Perfume Allergy Buyer Scam

[cinaste1]

Has anyone else been hit by this buyer scam? She gets to read book, claims she has a perfume allergy and that there is perfume on the book, contacts eBay to return book (not me, of course), ships it back to me at my expense and gets her money back. Nice deal.

Did the book smell like your perfume?

If every seller she does that to reports her for the exact same reason, ebay will take notice and she will lose her buyer's protection,

I'm a guy. Infrequently use cologne. I cannot smell anything coming from book.

Do I have to call eBay to report her or is that even worth the effort.

You would think eBay would require a note from a doctor verifying her allergy.

Seriously?

You would think eBay would require a note from a doctor verifying her allergy.

An intelligent person would think that a person with a perfume or "smell" alergry would not be buying used items online.  eBay does not require that buyers be 'smart'.  It is not ebay's money that is lost here for they make $$$ on the returns as well and yet again if you relist and sell it one more time.

How many people have used this scam? Seriously!
