Yet. If eBay continue to refund online shoplifters, then you and all other sellers WILL pay more to cover the loss.

Further to all this I checked the sellers listings a week later and guess what?  There was the item listed on their own listings complete with the pictures and content coppied accross from my own listing!!!  I callled ebay and they said they would look into it, but could not tell me the outcome because of privacy.  I then also filed an inapropriate listing report, and the item remained up there for a couple of weeks then was sold!!! Yep the buyer is always right, and then they can steal and resell and get away with it.  I am still astounded to this day!  I come accross people all the time who are a bit worried about buying high priced items on ebay, and I tell them if they pay by paypal, they have not a thing to worry about!  I use this blatant theft as an example. It was black and white in the messaging that they admitted to causing the issue with the product, and they still got a refund, got to keep it, and was allowed to re-sell it!!!

*shakes head* Incredible... didn't happen to me but it annoys the begeezus out of me.

It might have been more topical to report back last April, rather than this February.

had a scammer try to say a refund hadnt been paid despite all of the transactions being recorded on paypal..and this buyer wasnt an ebay newb..point is keep all of your records..they backed down immediately after they knew the facts..never ceases to amaze just how far people push the envelope..
