2 scammers in a row, what a week. Thanks ebay......NOT

[yesdealer]

Hi guys

Anyone noticed the increasing number of scammers (or at least scammer wanna-be) on ebay?

Thanks to the non-sense return process, it's so easy to threaten seller and steal the item, thus everyone is trying to get something for nothing now.

=============================================================

1)

We sold a dress to a lady in UK (from my other ID), guess what she's complaining about it?

" The dress is puckered ! I am very unhappy ! You are a shady seller and I want full refund plus return postage all paid to me before I send the dress back you ! I am 61 years ago so I am not lying."

Riiiiiiiight, the dress is puckered; no damage, just puckered ................. let it sink in for a moment.

And she wants full refund plus return postage granted beforehand.

Oh, she is also 61 years old, thus she has lost the ability to lie, hasn't she? 

* I meant no offence to seniors, 61 yo is not that old anyway.

==============================================================

2)

Another buyer, sorry no, another scammer from Sydney, brought a pair of pants. (also from my other ID)

She complains that the size is not as described, which is most likely untrue because I personally measured them.

"Fine," I still politely replied, "just send the pants back, and if it's a mistake I made, I will sure grant full refund and return postage".

Her answer was:

"NO! I want full refund first ! Give me my money then I will send the pants back, or I will report you to ebay and start a 'not as described' case. I really don't want to but I will ! "

Soon after she gave me a negative feedback.

=============================================================

We (me and me wife) did encounter many scammers over the years, we hate them to the bones for sure, but at least they knew what they were doing; such as using stolen credit card, hacked paypal account, file charge back, told us to send item to different country ...etc.

Now look at these pathetic clowns, they know nothing about rules and policies, and yet they are still trying to become a scammer.

All you need to do is to threaten seller, right? EASSSY.

Thanks ebay, you scammer breeder.

I apologise in advance for this, you're probably not quite in the mood, but...

Perhaps you can tell her you're 103, so can't possibly be a scammer. 😄

I wish I had something more constructive, or at least positive, to say, but the only thing I can offer is commiserations and empathy. Thankfully I haven't come across too many agressive buyers, but sadly yes, definitely noticing an increase in the number of supposed issues since the MBG was introduced by eBay.

Nothing yet but are trying to scam a dress and a pair of pants

1) Ask them for a photo of the puckering, if they won't provide one call ebay and make it very clear that the byer is making unreasonable demands. I would love to say that if you sent me their address and phone number (I am in the UK) I could call them and say I ws your UK representative and could they please provide me with proof of the tem being not as described LOL LOL.

2) Ask for a photo of the offending area next to a tape measure or ruler to show your measurements are wrong because if they are not then it is not a valis reason for a return.

I would message explaining it is policy to refund once the item is returned in both cases.

And good suggestion from PJ.

They should have a culling of the over 60s to prevent such things.

Spoiler

that was a joke. Not very funny I know. I have known some quite evil "old people" though.
