Buyers with malicious intents...

[icollected]

Is it really worth selling your soul for a few dollars? Call me a pessimist but one particular buyer has given other sellers (most recent 20 feedbacks):

4 different sellers 4 negative feedbacks

Remainder of the 16 feedback: 5 revisions from something to positive.

20 purchases, 9 bad transactions all from different sellers with tens of thousands of feedback. I find this streak of badluck a bit hard to believe. If I was a buyer and I ran into this number of bad purchases I would stay well away from eBay.

Nope. This buyer is continuing buying on eBay. Combo goes something like: Buy. Neg. Forced refund. obtain item for free. repeat. Too difficult to do it face to face. So much easier over the net.

Some of you would know this buyer's name in just a couple of clicks. hint hint. Hopefully eBay's system are programed to spot outliers. Continuous negs and high ratio of feedback revision should raise flags for a trust and safety staff to review the account.

Happy shopping! I hope you folks don't run into a string of bad luck. Never had a problem buying off eBay myself 🙂

Just as everyone is aware that there are fraudulant sellers on ebay trying to fleece buyers, it would be a little naive to think that there arent fraudulant buyers on ebay trying to fleece sellers. Real bricks and mortor shops deal with it everyday, people trying to scam them with refunds and returns and any other scheme they can think of, so it is very likely that the same goes on with ebay too. So far it doesnt seem to be something that is talked about lots on here, so hopefully it isnt too wide spread, the last thing we need on ebay is more reason for good sellers and buyers to distrust each other.
