Bullet Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Is it me or is ebay no longer a viable place to sell things these days. There are so many scammers these days, If you don't get tracking on an item you can guaranty it strangely won't arrive. One of the things i sold was a front wing, i put tracking on it but the buyer took a picture of his damaged wing and said that the one i sent him was damaged in the post so i asked him to return it as i'd marked my part on the inside to prove it was mine, low and behold the one he sent back wasn't marked but the wasn't good enough for ebay and i still had to refund him.

ATTAK Z Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The more I hear about Ebay, the more I'm glad I've never used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) hate it when I deal with people like this but unfortunately there are quite a few out there.I tend to ask for 'collection in person' when I can, as that will save me for all the hustle afterwards don't think Ebay does enough to protect sellers Edited February 26, 2018 by valy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 It can be that way, but often is not (based on my own experience of selling dozens of items with no problems) - like anything in life you can get conned whether its on there, selling on FB, forum, etc. there is always a way. We had a recent post of someone having a problem with a buyer of a laptop and they won the challenge (I think!), so it doesn't always go the way of the buyer.

Last year i sold some headlights and it turned out that i was going past his on the way to a weekend away, so i delivered them myself but a few days later the buyer said he hadn't received them and put in a complaint with ebay who then wanted tracking info to prove i'd sent them ....so back in the car for another 3 hour drive to....Cough....remind him the i'd hand delivered them.
