eBay, etc. General Question/Answer Thread

[Kidclarke]

Okay, maybe it's me being paranoid since my last buyer turned out bad but this just screams scammer to me? The date code is already posted in my listing and I don't know what a concierge buyer on ebay is or why she's informing me of the other things?

I received this message on one of my items:



Does eBay care if you simply block someone you believe suspicious or are there repercussions? I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can block her for any reason or for no reason. In fact, I'm dealing with one of those types of buyers now. She's on my BBL because of her feedback left for others but because she had first contacted me prior to being blocked, she can ask questions. She's upset because she doesn't understand why she can make an offer.

Personally, your wannabe buyer sounds suspicious and I'd block. (A single mom without support has more important things to spend on than a Louis vuitton bag.)

Thank you for the quick response/answer.
That's very good to know, I added her to the list. I'd rather be paranoid then deal with another mess.
Hopefully she'll move on if she realizes she has been blocked but I can ignore her messages if she does.
Thanks again!

I believe concierge buyers are people that ebay has chosen because they have bought a lot of items and haven't caused a lot of problems. They get more personalized service from ebay if they have a problem. I would assume she is mentioning it so you would think she can be trusted, but I think it also implies that ebay would side with her in a dispute. Why she would tell you she is disabled with no child support is beyond me. That would imply that she can't afford your bag. I agree with BB, I would block.

Hello ladies, I wonder if someone can help me. Yesterday I made an offer and I received a counter offer late at night. I hope up today ready to accept the counter offer but the seller changed the listing to bidding and already has a bid. I didn’t know this was possible, I thought one couldn’t edit a listing that had a pending offer? I really wanted the item.

Is the offer still active? If it is, you should be able to accept it. I bought a BO on an auction listing the other day

You do know you can put several of a seller's items into one report?

Nope, I didn't know that. When you report a fake listing, do you mention the item #s of the seller's other fake listings in that report?

 

[ironic568]

Yes it is.

Has your issue been resolved yet? I always thought that it was a good seller, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Yes, usually.

but this just screams scammer to me?

The point of saying she’s a single mom and disabled was to manipulate you into pity/trust. That kind of detail is obviously unnecessary just to ask a question, so it’s clearly designed to play on emotions—which can work against better judgment.

Block. It’s your prerogative.

I agree with everyone else - I'd block.

I searched but did not find a thread about brandoff experiences.
Do you know if there is one?
I just want to share an SNAD item received to warn other buyers.

I can't find one. I'd like to hear. I've considered buying from them.

Item arrived quickly but......it was listed as new w/o tags & in the description it was stated "PristineNew, Not used."

It was a silk Hermes item that had color transfer throughout. It was also still wrinkled where it had been tied (and used).

That's terrible! Which location of Brandoff? The one is Japan?

 

[MAGJES]

1. That's terrible! Which location of Brandoff? The one is Japan?

It was Hong Kong. Let me share a few photos. The color blending is throughout the entire Twilly. Definitely not Pristine.

I bought another Twilly from them that was listed as used. Paid less. It looked used but was expecting that for the price....I was able to compare this Twilly with one I already own (the exact match - I wanted a “pair”). My Twilly is more “vibrant.” Imo I really believe they “Iron” these silk products. That fades the color and apparently it makes the colors bleed!
I would think twice before buying any kind of silk product from them. I have not had experience buying handbags though
