Can I get scammed?

[ra7250]

I am selling real Items not boxes if you know what I mean, I am selling a so called "(YouTuber Bundle) 500Gb PS4 (Jet Black) Elagto HD 60 + RIG Headset + 2 PS4 Games" Local only, if a buyer buys it for $500 (any amount) and he picks it up and pays with PayPal, can he put a dispute or refund,ect? Example : He picks up the items pays with Paypal and he wants a refund (item dosent work,ect) Will he get his money? If so he has to return my items right? Like I have to press a button saying he has returned them? If so please tell me thanks.

Why do you keep asking for info on how to scam people and get away with it.  Faulty items and empty boxes.

Provide clear and factual information about the items.

Provide useful information and images of the items that are included. 

Don't lie about what the items are, or what condition they're in.

Don't waste space with what items are "worth", particularly if they're not included for sale.

Simple.

sorry, but now you are just channelling erg!  I would explain this comment further except that I would get a forum policy violation and I am not prepared to do that.

"please make a list" . . . . . . . NO

If you are incapable of preparing a proper listing you should not be selling on eBay.  I know this sounds harsh, but the 'erg experience' burned a lot of regular posters and I doubt that anyone would make a list that is any more detailed than this effort from this tired old poster:

Step one - end all your listings

Step two - read the site map to learn about selling before listing any more items (there is a link at the bottom of every page)

Step three - do not ask where is the site map is . . . . . that will confirm that you are erg and are just being a pest here

Step four - read the threads on the selling discussion forum . . . . . . all of them.  They will contain all the answers you need.

Nice one the amplifier works all the time but the ear piece doesn't

[ra7250]

I'm not asking for information to scam people! I'm actually selling my **bleep**ing PS4 + Elgato and 2 Games

[ra7250]

just asking questions on how to improve a listing so I get more buyers! If I wanted to scam people I could have done it by now. I just wanted to know if someone could scam me if I was selling a item like I am atm and get the refund without returning the items, like what I said on the first post.

well, now that you have removed the headset and amplifier from the listing and removed mention of them in the description I am unable to quote what you had written.

However, my memory is pretty good and I recall clearly that your listing had something like "PlayStation 4 (Jet Black) Elgato HD60 + Headset + Amplifier (Defective Sometimes)".

By putting the "Defective Sometimes" after the Amplifier you WERE saying that the Amplifier is defective.

Please indicate in your posts who it is you are replying to, otherwise it just gets too confusing.  At the moment it looks like you are replying to yourself in every post.  If you are using a mobile phone to view the boards you should start each post like this:

@k1ooo,

Nice one the amplifier . . . . .

I've already explained why I'm reluctant to assist you. 

Like I said, your previous listings were severely lacking in integrity - improve that first, and your listings will improve in kind.

and if you go back through the replies you will see that you HAVE received some really useful information.  In fact, you must have considered the information to be worth listening to because you have edited your listing to remove the headpiece and amplifier as well as removing the references to RRP's.

Don't get narky with 'everyone' when not 'everyone' has been unhelpful.  If you don't like what I have written just say so in a post directed to me and I will stop posting on your threads.  I will not be offended if you do this.

I'm late getting to this thread OP, but to be honest you never came back to your previous thread when it was shown that you were  attempting to scam buyers with your listings, either by deceptive desciptions or by inflating postal costs.

So far you have had one feedback for your two sales and that's a negative, that listing was both deceptive and had inflated postal costs. You were probably lucky just to end up with a neg rather than being reported to the on-line fraud squad for your actions.

You would have been fully aware that those listings for the various boxes were blatant attempts to scam buyers, and yet you now come here to ask how to prevent yourself getting scammed...................

O.K. so now you have to try and repair the damage done to your selling account and your reputation on a public forum, that is not going to be easy for you, but as they say "one step at a time". The experienced members here can give you guidlines to achieve that but at the end of the day it's you that will have to put in the hard yards to rectify your previous mistakes.

You have had some very instructive answers here to your question about getting scammed and I can see that you've taken some of that advice on board.

In future listings it would pay you to do a search and see what the same item is on sale for (or has been sold previously for) by other sellers and set your prices accordingly, being aware that you are trying to sell in a category that you'll have a lot of competition in.

In reference to your current listing for the controller, a quick search on eBay will get you a pair of those switches for under $2 and a U Tube search will give you instructions on how to replace them, going down that track will give you a better chance of a sale on it. Otherwise list it "for parts only". Also adjust the postage on it, there's no way that it would cost you nearly $30 to post that - there's no way a buyer is going to pay nearly $50 for a broken controller when they can get a brand new one for around the same price.

 or less.
