Getting scammed

Hello everyone who reads this. I recently tried selling a camera and thought I received the money. I shipped the camera to the buyer without looking into it and according to an expert seller I was scammed, the email given to me for the payment was a fake. Is there any way I can either get the camera back or find a way to be compensated? I still have the tracking number of the package and the username of buyer but that's it.

Why does that not surprise me in the least? OP left sooooo many unanswered questions it's difficult to figure out what happened, where they got the "expert" seller advice, how they shipped the item and where it was shipped to. Obvious scam from the beginning and seller has very little recourse although she does have the individuals name and full address, if it's even legitimate, support from law enforcement is probably going to be minimal unless there are multiple reports regarding this individual.

I saw some threads these days from some fresh sellers about buyers have asking to complete transactions outside of ebay, now i realize why they doing that.

Was the expert from customer service?  They are anything but experts.  They are outsourced contracted labor over seas and the replies they gave you are scripted and programmed.  Never trust Ebay customer service because they are NOT Ebay employees.  Go to this link if you ever need help:

These are credible US cs agents that actually work for Ebay and are more likely help you with your issue. Many positive outcomes posted here in their ability to be helpful.


 

Oh, come on. velvet@ebay.com might as well be in the Philippines.
