Title: BEWARE OF EBAY-How I got f'ed
Post by: repairguy on November 30, 2013, 07:15:35 AM
With the upturn in btc price I had a miner that was selling for 2.5times what I paid for it on eBay.  So I sold mine.  I had to pay $70 to ship it and the buyer received it 3 days later.   26 days later, the buyer opened a dispute claiming that it didn't work correctly.  I replied that it worked just fine when I shipped it.  Ebay gave him 10 days to open a claim or close the case.  10 days later escalated it to a claim.  Ebay took 2 days to make a decicion and now says he can mail it back for a full refund.  They gave him 10 days to provide tracking information.  It is now the 7th day and still no tracking.  He probably wont ship it untill the last day.  Then it will take another 3-5 days to get back to me.  I am out the $70 for shipping and he has been mining with my machine for over a month for free.

This is really sad

You may wish to flag his Ebay username on the forum so nobody else gets shafted

Some people are just bad. They always try to find a way to scam someone.
Sorry that this has happened to you, very unfortunate.

Yep, the golden rule is that everywhere (not just eBay) can have people who are out to shark you. eBay is just more prone to it than most places. At least you didn't try to sell BTC on eBay, loads of people have lost BTC that way.
