eBay

So I bought an Oculus Quest from someone on eBay, good rating, only one negative review for something not shipping on time and the rest say he shipped fast, but the Quest VR headset sold for $335 with free shipping, and it claimed to be new and unopened, when I contacted him asking when he'd ship it, he said he would ship it soon, and he replied pretty quickly, and then I go to his account and now he's selling 6 air Jordans shoes for $172.99 each, am I being scammed or did I actually get a really good deal? It just doesn't make sense to me because he would be losing money from it

When did you purchase?

with that delivery date, I may be a bit worried.

You need to watch his feedback and items sold, if out of the blue they start selling large numbers of high-end items when in the past they were just buying or selling cheap stuff that may mean his account was hijacked.
The thing is they are selling close to other sales, both Jordan and Oculus sell in those price ranges but the new VRs are selling closer to $500.
Keep a close on his feedback for telltale non-delivery negs, that Feburay 11th delivery date still worries me.

Alright, thank you

You can ask seller to cancel since the delivery date is so far out (they don't have to)- but start with that. If no response after 2 days, and no tracking number, best to call ebay and see if they can cancel for you. There is no 'quick fix/automated system for this since the delivery date is past the 30 day MBG.

I mean, he did say he would ship soon

He just deleted the listing, should I report a claim?

Are the shoes still there? I saw one for that price but eBay has since removed them.

chanfre_88 · ‎01-02-2020

Yeah they're not there, his listing was removed and account not registered

Yep start a return asap, usually, eBay will beg off and tell you to do a claim with PayPal, bests to call them and explain it in person or the robots could have you waiting for several weeks to get your money.
