FROM UK -Re Lalalands comments about fraudulent ebayers >the buyer claimed it was fake, ending up with the goods & got a refund from Paypal. I had the opposite situation when I purchased a pair of Chanel Sunglasses. Are about 90% selling not real? I found the best way to check was if the serial number on the lens matched that on the box. If they don’t match they are not necessarily fake but if thy do will be genuine. She confirmed all these matched & I had the details in writing in her email. When they arrived the glasses were terrible, really flimsy, very bright & shiny and very new but the box & case were obviously used/old. The codes didn't even match the model/style let alone the serial number! I immediately opened a dispute & asked to return them and have my money back. I had to contact Paypal as she wouldn't give me her return address & I was told it was up to me to take them to Chanel (70 miles away) and get a document from them that would stand up in court stating they were fake, the glasses would then need to be sent back to be destroyed. I still have not been able to contact Chanel by email or phone to find out how I can do this & wil there be a charge. They seem impossible to contact here in UK. I took a chance & returned to her address & she now has the glasses & my money having not yet refunded!!! I also made a trip to Sunglasses hut only 40 miles away! They confirmed they did not appear to be authentic & pointed out several other reasons but were not prepared to put anything in writing.A really bad experience – trouble is now I don’t TRUST WHAT ANY SELLER TELLS ME. I think perhaps give up teh idea of buying them "used" from ebay as not sure if they exist!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but if you open a dispute with PP, the burden is on the buyer to prove that it's fake. If you open a dispute with EBay, the burden is on the seller to prove it's real. Also, you can still have your CC company take the issue up with Paypal. That's why I always use my Amex when buying online - their customer service department is amazing. I once ordered a bag from eBay and received a cheap tin ring in return... I called Amex and they handled it for me.

Off topic: is there a thread for bad eBay sellers? This needs to be added to that list!

Did you return them with delivery confirmation? If so, you have proof that the seller received them and if you call paypal and give them the d.c. information, they should be able to refund your money.

If you open a dispute with EBay, the burden is on the seller to prove it's real" DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY INPUT INTO THIS? I think you can report a listing before bidding you dont think to be genuine to Ebay & they look into it. Sometimes Chanel listings I have been watching are removed with no explaination.

You should NEVER, EVER report a listing unless you KNOW it's fake. Ebay doesn't "look into it," and if the item happens to be authentic but ebay removes it, an honest seller's account is unnecessarily and improperly dinged.
 
this lady is a piece of work ebay user ID mojystuff0110 . I knew it was to good to be true a buyer with 0 feedback would actually pay my auction ended 2 sundays ago and after not receiving payment after 5 days I contacted her and she said she was out of town and to please wait until she got back which was the following sunday evening so Monday came around still no payment I just filed a non paying bid strike against her what gets me is that she made me wait for so long not intending to pay and in her feedback she just purchased 2 other LV sandals after my auction had ended block this lady!!! :tdown::tdown::tdown:
 
paym99 She is the worst buyer. I accepted her offer for my brand new LV handbag and she never paid or responded to my emails. I also saw that she was on ebay and has been bidding on another LV handbag. I had even sent her a nice email asking her to please let me know if she still wants the handbag, so I can relist it. She doesn't even take one minute to respond.
 
Re BeenBurned reply to "taking a chance & returned the fake sunglasses to seller". The problem returning an item is it has to BE TO THE PAYPAL VERIFIED ADDRESS and seller or Paypal wouldn’t give me her address. I returned the item with tracking, insurance & signature to cover every angle & finally have had my money refunded by Paypal. It took 10 days from escalating & over 4 weeks altogether. The seller sat on my money for as long as possible....but he ho i got it in the end. I have rarely left bad feedback but I think this case warrants it. I can’t help feeling guilty doing but other buyers have the right to know what problems she caused.
 
theatlantic :tdown:

Drove up the price at the last minute. Sent me an eCheck several days later. I informed her that her 1st eCheck didn't clear & would try again. No response. I informed her that her 2nd eCheck didn't clear. No response again. She only responded when I filed an unpaid item case. She promised she would send another eCheck next week. What a load of crap! No payment but all the while she's been bidding on cheap items & paying for those. What a waste of time!
 
shopper7172010- won a pair of shoes, never paid. Emailed me to wait, I did. Never paid, then I opened a NPB and closed it, still never paid. Left me negative feedback, had ebay remove it.
 
xxx you cannot post your eBay ID anywhere on this website - also this whole post is off topic. Please just post people you think we should add to our NPB list.

This happened to another user but I think this isn't a buyer anyone of us wants to deal with: (excerpt taken from her thread)

(tPFer) bought a Chanel advertised as new with tags on Ebay but didn't like it and relisted it b/c couldn't return it. rcarmichael711 bought it and tPFer sent it via Priority mail, having insured it. Then tPFer got a message from the buyer - rcarmichael711 - saying that the post office lost it and can't find it. tPFer replied that she still had her receipt from buying the insurance and would call to find out what's going on. Got a response from buyer that the bag has been found. The buyer then left nice feedback. THEN the buyer sent a message saying their client didn't like the bag and that they would relist. I said ok and that they could probably get more for it since they have more feedback than I do. THEN they sent a message saying the bag is used. The buyer said she saw the bag was purchased in January on Ebay and she called Ebay and is going to open a case if the seller didn't refund them. However, they've already relisted the bag as "new with tags."

This case was decided in the tPFer's favor however I wouldn't want to deal with this buyer and it's up to you whether or not you do.
 
danielbrad2006 - never paid on a "buy it now" i sent a few emails reminding her that i hadn't received payment and got no response. then i sent an email basically giving her an out and told her if she didn't want it, it was ok, just let me know so i can re-list it. that's when she responded that she still wanted it. 8 days later still no payment or contact. so i opened a non payment "thingy" report and i'm waiting for more days to pass, so i can re-list . i just don't understand why someone would buy it now and then not "buy it now" i mean who does that? ask questions, ask for more photos... something. i'm super irked by the entire process, which is why i normally steer clear of ebay.
 
rockthehse This lady is the biggest conartist. She has 5 different ebay ids. She asked me to add a BIN to my dress, which I did and then she never paid or responded. I thought I had recognized her name and realized that I had blocked her from the past, since she had never paid for past items of mine. Her other ids are: SFNATIVE333(this is her major selling id, where she relists the cheap DVF dresses that she bids on and resells for $200 or more), she buys all of the DVF dresses for cheap under one of her 4 ebay ids and then resells them for $200 or more and takes advantage of unsupecting ebay bidders. She lies that the dresses are brand new or only worn for one hour!!! Which is the biggest lie when she just bought the used dresses from another ebayer. her third buying id is: tabbiescloset. She had bid on one of my dresses and never paid on this id either,her fourth id is:2btruetoj, which she also has marked as private and is not using as much anymore and her 5th id is: likeadeal12
