Wow...it's crazy what eBay sellers think they can get away with. Glad you returned them! Great video.

[@richardburne1495]

If I’m buying something expensive on eBay I always go to see the sellers rating and make sure that he has 100% positive feedback if not I don’t purchase just so I have the peace of mind knowing I might not get scammed

I hate people who abuse their phones. Man how hard it is to keep your phone in good condition? My first phone was the iPhone 5s and I bought it on the launch day. Today it still looks like I just bought it.

E-bay policy, images form part of the description, if you don't receive what is advertised, the seller has to pay for the return postage.

[@auvorthegreat9448]

David Murnane well maybe he wanted the challenge for repairs and parts

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

Not always. I once received a necklace which was clearly *very* different to its' picture and was also a cheap knock-off (I ordered a branded one). The seller blocked all contact. I contacted ebay and said the seller was selling fake items and that it differed to the photo and they told me (although I provided them with the photos), that to prove that, I had to hire a professional "judge" who looks at the necklace and writes a statement about it. Only then they could decide, if I could get my money back. (Note: the necklace was like 30 bucks and getting these judges statements is like 300 bucks)

[@PSSMPlay]

He could post the seller, then we all go an give him a shit review. Positive (0) Neutral (1) Negative (134678)

[@ThePandaKingFTW]

Sellers like this tend to have bots that leave realistic good reviews or they'll offer gift cards or something to people they actually sent what they asked for. Theres sellers on Amazon that are scalping GPUs rn for over twice the original price and they all have thousands of outstanding reviews when all they do is scam people.

@John Boi You'd have to be pretty stupid to write something like that (or be the seller, which is a total jerk, idiot, prick). Photos do not match (especially after what you see is what you get).

I don’t get why sellers still try to scam buyers on eBay. Buyers ALWAYS win disputes when it comes to wrong items and sometimes buyers get to keep the original item for free. eBay has a lot of buyer scams however which is why I stopped selling there and switched to eBid but I still buy all my stuff on eBay because of the large selection of things (I also fix a lot of iPhones) and the prices are always good since a lot of competition balances prices
