This guy won a game from us, and instead of emailing questions or comments he calls us. On the phone. Long distance. He said it's free for him. I think it's strange, for ebay I prefer some level of anonymity. It's like people that buy stuff at my work knowing my home phone.
???
Then the new trend for buyers remorse is to let it sit at the post office until they send it back, claim you didn't get it, delivery confirmation will say undelivered, and get a FULL refund! This has happened twice now.
And I'm so mad, we now have a negative because of a scammer. This guy bought 2 expensive Disney pieces. About $200 total. We charged $20 for shipping, but because they were so large we had to ship individually so we ate about $15 in shipping costs. Oh well, we stand by our word.
The guy says it arrives broken. I am VERY surprised, because these things are double packed first in original box which is surrouned by foam, then I pack around it in layers of bubble wrap and packing peanuts. The picture he sent (which is of the piece loose out of box) looks like it fell off a shelf or something.
For one thing he has a lot of negs and neutrals from people because he's a powerseller and uses a line "it fell off the truck and broke so sorry" to people. In one of his negs he actually says "bidder refused to file insurance form, bad apple on ebay".
So I try and get him to file the insurance we paid for. No response other then "give me a full refund now". He appeals to paypal, and it sits there for a month. I try multiple times to get him to file insurance. No response.
THEN he does a credit card chargeback!! They give him ALL his money back, and that's it!
Then when I leave him negative, he leaves one back saying what a nasty seller I am!
I am POSITIVE he had a piece that was broken, bought mine to replace it, knew the post office wouldn't give him a refund because I packed to well, and chargedback. Dirty dirty scammer, and there isn't anything I can do about it.
Well except for watch out for him to put something up for sale, or outbid him on things he wants just for the sake of making him pay a little more.
Seriously, this guy is some of the lowest of the low I have ever seen on ebay, and there have been some contestents.
GRR!
