eBay

MY advise to ALL Ebay seller is to NEVER put any expensive or heavy items for sale on Ebay due to rampant buyer abuse and fraudulent SNAD claims by buyers whom ebay ALWAYS rips the sellers off for. 15 YEARS HERE ON EBAY. And the buyer abuse has never been so bad as it is now that Ebay encourages, promotes, and facilitates the buyers abusing the sellers when they file fraudulent SNAD claims against a seller by Ebay rewarding a fraudulent claim with stealing the money out of your account. Most recently I had a buyer file a claim stating an item was defective, so as a good seller, who knows they have no choice but to accept the return, which I did. Upon receipt of the item, I immediately got it out of the package and took pictures of the item next to the returned package so it would prove there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the item and that the buyer filed a fraudulent SNAD claim against me. I sent the buyer AND Ebay the pictures along with an explaination that this buyer simply lied and it was really just a buyers remorse claim instead. Ebay totally refunded this buyer my money and they had me pay for the return shipping label as well, wihch clearly rewarded and encourages this buyer to do this again. I did report this buyer, I did appeal the decision, and Ebay said that because I accepted the return that their decision is to side with a buyers fraudulent claim was fine. I said, that I had no idea there was NOTHING wrong with this item until it got back to me and saw there was nothing wrong with it. I took pictures to prove there is item is EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED and there is NOTHING defective about it what so ever. Ebay told me too bad.

I thank god every day I do business on Ebay that I REMOVED ALL my most expensive and very heavy(shipping) items for sale on Ebay just like most experienced good sellers do now, because if I had to loose that kind of money, it would be and extreme hardship, and not just food for the rescue horses that will have to wait because of fraudulent buyers that Ebay rewards with refunds out of the pocket of a horse rescue. Ebay customer service told me that they only believe what the buyers tell them, and totally disregard what the sellers state in any SNAD claim they get.

Would be worse if they took the sellers word ?

There are crooks in the world. There are also sleazeballs in the world that don't quite stoop to theft, but abuse the system to their own advantage.

In the eBay's "Good Ol' Days", when eBay did ZERO about fraud and allowed unprotected payments, the crooks and sleazeballs made their quickest killings as sellers. But eventually, paypal, credit card issuers and even the doofuses that ran eBay realized how much more money could be made if consumers were protected from fraud. The crooks and sleazeballs didn't suddenly go straight, they just became buyers.

Of the two options, it is better for eBay, paypal, card issuers, buyers and yes even for sellers to keep the crooks on the buyer side.

I give PHOTO PROOF

I can send eBay 147,000 photos proving I sent you the Mona Lisa and you could send them 147,000 photos proving I sent you Dogs Playing Poker. Neither one proves anything to eBay other than that we have 147,000 photos.

It is NOT OK for Ebay to call me a liar !

eBay is not calling anybody a liar. They are saying that buyers are protected in Not As Described claims and sellers are not. They don't, and can't, know which party is telling the truth.

I am genuinely sorry you got taken advantage of, but it is unfortunately an occasional cost of doing business.

Yeah just foolishly sold an amp recently hoped it would go closer do to the high shipping cost, no such luck, I print the label to ship the item out, the buyer then wants to cancel and threatens me with a negative if I don't cancel "right away" so I oblige and now I am out 35 dollars because of their cancellation for over a month and the USPS can decide not to refund it if they choose to do so, It's almost like they waited until they saw it says shipped before wanting to cancel.

I am NOT Nordstorms, Walmart, I do this to support rescue horses. Do they ? So, because other big box stores accept fraudulent returns, its OK for Ebay to force sellers to accept fraud being shoved down our throats. You are trying to justify fraud, and its NOT working.

No, you're not those stores, or any other store, but you are a seller on eBay and the rules are the rules. Don't waste your time getting angry at the bad guys, just be a good guy and roll with the flow.
And if you believe that honest customers at the stores you mentioned do not cover the cost of fraudulent returns, think again. It's the way of the world right now to offer "free" shipping, returns, replacements, food, shelter, schooling, clothing, transportation, phones, child care.....on and on. Someone pays for all of it.

Just as I said, don't sell anything you're not willing to give away. At least not on eBay!

They're tooting what a great find a plastic shower seat is, they sell them lot hotcakes. Ha! Can't give those things away.
Rick's cool but he's got a niche almost nobody else has--gambling addicts.

You are aware the show is staged?

Dave the Yup guy quit, they are all staged,
Pawn stars, storage wars, American pickers.

It is all fake, like Brandi's sweater puppies... all fake.

I just saw an older episode. Poor Brandi. She did not age well.

Dave quit after being rehired?

I read where after the show became popular the storage places were filled with people thinking it was a way to get rich quick, not realizing the lockers were salted with good items.

Many lost a lot of money.

Yeah, I used to shop at a thrift store that owned a storage facility. She opened the thrift to deal with the excess items she would get from nonpaying units. She said once in a great while you'd get an untouched unit that had some items worth some real money. Usually because someone died and didnt know they had the unit or a hoarder that couldnt afford to keep it. But they are rare. Mostly, people will come and tear apart thier units before losing them, taking anything of real value and leaving a real mess... If the unit looks like some has sifted through it, it probably has little value left, which is 90% of the units.
