SCAM

[sofistankovsk-0]

warning new scam!

bunch of buyer bidding on your items seemingly unconnected 

they buy stuff and pay through PP-and they pay top $$$$ ....on average about 20%more than I expected per item ...after while one by one comming out claiming non delivery

even when tracking shows otherwise

eBay off course sides with scammers awards each of them refund

nothing helps ..tracking..signature of delivery..scan of courier mails ..delivery conformations..

one buyer even posts on line my product for sale in another country for extra $$$$ profit -I point out that ad which runs on line to eBay rep. only to get most idiotic replay in return...wonder who are these people assessing my account ..where do they find them..?

to all my mails eBay reps just sends  usual condescending  copy/paste run-a-round idiotic replays and then just stops replaying at all -when I caught them lying thats is 

meanwhile ''buyers'' go back and forth just taking a p@#ss..first they claim non delivery..then not as described item and want to return stuff I never sold ..etc

Just plain madness

fortunately info from another ebay mamber helps me connect  dots ..2 of my 4 ''buyers'' belong to the same internet forum probably others too..so  looks like they hatch this new scam on that forum (at least new to me )to gang up on me ..and mos def on other too..so watch out

If you have ONLINE VIEWABLE tracking that proves delivery, you win any item not received case filed against you. Did you upload the tracking information into the case? Or did you just sit there and let it time out?

Which is the ONLY seller protection ebay gives with any consistancy.

All the other claims the OP reports buyers making are almost always won by the buyer, resulting in the seller being out the money and item.

OP, scammers target newer sellers and high priced quick flip, high demand merchandise.  The odds are good that you haven't been hit by a gang, just by the overwhelming individual numbers of scammers operating on the site.  And there is little you can do to stop them.

Your best bet is to not list anything on ebay that you can not afford to lose or lose the money you could get for the item.  Scammers don't mind paying extra if they know that they will get it all back later.  Get a lot more experience by selling lower risk items first and then work your way up to more valuable ones.

But was it ONLINE VIEWABLE tracking?

[ymeagainlord]

And fwiw (not that you likely care) your thread title is offensive

All of that has to be online viewable. As far as I know Ebay won't accept anything else - not receipts, not postal statements, etc. If you have all of those you can appeal if you can get an actual coherent person other than a CS drone to look at it.  I've heard that if you post on Ebay's Facebook or Twitter page that's much more effective in getting assistance from a person who can actually help.

I feel that is almost as bad a crime as any scamming going on ebay.

Shouldn't help about an ebay problem come from the ebay company help services itself and not some outside source that has no direct provable ties other than a name which can be easily faked?

[mzmarlasgardens]

I had a woman say that she didn't rec the merchandise..tracking says different...she even said to me item was wonderful!   ebay not too with it these days....and what happened to our favorite sellers???

 don't tell me to fix myself.. I am fine...ebay needs to rethink these things it does to ebay website.

Of course it should, but this is Ebay. Sellers are on their own and shouldn't expect help, even when it's deserved and needed.

The only way you would not win a case at least initially is if the item was delivered to the wrong address and this was documented with the intranet tracking which clearly tells where the package has been delivered. Postmasters can give you this info upon request.  SCAMMERS CANNOT GET AWAY WITH THAT ONE. All you need to do is upload the intranet tracking details directly from USPS.FED EX etc to Ebay. Once they have that then they know EXACTLY where packages have been delivered. 

[vintagecraze50]

Have you provided Ebay with an official USPS, FED EX ,etc intranet tracking details which you can obtain from the postmaster and upload to Ebay? This info shows exactly where, including address, name of recipiet where the package went.

Once they claim INR and are found that they may be lying, if they go and file a SNAD after that then they look mighty suspicious and then you might win a case.
