Re: New scam on ebay

Report it as a hijacked/scam account and tell them to check the account as the negative feedback proves

 

the scam,(this scam pops up on a regular basis).

 

The seller is Not A Registered User so they have been shut down,(the name was changed on the 4 of August

 

to a more trusting name so that they could scam more successful).

 

These scams are getting beyond a joke and with eBay/Paypal not refunding it may start to appear as if the

 

scammer is backed by them,(these cases were always resolved quickly with the buyers getting their money back

 

but with this new "angle" they are successfully ripping of eBay members)shok.gif

Re: New scam on ebay

As you were advised, get all your ducks in a row (including your copy of all correspondence with Australia Post) and contact the FOS.

 

BUT, be sure you have ALL relevant information. "I didn't receive it, because they changed the label (not possible if they are generating the label electronically as the QR and barcodes contain the original information)" will not cut it.

If you prepare what you're going to say (in a FOS dispute), post it here, and then different responders can help you if the information needs to be better presented or explained.

How exactly are they changing it?

 

I know I can put/change any tracking number in My eBay summary,(so is that also changing it on your

 

order form or buying summary?)

How can they get tracking information that shows as delivered?

I've also reported it via a message on their Facebook page as this is getting out of hand if scammers get the

 

money instead of the ripped of buyers,stubborn_smiley_by_mirz123-d4bt0te_zps12f1a5a3.gif
