SELLING FOR MANY YEARS, MORE THEN ONCE I WAS SCAMMED AND SO MANY OTHER SELLERS ON THIS VERY PLATFORM, MAIN CONCERN IS WHEN CASE IS OPENED WITH A CREDIT CARD
from personal experience
PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTIES REGISTERING THEIR ADDRESSES IN UNITED STATES
(MOSTLY STATE OF DE) THEY USE FORWARDING SERVICE FROM DE TO THEIR COUNTRIES TO AVOID PAYING CRAZY GLOBAL SHIPPING FEES, THEY USE BOGUS PHONE NUMBERS TO REGISTERS ON EBAY PLATFORM
THEY THEY BUY 10 GARBAGE ITEMS TO GET THEM SELF A FIRST STAR, THEN THEY ORDER SOMETHING VERY EXPENSIVE, IN MY CASE IT WAS NEW IPHONE 13 PRO MAX, WHILE BEING IN RUSSIA, AND EBAY CAN SEE THAT BY HIS IP, HE OPENED A CASE WITH CC ONLY 2 DAYS AFTER I SENT OUT THE ITEM, CLAIMING THAT I SENT OUT AN EMPTY BOX, ANOTHER CASE I SENT OUT EXPENSIVE GUITAR TO UKRAINE, GUY OPENED A CASE WITH CC CLAIMING HE TOOK GUITAR TO AN X-RAY PLAY AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE NECK HAD A REPAIR WHEN IN REALITY IT WASN'T, THERE WERE MORE CASES LIKE THAT., IN ALL OF THIS CASES CREDIT CARD WOULD OF COURSE TAKE THE BUYERS SIDE AND I ENDED UP TAKING A DOUBLE LOSE (MONEY AND ITEM)
THIS SITUATION COULD EASILY BEEN PREVENTED BY EBAY
RED FLAGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PICKED UP BUT POORLY MISSED AND STILL IGNORED :
1. THEY COULD SEE THAT REGISTERING PERSON IS IN THE DIFFERENT COUNTRY BY HIS IP AND HE IS REGISTERING HIS ADDRESS IN THE UNITED STATES
2. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST RED FLAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED, THE ADDRESS AND PHONE VERIFICATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED, WHERE THE SCAMMER WOULD FAIL
I THINK EBAY ALLOWED THIS SITUATION TO HAPPEN AND SHOULD BE HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR PEOPLES LOSES UNTILL THEY CHANGE THE POLICY TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DON'T HAPPEN
