instead asked him to send item back. At this point I can’t comprehend how it is allowed. I will receive other cheap item and will have $450 given to this thief. I have no item I spent money and time to get it. I drove 50 miles to remove it in the rain. This guy gets to keep this item and my money. I checked his account and items he sold and before ebay suspended his account he made it to sell item that looked like my brake light. I searched ebay and found another exactly same listing. The guy opened another account and keeps selling counterfeit/ copies of brake light I sent him. He used my Brake light to take a picture for his auction to lure buyers that his items looks like authentic. he needed it to be able to 3 d print/make copies. He calls it “reproduction” (Springfield, OR).  What’s up with paypal? Never asked him for any proof, never investigated, never got in touch with ebay. Where is seller protection? Why did Insure item why request signature?  ... View more
