eBay Needs To Kick This Buyer Off The Platform

[@christinemendes6425]

Beyond eBay, it's scary that people like this live, work, drive, etc. amongst us.

[@KimChristian-q7t]

I agree they should absolutely be looking at the buyer more. I had one the other day that I reported to EBay and EBay kept saying I had reported buyer multiple times , I said no I have not. He is a first time buyer. She put me on hold to look into it. Came back and apologized,he has been reported 48 times but by different sellers.iI was told they would look into it. I blocked the buyer but could not believe that after 48 complaints he hasn’t been banned because I would bet if it was seller they would be banned for life.

[@insidetheunicorn]

Recently had a buyer make a false item not as described case and open a return. So after forcing me to pay for return shipping, they send the package but then put a stop shipment on it before it gets to me. I warn ebay that I suspect a fraud is taking place, and the ebay rep on the phone agrees with me and makes notes detailing the suspicious activity, but a few hours later I get a massage saying the buyer had asked ebay to step in and resolve the return case, and that ebay has decided to refund the buyer due to the item being successfully returned to me. I of course appeal this decision, talking to an ebay rep on the phone and detailing exactly how they committed their scam and showing the return tracking details as clear evidence that the item was never delivered back to me. The ebay rep submits my appeal for me and assures me that the original decision was clearly a mistake and that this appeal will most certainly solve the issue. 2 Hours later I get a message from a different ebay rep saying " I have reviewed your appeal, and while I understand it can be frustrating that you believe the item was not defective, since your item was successfully returned to you, we have decided to uphold the original decision and side with the buyer. This decision is final and you may not appeal it further." So the scammer buyer not only gets my $500 item, but they convince ebay to pull the $500 payment from my account and deliver it back to them on a silver platter, all because two separate ebay employees couldn't be bothered to read more than 2 sentences of my detailed and thorough messages informing them of the scam, or even to check the attached tracking information clearly showing the item was never returned to me, before they both side with the buyer like brain-dead zombies and inform me that i have no further recourse. At least the last ebay rep had the courtesy to tell me she's sorry that I feel frustrated for being wrong about the buyer who they knew was actually right all along. After going through this horrible experience, I now preface every message I send to Ebay customer service with "Please take care to read this message in full from start to finish before replying or taking an action related to it. Thank you in advance ."

[@johngray1026]

I had a very similar thing happen to me on eBay as well. Extremely abusive / inappropriate messages from the buyer. Also claimed I was selling other items from underneath them 🤷🏼‍♂️ - I had the items stopped in transit and re-routed back to me. Contacted eBay, showed them all the messages and they sided in my favor. They make up an extremely small minority of buyers, but take up a large amount of sellers time. Keep up the vids! You got me started on eBay :)

[@freetimeflip6438]

Right. If you have a high quality listing with a good description and not the cheapest price with offers open the interloper scammers will always just give the worst lowballs.. Thanks for showing your cards.. Automatic Ban. You can tell if its a new buyer into their category after a while so I wont ban the new buyers that have questions about how its packaged. Those buyers are the most work at first but they always come back after they get their item.

[@Nicolas-ic4dt]

I think it's the same buyer who targets other resellers on youtube. The same kind of wording. If it's the same one, he'll return you a box full of disgusting trash. If you block him, he will create another account from the same address and buy from you again. You absolutely must report him.

[@jessemiller4939]

i totally agree with that on youtube sellers on ebay quote. pay attention to the hidden meanings in names and addresses u send out too

[@GhostPicker1]

Tip… roll pennants on a cut down empty paper towel tube or gift wrap tube then stuff tube with choice of packing. Never had an issue. Also old FELT creased pennants are rejuvenated with a steam iron.

[@Antiqueexcavator]

When I sell an item that is more money than I’m comfortable losing I always call the buyer and say the following: “Hello, this is Mitch. You purchased the (item) from me on eBay. With all the fraud going on I just wanted to make sure you actually ordered it and no one hijacked your account or credit card”. This gives me the opportunity to get a feel for the buyer and also lets the buyer know that I am able to reach him. Only once did I have the feeling something was off and in that case I cancelled the sale. Every other time the buyer thanked me for going the extra mile to protect his account and since I sell a lot of collectibles, I’ve often had a nice conversation about the item and collecting in general.

[@SouthernVermontVintage]

Best thing said here today, ✌🏼💚🙏🏻your a true OG reseller

[@aprilmgreer]

That buyer's message sounds almost identical to the one that Wick got on his Flipping Junk channel, and that buyer was from Chicago as well and did the political rant, etc. She then sent him literal garbage twice. Look at his videos "eBay buyer returned a hate package and eBay refunded the scammer" and the follow-up to it, which is "eBay buyer scammed me and returns used underwear and rotting food instead of item sold...again." She had a different user name the second time.

