I Was Scammed on eBay and It Might Have Been My Fault

[@primokimo]

It is theft. But even if you mark it the internal components with invisible ink (like we do) you still will only have proof that them stole from you. No real recourse. Keep the return policy but tell the people when they contact you that you have marked the internal components and to please return the exact item and it's components. This will often avoid the return.

[@kens976]

Unfortunately when it comes to electronics, this type of scam happens. To be honest, eBay should not allow any sort of returns on items in the not working- parts only category. That simple rule, would end this type of scam. Items like this I no longer sell on eBay and sell on CL or FB for local pickup.

A no return policy just means you will get tons of item not as described returns. I fell into a bunch of appliance parts and started selling them and didn’t want to accept returns when people bought the wrong part. I just ended up with a lot of item not as described returns.

[@unassignedvlog5556]

Not sure why you made this comment because it wasnt the case here...eBay uses this statement all the time...this is the dumbest excuse they use to push you to accept returns. its not like it reduces returns just enables you to keep half if they do. But if we did this nonsense our returns would increase 10 fold guaranteed.

[@stroy2467]

I've had no returns policy from the start and it works. (I have less than 1% return rate). Depends what you're selling and what kind of buyers you're willing to deal with.

[@JMGTHECOLLECTOR]

If you have a no returns policy, you will not have the option to deduct the up to 50% and the shipping you paid to ship the item. I tried to deduct 50% from the refund and didn't have that option. The ebay rep explained to me that I need to keep returns on to be able to have that option. My scammer was also a reseller😢

You mentioned something about no returns the other day in the live. But I am not sure you are aware, if you put no returns, and a buyer opens an INAD, no matter what, you can not withhold any portion of their refund. So in this instance, you would be giving them 100% refund instead of 50%.

[@cyberknight5680]

Yeah, and then call ebay to get the usual run around. They'll tell you to wait 3 days to open a case, which will automatically go against you and forces the return, lol.

[@bennystratton7734]

Even if you offer returns and its an INAD you can't deduct anything from the refund it has to be 100% plus the return shipping only way you can deduct from a return is if it's a remorse reason like changed my mind this is considered the "buyers" fault not the sellers any other type of reason its the sellers fault in ebays eyes

Its a transformer. Transformers either step up or step down voltage basically speaking. A capacitor on the other hand you can think of sorta like a battery, it builds up a charge inside it and when the potential is correct and a circuit exists it releases that charge. A good example of this is your refrigerator whereby a large capacitor gives the compressor a "kick" to get it started.

Keep in mind too that eBay WILL side with a buyer on an INAD for PartsOrRepair items if you describe ANY function as working.

[@elizabethvisciano6817]

I just got scammed also. Buyer claimed that she recieved a totally different item than the one I sent. It was such an unbelievable situation, that of course, I suspected her. I made her take numerous pictures of the box, which she did, and it looked as though one end was re-taped. It was a very low priced item, but the shipping was high because the item was very long. I contacted UPS, because they were the shipper, and I was covered through eBay for the $100. I thought even if she scammed me, I'd get money back, so I went ahead and shipped her another one. Now I'm out $46. I get no resolution from UPS, so I call eBay, and they reminded me that I should have reported the buyer right away. Duh! They said that they could have helped me. The rep was kind enough to issue me an eBay coupon for about half of my loss. I should have known better, but I question now, do I have to take pictures of everything I ship to prove I shipped it?

If she’s gonna be a long one, sorry about that. That being said this happened to me not a week ago with the super eight vintage camcorder that weighed 12 pounds. I sold it as is no returns parts or repair. The person bought it took it apart took what they wanted out of it claimed it was defective and sent it back and eBay gave them 100% of their money back And then a week later eBay gave me my money back under seller protections because they admitted in a message that they took it apart, which is now considered an altered item. One thing you can do different is be clever and ask questions to get them to admit what they did if they admit taking it apart that is automatically altered item and seller protected What I proposed eBay needs to do is buyers should have to prove in photos messages short videos, something the reason for a return, especially when you buy an item that is parts or repair so meaning defective and steal the ability to return it as defective but at the moment buyers are so protected they don’t have to prove anything eBay just accepts the return if this was a fair and balanced site as they claim it to be, the buyers would have to prove the reason for the return not just click a button and it’s automatically done

The supervisor backed the buyer saying he couldn’t tell by the pics it wasnt a full set of cards either ( I didn’t make note of it in the description ) only time eBay will take your pics into consideration is if they are using them to protect the buyer, otherwise they mean nothing … the sold comp is probably still available if anyone wants to look at pics themselves If I understand eBay no return policy correctly ( correct me if I’m wrong ) … no return simply means you don’t want the item back, if a INAD or damaged claim is opened a full refund is forced upon seller by eBay without the expectation of item being returned.

You still made money how did you get scammed…. eBay gives them back there money anyway….

[@FlippinAintEasy]

We made half of what we sold it for due to the deduction, as for the buyer they have not disputed the deduction through ebay, however if a buyer buys your "parts or repair item" there should never be return situation since you are essentially selling an non functional broken item yet the buyer scams the seller into getting at least half their money back when they remove what they want from your item as in this case.

We do not offer returns on eBay. We stand behind the quality of our items and we don’t have time to deal with wish washy people who want to buy, try and return. If you are a person who likes to return items then shop retail. Returns is a platform to steal from buyers, waste time, and ultimately waste resources. That
