Was I hacked by a buyer??

[thegoodthebadtheugly]

I had an item listed with a best offer option. The buyer sent me an offer and   wrote a note along with the offer stating  he would also cover the shipping cost. I accepted and sent out the invoice without the full amount of the shipping and the buyer paid that. After getting back from the post office I contacted the buyer and asked for the additional money for shipping. Needless to say he refused..saying it was too much money. I then contacted ebay and put in a dispute. Somehow the note form the best offer now was changed to " I WOULD COVER THE COST OF SHIPPING " it was in my ebay name!! Has anyone had anything like this??

i've decide to sum it all up...

you were not hacked, you don't get it....and unless you learn , you'll end up doing it again.

and the only thing that was hacked....was my nerve, everytime i see your post.

you were wrong and you either face up to it, your listing was flawed... or you don't and take the dings, and such.... but stopping trying blame wherew blame isn't....

Well, I gave-up trying to help on the first page.

**He could not BE helped** because he simply refused to accept responsability for his own errors in the matter. My posts were aimed at getting him to face that responsability.

Correct.  There was no hacking involved.  There was, however, yet another glitch discovered in eBay's mobile app which *caused* the OP to think that his account and/or his message archive had been tampered with.    Nope.  Just another eBay progamming deficiency of which they've been notified.

This is not directed at you @tiramisu41, just a general reply. The OP has already accepted what happened with their transaction and the BO message was determined to have a glitch. The OP knows that the glitch does not affect the outcome of this transaction yet people are going on for pages as if the OP was still fighting them on it. If the OP was able to move on, maybe others should consider it as well.

Several cures for this. Don't have ebay application open. Don't have one touch buying. Don't carry phone in back pocket. Don't have one touch wake up phone. 

I think one touch buying is dangerous, both ebay and paypal were hacked, remember?

Im not kidding when I say there is a serious reading comprehension problem across this country.  What part of the following sentence do you not understand... WAS I HACKED BY A BUYER..  .stop babbling about lessons learned ..gets what he deserves....Turns out YOU are the one that couldnt figure out about the glitch that only a couple of sellers ACTUALLY could post important information about...for ALL sellers in the future. Instead you start making general statements completely unreleated to anything important to the discussion!!!

LOL, exactly...however if the OP would have posted the screenshot of the "glitch" to begin with and had not waited until post #141, this could have been a much shorter thread!   

[takikawa4]

You keep saying that. Why, though, would anyone hack you over $15? Or even $22? Doesn't make any sense at all.

[kattinsanity]

Maybe the OP should post a screenshot of the message from the buyer saying he would supply the shipping label because he could get such a better deal on shipping than the OP?  That would solve the whole mystery.

For the buyer to issue a label he would have to have package dimensions and weight of each~~OP tossed that option when he took them to the post office and mailed them.

OP is happy with everyone that told him it was a ebay glich~~the rest of us can't read as far as he's concerned.  That shows he only wanted one answer and wasn't willing to accept any other answer anyway. 

[thegoodthebadtheugly]

If you read the ENTIRE post it was 63.00.. Turns out there is a "glitch" in EBAYS best offer..if you took the time to read that post also..

[kattinsanity]

Even if there was a glich and it was the buyer who said he would pay the shipping cost~~he did pay.  The shipping cost  was $15.00 and the buyer paid it.  So it makes no difference who said they would pay the shipping cost~~the buyer paid what he was required to pay.  So~~glich or not~~the buyer paid the shipping.  If it was indeed the OP saying he would pay shipping, he did.  The "glich" didn't change the outcome~~buyer & seller paid what they were each REQUIRED to pay.

[thegoodthebadtheugly]

First off..when I recieved a MSG from the buyer UNDER his NAME..he stated he would cover the shipping,,,after he DIDNT and i said I was contacting EBAY when I sent a copy of our exchanges the NAME was somehow changed to MY NAME saying I WOULD COVER THE SHIPPING COST...dosent that seem suspecious ?? It did to me..All I wanted to know was IF ANYONE ELSE HAD A SIMILIAR EXPERIENCE..Out of all the so called experts only 2 actually knew what I was talking about..the others were just posting unwanted babble about nonsence

[kattinsanity]

I suggest you take a look at your own listing.  Under shipping details it states shipping is $15.00 and additional items are FREE SHIPPING.

Then I suggest you look at ebays policies~~you can NOT ask for more money for shipping or more money for the item from a buyer than what is stated in the terms in your listing.

#1~~you listed this at fixed price $50.00 and you chose the option to accept offers.

#2~~the buyer made an offer of $30.00 and you accepted his $30.00 offer.

#3~~you THOUGHT the listing stated $15.00 shipping on each item~~it actually stated $15.00 for the 1st item and FREE shipping on each additional item.

#4~~buyer bought all 4 items you had available and paid the $15.00 shipping charge as stated in your listing.

#5~~YOU say he said he would send a shipping label to you BUT you ran off to the post office and shipped them and paid $78.00 shipping.

#6~~NOW you are going against the terms of your own listing and asking ebay to force the buyer to pay you an additional $63.00 in shipping cost.

#7~~BAD mistake to ask ebay to step in when you are breaking ebays own policies for sellers~~asking for more money than is stated in the terms of the listing.

#8~~you may find ebay just might suspend your selling privilege's for breaking a very important ebay policy~~asking for more money from a buyer than you are entitled to.

#9~~IF the buyer said he would cover the shipping~~he did cover the shipping.  The shipping was $15.00 and he covered it. 

#10~~accept your own mistake and own it~~don't expect ebay to back you up when you are clearly  broke an ebay policy by demanding more money from a buyer after the sale.

[thatsallfolks]

Maybe someone (not the OP) who claims this is a BO glitch could explain one more time how the OP's name got substituted for the buyer's name in the offer to pay shipping? That's a remarkably selective "glitch".

It still looks to me like the OP doesn't understand how he set up his listing (which, BTW, wasn't an auction, even thought the OP keeps calling it that).