[@travelingoldsoul]

I think its the same too. Poorly worded the same way. Hopefully he doesnt get some nasty packages also.

[@malicesmom]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@krisk4513]

Whenever I have a buyer that asks too many questions or precarious questions I block them. In my experience buyers like that have only led to unrealistic expectations like paying for used but literally expecting new and ridiculous returns. I provide a high degree of customer service for realistic buyers and I simply don't have time for people like that.

[@that_simple_dad]

Wow, I’m sorry that happened to you! I recently had to block a buyer that would not stop messaging me. They bought an original Xbox system from me that was in excellent condition. I had pictures of it working and everything. This buyer then messages me saying “It has a crack in it. I want a refund.” Then, they accused me of sending a cracked console. I told them to open a return request and that I would be glad to refund them once I received it back. They ignored my return suggestions and said it worked (they still wanted to keep it), but continued with the refund demands. I kid you not, they demanded a refund probably 10-15 times! I even refunded them $10 to cover most of the shipping, but they ignored it and still demanded a full refund. I had to call eBay 4 times (no kidding!) in a span of 4 days because this buyer would not stop messaging me. I could not reason at all with this individual and felt like a broken record repeating the same things over and over. Ebay told me that I could stop responding and that I could block them and thankfully I was finally able to. Haven’t heard a peep for over a week. People can be crazy!

[@nannettemustillo5408]

Sounds like the buyer either wanted something free or isn’t mentally well. I do believe it would be best to block them. I wouldn’t give them the chance to do this to you again. You’re very kind and I hate to see kind people treated so badly.

[@tinaables]

So strange! I had almost the same thing happen to me. I sold an item on Jan, 8th and shipped on Jan. 8th. I also have two day shipping. Customer opened a case on me Jan 10th with their credit card bank that item was never received. Tracking shows that on the 10th the package was in Brooklyn where is was suppose to be, just not delivered yet. Customer opened case in less than 48 hours (remind you, two day shipping). I hope that Ebay backs the seller and not the buyer trying to scam.

[@luchea32]

I had a buyer open a return on an item we discussed and told her I would sell it to her for half off because of the damage. She in turn files with a photo of other damage. Funny thing was, it hadn't even left my state. She bought it at night and filed the next morning.

[@margaretwilson5681]

[@1ducatinut]

I’ve had a few first time buys that I was very skeptical about shipping to since accounts were only a few days old and items purchased where more expensive than I normally sell. Well so far all of these have worked out, knock on wood.

[@SouthernVermontVintage]

We all were 1st time buyers at one time, ✌🏼💚🙏🏻

[@kimberlygorcey4290]

I got one of those buyers in Michigan, he complain first because it had not arrived before Christmas, which he had just purchased the item on the 30th of November, which still is cutting it close as far as it going through shipping and getting there on time. He complained because he was held up in his state at one of the post office for two weeks. He filed a refund through ebay but complained because ebay wouldn't do anything because it was held up in shipping, he then got his bank involved. I got the post office to return the item. He got his money back, I got the item to resell. he was not getting both, like he wanted.

[@AllHaleResale]

Some buyers are entirely unhinged. It's sad that eBay is so protective of them rather than trusted sellers. I'm so sorry this happened to you. You are right, eBay needs to do something about buyers like this. I've had another seller attack me over shipping prices, she was insistent on how much shipping would cost if I used this certain priority mail box, and that "she's only trying to help since my store was so small and I would likely never get business with shipping so high" (My store was a month old lol, and I calculate shipping ahead of time to not charge buyers too much 😊) The box she insisted I get? Discontinued for a year, and my shipping price was cheaper than using it lol I had to block her over very inappropriate things she had said to me. Some people need to relax, to act that way is not okay.

[@xjkbbls]

I had one guy tell me I had sent him the wrong Franklin mint car. $160. He requested a refund and the car he wanted. I had not sent the car yet and told him that. I also told him the order was cancelled and that he was blocked.

I remember watching a video from FlippingJunk and he also got a "return" from someone in Chicago and the message was very similar. But the return was literally just a box of trash. I'm gonna go on a limb and say it's connected. Hopefully ebay does something.

[@wizloon9052]

I have never had a problem with a first-time buyer (selling for 20+ years). Back when people were able to send payments by mailing a personal check, I think there was one first-time buyer who took forever to mail the check, but it eventually arrived.

