Proving what you sent works.
So I have read and seen and heard stories of sellers getting rocks returned, people saying they got an item that does not work or other such buyer scams. I thought about this long and hard. So if I set up my packaging right next to my test bench, then getting the item while filming video, show the item being hooked up, then working, then being boxed then keeping the camera on the package at all times ,(never let it get out of picture frame) this would include driving it to the post office and only turning off the camera once it was put in the postal employees hands. This would show that you did indeed mail a perfect working item. The critical part is to make sure the package NEVER goes off frame for even one second, they can say you did something off camera, switched packages ect... I believe you can't as a buyer intent on scamming, dispute that no matter what you say. Anyone ever done this, would this work, how can it be improved to make it work if not?

·4 years agoMaybe, if an item was costly enough and you hand delivered it and took a video of the two of you watching a demonstration of it working......then maybe it would hold up in a small claims court.
I say maybe because buyer could claim it stopped working properly a day later.
But who's going to do all that ? and as far as eBay goes, it would be a waste of time anyway.
Best you're gonna do is get it to get it back, hope it does still work, resell it and notify eBay that the buyer put in a false claim.

·1 year agoIf someone buys an item they are not qualified to install. let's say Its a boiler control device, hard wired directly to a building's electrical system. It turns on the gas and ignites the flames. While it also powers pumps and other stuff it is responsible for maintaining a safe temperature. Twenty days later they admit their "technician" had trouble retrofitting in a vent damper. Our device's description sais NO Damper!
The buyer opens a return claiming Its Damaged and did not shut off. in the return is a picture of a terrible and dangerous installation.
When I get it back I will do a diagnostic video proving it works.
What will Ebay say when my next buyer receives it and is Completely Satisfied
