(1) buyer’s address is a subway restaurant, buyer claims “seller send fake pant. too small. seller send size 30”.
(2) So I ask for photos and surprisingly the guy sends me photos of my pants including the tag where size 52 is marked.
(3) So I give him a link to stores around him where he can go to authenticate and tell him the tag says 52, and he responds “ok but you don’t tell me if this is women or men pant”
(4) So I told him it’s listed under men’s clothing and show him the style code off the tag on another website where it’s for sale stating it’s men
(5) And he tells me he doesn’t want to hear my life story and he’s sending it back and gives me a tracking number, but never sent it back.
Had eBay close it out in my favor and now he’s opened a PayPal case stating “seller send me complete different pant.”
Should be a easy win I thought, PayPal will conference eBay, and confirm (a) case was opened for a different reason and buyer is changing his story and (b) he’s provided photos in the eBay case of the same item in my listing. But PayPal isn’t willingly to do the conference call which worries me. Maybe it’s just the weekend backup shifters.
Just don’t want it to go down the route of “send us a photo of your item”, and the guy drags some old blue jeans out his closet. Or PayPal askes him for a police report, when a police report doesn’t prove anything, it’s just like a notarized statement, maybe ebay/paypal thinks no one has ever lied to the police?
*Just a heads up there is a HUGE scam going around similar to this. Especially now since ebay gives buyer’s return labels and charges seller selling fees in lost cases. Scammers take advantage of scared sellers. Seller’s know ebay usually always side with buyers and figured they’d lose out on selling fees so they just willingly accept a return, but you won't get your item back. I am sure this guy would have sent me some cheap Walmart jeans in size 30. Then when I’d tell eBay this isn’t want I sent, they would just say “that’s what the buyer claimed, and you knew this, and if you knew this why did you accept the return” and take the funds.
I"ll call Monday, and hopefully get a rep to contact eBay and confirm the photos are of the same item and close it out. But just wanted to give ya'll a heads up about it, because on different forums sellers got scammed out of accepting returns and getting substitutes.
