I just wanted you to know I appreciate your reply. I appreciate everyone's, good or bad, but I took your advice and let the process work. They guy did get his money back but Ebay covered my loss and on my 2nd appeal I think I got ahold of someone that looked over what I sent in. He wasn't in a place to keep the buyer's money but helped me. Overall it's a win but I was hoping to teach the buyer a lesson to save someone else he may do this too. I am happy Ebay sided with me, it was a little rough for a bit but If someone else is reading this that is going through the same thing follow profitweb's example. Also I did get lucky in a way. If my scammer wouldn't have been so cheap and just took a pic of something he had lying around and sent it back to me I would have been SOL. That's not really Ebay's fault because it's he said, she said. If you have some real evidence then fight the case. If you just think you can sway the Ebay rep to your side then you should probably stop while you're behind. Scummy people are everywhere and they get even scummier when they can hide behind a computer screen. I just have to concentrate on my great buyers that chat me up about Fallout stuff and slip them a little discount for buying from me again. Oh, always take a sec to reverse image search that supposed wrong item immediately. If you do get lucky like I did use it to scare the buyer into telling the truth, you may get lucky and not have to go through all this mess...... maybe.