Years ago, I had a buyer who was abusive and threatening. It took almost a month of Ebay and I going back and forth about it. Buyer eventually was suspended for a few months. She tried again when she got back, Ebay warned her she would be removed permanently. I'm sure she was fuming, but she left me alone. I'm betting she tried it with others. Another buyer sent threats, then had his nephew in another state try it on me. NOT kidding. After Ebay investigated, BOTH were removed. You have to wonder, huh? LOL

[@samanthacalciano8211]

Sorry to hear this happened to you. I had an awful experience with someone in IL. Only they sold me something. Gave me the wrong tracking number. I contacted ebay then correct tracking number was provided. Then once I got the box items inside not as seen in the photos in the listing. Never got one of the items and one of the dolls dresses wasn't even the same so contacted ebay again. Thank goodness I got a partial refund. I didn't leave a review as they were mentally off giving other buyers reviews a hard time in an extreme written way (which the other reviews weren't up when I purchased). I blocked them then that afternoon another person under a different account asks me about the thing I just bought. Like if I was going to sell it. Not even joking they were from the same town. Blocked them then a few months later in December under another name asked me again if the item I bought back in July was for sale. Then took down their message. I blocked them. Then under another name sent me multiple messages asking me giving me a sob story how they shouldn't have sold it. Had the nerve to tell me the price to list it for in a buy it now format. What was crazy was each time they asked it was in messages under other items I had for sale (not even related to the item they were asking me for). Just because I buy and sell off of eBay doesn't mean I am selling what I just bought. I have the right to collect things I want and sell what I want. Red flags: were telling me what to sell and what to sell it for in buy it now. The original seller was never mentioned. Then remembering the original picture of the item I thought I was buying didn't match the item they were trying to supposedly trying to get back from me. Item I purchased in July was given away as a gift so not even in my hands anymore and even if it was they are off their rocker thinking I would sell to such rude folks. So I just keep blocking and contacting eBay. But ya annoying and should be banned

[@rosestill6556]

My son quit selling on eBay because of the over 600.00 tax rule. I see now that this was postponed. My question is how do you get receipts from garage sale sellers. They do not want to give you one,therefore you have no proof for how much profit you made and then have to use gross sales rather than net. What do most sellers do? Just started watching your channel,very informative. I use to sell myself back when eBay first started. I’m now 74 and do not anymore. I may consider selling again as I still love thrifting and garage sales.

[@skullcrackers187]

Just write down what you paid and the date you bought it. That's all you can do.

[@amerricanafinds]

Kevin as a fellow former Californian I'm inclined to agree with the buyer. I think you are better off in VA. Better for you to stay clear of Illionois as the new CA and the old CA.

I recently sold a Monopoly game. It is a first time buyer with feedback from one person which says “hope to see you soon”.my alarm bells went up but I was conflicted about continuing with the sale. My issue is it is an international sale from Australia to Mexico. My shipping cost charged to the buyer was less than the actually shipping cost. So I paid an extra $20 dollars out of my own pocket to send the game. Everything so far has gone smoothly. I have been tracking the item and can see the item has cleared customs in Mexico and is with the postal carrier for delivery in the country since 4th of January. I honestly feel like I’m going to be scammed in some way but I know I have to give this person the benefit of doubt & try not to be judgemental. It says estimated time to be delivered to customer is between 2 - 26 February so I’m on high alert. As it is an international sale I have said to treat the item as abandoned if it is not delivered as the cost to return to me would be too high. I’m on high alert and waiting for something to happen but am wondering what eBay will do as I have done everything right on my end.

[@marilyncleavall6527]

Something similar happened to me. Sent the buyer a DVD which was played once and cleaned before sending. When she received it she said it had spaghetti O's all over the cover.

Hi Kevin Greetings from New Jersey. Another You Tuber (Flipping Junk) had a similar experience a few months ago and i believe it is the same buyer.

I think that customer is a viewer that opened an Ebay account just to attack you. They were so impatient to mess with you that they couldn't even wait for the item to arrive.

@@SouthernVermontVintage Leave a KZbin comment? Sure, lots of times! But seriously, I don't think it was a crazy buyer that arbitrarily bought from Kevin. I think the customer was seeking him out (not the Funko Pop). Based on how crazy/personal the buyer's comments were, I think an Ebay Rep would find that plausible as well and justification for feedback removal or refund cancelation. I've dealt with a few "extreme" buyer reactions and when it's too outlandish and over-the-top the seller wins by simply contacting Ebay and not engaging the customer.

Why does ebay allow customers to open a return when item is still in transit? Complete fail. I just had a request on a $150 purchase and tracking shows delivered on the 30th.

