Proof: Massive Scammer on eBay (Camera Seller)
1) The Seller is Selling the Camera for $800 Cheaper then the Market price (the A7IV)
2) After Purchasing I quickly realized this is a scam and I requested Cancelation and he Ignored every single message.
3) The Seller Listed the EXACT SAME Photos, Description, Price, Title, EVERYTHING. Even the fingerprints on the screen of the Cameras are identical. He's getting tons of buyers and re-listing.
3) I have Left a NEGATIVE REVIEW, and it DISSAPEARED within minutes. I have proof of this as well. Shame on eBay for allowing this.

Unfortunately there's no way to Contact eBay. When I call "during customer service hours" they say they are closed. So please help me cancel this order and get this Seller Banned.

·7 months agoWhat makes you think it's a Scam. There are tons of Grey Market cameras floating around Ebay.
It makes you look foolish to start pressing panic buttons when you don't have any facts to back up your claims.
What if child ? You are the Scammer.
Massive Scam ? You found a contestant for American Greed ?
The Camera you are selling has it's Serial Numbers removed. That's another Scam.
Are you from New Delhi ?

·6 months agoThe Package shows "Delivered" to my address. And then the seller claims I'm lying or something.
Your not even going to open it ? If it was Delivered because you need to take a 16 hour flight here to do so 😂

If the buyer actually receives something, the buyer can file a "not as described" return within thirty days for a full refund. In fact, any buyer on eBay can file a "not as described" return, provided the buyer is willing and able to return exactly what was received.
If tracking shows delivery but nothing arrives and the buyer can obtain some hard copy documentation (email is not good enough) that says that the package was not delivered to the buyer's address or documentation that shows the weight or size of the package cannot possibly correspond to the ordered item, or the shipping date precedes the order, then the buyer may be able to contact eBay via social media direct message, provide that documentation to eBay and get help with "false tracking".

With "false tracking" if you go through a standard automated "item not received" case, on the other hand, you will lose the case because the seller can provide tracking that appears to show delivery. If you then appeal, you may have some additional options at that point. It appears that eBay has added a new appeal option regarding "delivery to another address", but I do not know how effective that is compared to contacting eBay via social media with documentation and explicitly mentioning "false tracking", which seems to work provided you can obtain the necessary documentation.
If you are unable to get help through eBay, you may have recourse through your payment method, though you should probably exhaust all your eBay options first since once you go through your payment method, eBay will no longer help with that transaction.
In general, you can avoid a lot of headaches by choosing to purchase only from established sellers that have recent and past positive feedback as a seller for selling items in the same category that you intend to buy. If someone is selling a dozen apple watches, but has no feedback, or only has feedback as a buyer, or only has feedback for selling dress patterns or fishing lures (actual examples I have seen), perhaps wait until they have a track record of positive feedback for selling electronics before you buy from them.

·7 months agoYou have every right to ask to cancel the order because you have a "hunch" this is a scam.
The seller has every right not to cancel the order.
You have every right to return the order after you receive it.
Ebay has a MBG (money back guarantee) for all buyers.
Buyers are well protected.
If you find something wrong with the item, by all means return it.
Who knows, maybe you'll like it?
Maybe you'll be happy that you got a good price?
----------------------------------------------------
On a side note.
The seller shouldn't have listed it as "open box".
It should have been listed as "used".
When the buyer stated "low shutter count" it's a dead giveaway that it's NOT new or open box.

OP7 months agoWhat if the Seller sends me a box of rocks that's the exact weight of the Camera. With tracking.
The Package shows "Delivered" to my address. And then the seller claims I'm lying or something.

·7 months agoIf you receive something different from what you ordered, you open a return request for Item Not As Described. This is a return the seller cannot deny, so they will send you a shipping label to return whatever they actually sent you or they will just refund you. Or, if after 3 days they haven't done anything, then you ask ebay to step in and ebay refunds you.
