So apparently the new seller trend going on is a seller will put "see" or "Read description" in the listing title. This is generally means that once you read the description the seller terms are to Direct message them and crypto payment is only accepted . I have reported these listings over an over. So I decided to run an Ai bot crawl search on ebays listings and found over 2,100 listings that only accept crypto as a payment. I have called several times and talked to support and they don't seem to really care. They say its not allowed and they will report it, but nothing ever happens. I guess ebay doesn't mind sellers not paying any seller fees anymore or crypto only sellers not having to accept returns of defective items or items not as described.
Keep reporting these scammers…there are so many that eBay has trouble shutting them down in a timely manner but they do eventually. It is the nature of e-commerce platforms. Mercari and Etsy have loads of obvious scammer sellers too.
If the buyer takes the transaction off of Ebay by paying with Crypto, they loose any buyer protection they have, so the seller could do whatever they want.
Ebay won't do anything because the transaction wasn't on Ebay.
exactly ! and the seller doesnt have to pay seller fees or IRS gain taxes at end of year, the buyer doesnt pay taxes either. Basically ebay is providing a platform for illegal activity and doing nothing about it. IRS arrested and charged founders and Ceo of Tornado Exchange for this earlier this week.