Ebay is s side bit for me. I sell in UK and usually post with Royal Mail as they very good for not loosing parcels. Anyway even if I buy simple second class postage with them on ebay there is always tracking number provided. Recently had a person claiming that didn't get the product. So I go into tracking and it shows they tried to deliver, nobody answer and item is waiting at depot to pick up. In UK if we miss the postie we get a card with info about where the parcel is(you can also choose a neighbour that they can leave the parcel with or safe place like shed etc). So I tell the guy what's going on. He opened the case and wants his money back and asks me why he needs to go to post office and pick it up🙄 well I responded to it and waited. Never heard anything back. Asked ebay to step in and they actually said I was right, no need to refund and all comments from that buyer will be removed. I forgot the whole case and few weeks after the item comes back to me, labelled as not picked up. So I refunded the guy anyway as it was right thing to do.

Ebay needs to rate buyers by the number of purchases divided by the number of returns or claims. If a buyer makes 20 purchases and returns or claims 7 purchases, that buyer would have a rating of 65%. Then, as sellers, we could filter out any buyer who has lower rating than 90% and other sellers could set their threshold as they see fit. We should also be allowed to apply a price surcharge to any buyer who has a high return rate, to cover potential claims. This would drive the bad buyers off the Ebay platform and benefit the good buyers and all Ebay sellers.

eBay has sided with me as a seller each time I’ve been taking advantage of.

[@PhenomenalPhindsATL]

Wick at Flipping Junk got a message and return almost identical to that, he made a video on it. The person sent him trash for the return.

[@joedaly4277]

Saw that, too. Sounds exactly the same. Wear gloves when opening the return package, Kevin.

[@jessemiller4939]

the only way theyll side with the seller is when you have to call the buyers city police dept. on them ,then u give ebay the police report number and email the report made, that is, of course in the case of theft.

What is the baseball item that is hung over your tv. Love the channel. Just started watching

[@otnipdrofflips6893]

Lol Kevin! I think I would re-market the Damb it dolls as a 'Ebay Buyer Doll'. I have had bad buyers before but that one has to go down in the books!

[@matthewcolicigno8132]

I think Flipping Junk had a similar crazy return request like this. I believe the buyer sent back garbage (literally garbage). I'd recommend simply requesting they return the item for a refund in a short message and block them immediately. Also, I would report the buyer as abusive language. I know eBay does permanently ban person by name and SSN. Rare but it happens.

Did you cancle order sence 3 days out? Sorry if i missed it. Thank you for helping me relax every nite after watching granddaughthers all day. Found your show about a year ago. ❤

[@productboy3187]

Which is why if someone sends me a message in broken English, they go right on my blocked bidder list.

[@POWERBOY331]

Lol We get couple buyer like that every year. Me and my wife just laugh and move on. Not much else you can do.

[@TammyD_123]

I’m from. Illinois and I think you’re great! I’m sorry people are so mean. It’s unnecessary.

[@Affordableresellers]

I feel you on the Funko Buyers and newbies! My 1 and only negative feedback is from a low baller Funko buyer! I had 2 new Funko pops listed as a lot as they were part of a special holiday set. BIN was 19.99 free ship. There offer was 10.99. I countered with 14.99. Accepted. Cost me 13.00 to ship coast 2 coast. Gets it and then leaves me negative feedback comparing about shipping and how people shouldn’t buy from me… dirtbags

[@cryptowizard2327]

I would write those people back that left you that feedback comments and say WTH are you talking about! People are getting crazy now days, I sell on eBay was well and have had some crazy returns with really weird messages as well... I mean what are we supposed to do. Kevin you do a great job all you can do is shake your head and move on.

[@lindawilson3913]

I haven't had bad feedback. But what irritates me is when someone wins a bid and then two weeks have passed and they still haven't paid or replied to emails. I wish I could let negative feedback for those type of people.

[@williameggert3190]

Let it go Bro. The world is full of folks that haven't a clue. I'm sure You have plenty of good folks buying from You. Focus on them.

[@TrailerTrashFlips]

Flipping Junk had one of those abusive buyers with their insane manifestos. The buyer was sending garbage back in their returns so wear gloves and make a video of the unboxing if you do get the return.

[@teraline7488]

That's exactly what came to mind, when I saw this. I wonder if he's targeting KZbinrs to get his "message" out. :/

[@Rustbelt_Resales]

Wow that is ridiculous! I feel that this was definitely NOT about the product, and more about the fact that your address was from Virginia. Also, I saw that Bills pennant when you moved that Fins one and was excited. GO BILLS! (I'm from Buffalo)

[@lisakilgore5429]

So sorry you had that happen with a buyer. I had the same thing happen at Christmas in 2022...buyer was verbally abusive and just downright hateful over a hallmark ornament he purchased that he said arrived destroyed on purpose!! I offered to take back...he would have no part of that! Said I sent it that way on purpose and he expected his money to be returned immediately. Ebay sympathized with me verbally but did nothing to remove the abusive feedback...just told me it wouldn't hurt my seller rating. So I had to deal with having it on my site til about a month ago. Here's to hoping they handle your situation in a better way!
