eBay

This is the first time I had a problem like this, but I knew something was up when I noticed that the seller had 0 feedback, I should have canceled the transaction but I noticed just I shipped it, I took the chance.

I sold an Intel i7-9700, few days later, buyer says it didn't work, so I accepted a return, paid for return label, and sent it to them. Today I got the return, they put a roll of haloween tape in it.

I want to know how ebay helps sellers with something like this I took pictures and a video of opening the package, and sent it, but want to know what to expect. I have 100% positive feedback in both buying and selling.

Crazy how I limited to who I sell to, and this still happened.

Guess what everyone, another person (in my own city) tried to scam me. I sold an i7-7700 CPU, they sent back a completely different CPU and with damage, I uploaded a video of me opening the package, and you can see the serial number differs from my original listing, and there's clearly physical damage on it.

Video does not exist. Were you told to remove it?

Yes there's been a ton of posts here about it, moreso lately

Yes, I removed the video, they claimed someone in their warehouse messed up and sent the wrong CPU, which I highly doubt, because this looked like the CPU was already damaged from them, and they probably tried to scam other people. I can't be 100% certain if they were trying to scam, but my percentage of thought of how high they were trying to scam is like 95% lol. They had a legit company email and website and had 100% karma as buyers, going by iCompNY http://www.icompny.com/ (not their ebay name.)

Yeah, but when I pay eBay a large portion to sell my items, they have to do what I say as well. And if I say I ain't selling to someone because I don't trust them, I cancel.
