Scamming someone is rarely done in teams. It’s one on one. Your Good Guy can claim item is defective, send a bag of rocks with the label you are required to pay for, and they will get their refund and the item. He doesn’t need help.
These two were working separately. This guy that responded so quickly after it sold has a system.
They both do, but here is the “loser’s” thing. He sits at his computer all day, refreshing the ‘recently sold’ filter. That’s how he found you.
The good guy used the ‘newly listed’ filter.
Because there are scam buyers out there who know how to use the system, I never list anything that I can’t afford to lose. These graphics cards are very popular. There are scammers selling and buying these things. With so much fraud, I’m surprised eBay allows them to be traded here.
eBay will always side with the buyer. This process is probably completed by bots. Human eyes may see some, but not all. They have no desire to hear your side. They aren’t going to look at your interactions.
Well, they might look into the messages AFTER you report the buyer for abusing the MBG.
But you have to be scammed before you can report it as a scam.
Once reported, eBay may sanction the offending account, but that doesn’t help you. You’re still out the money and the item.
