I have just returned to EBay after a few years and have a buyer who is trying to scam me.
I listed an authentic Chanel No5 Parfume. That my mother gave me as a present from David Jones.
Didn't have the heart to tell her that I have not worn that perfume in years so decided to sell on EBay as I am very well stocked up in perfume.
Placed item on auction and received an EBay message if it was fake or not.
Assured buyer it was bought from Chanel Department at David Jones.
Same buyer placed highest bid. I sent message saying thank you and could he/she let me know when they were going to pay so I could organize posting ASAP. Did not receive any message back. Day 5 sent invoice and a message asking if everything was ok as I still hadn't heard back. Eventually ended up filing a non-payment case and was paid 5 days after filing this.
Eventually received a one line message saying " sorry I was sick"
Have erred on the side of caution and not left feedback. Today received a message saying it was a fake despite being in original box, wrapping and David Jones bag. Have copied serial number prior to sending.
Says scent only last 20 minutes and wants money back.
I have read their feedback and it almost seems faked. That is exactly the same messages with same amount of exclamation marks and all.
Last comment thought says this member bids, doesn't pay and then uses different accounts.
Is anyone aware of such scams?
