my long scam story...
I sold a shoe off eBay to a buyer in NY and it ended up being a nightmare. I shipped the package via UPS with signature required. I uploaded the tracking number onto eBay/PayPal and thought all was going to go well. The package was estimated to arrive within the next 4 days, but after 2 days, the buyer had opened a case against me stating that he was scared I scammed him because the item had not arrived yet. I thought it was some sort of joke but after making sure I was logged into the correct eBay and PayPal page, it hit me that I was getting scammed. One thing I absolutely hate about eBay is how they always side with the buyer first. So to cover my ass, I hit up UPS to intercept the delivery and pay 20 bucks. I also contact eBay and PayPal regarding this issue and give them all the information I could, telling them the package is still in transit so obviously the buyer had not received it yet. They're like OH, we'll transfer you to x, he'll know what to do. I was transferred around 20 times before one of their "top managers" told me they couldn't do anything and had to wait till the package was delivered. Oh yeah, so by then you'll return his money AND he'll get the shoes. Well at least I had the UPS interception right? Turns out the message didn't get across, and the delivery guy dropped off the package WITHOUT getting signature confirmation. It took two more weeks of complaining to eBay before they finally decided to give back the money.

I almost got scammed on eBay too. Sold the a dipshit my old video card, which I knew worked 100% because I was using it till about a week before I sold it to him. He claimed that the card was defective and would not POST in his pc. Explained to him that I tested the card and I was packed properly so I know it was not damaged.. Gave me a bunch of BS run around and wanted a refund. I told him to send me the card back and of course he tried to give me more bs. At this point I told him to take it up with eBay.. So they had him ship the card back and refunded him the cash.. He still emailed me saying I'm a scammer.
So now the pack arrived at my house about a week and a half later. I then made a video of myself opening the box and installing the video card in one of my PCs.. Of course the card worked like a charm.. I sent him a link to the video and his reply was.......................FUCK YOU!
At this point I called eBay asking they refund me my listing fee and my return shipping fee since the card works. I got more run around and got bounced back and forth between like 10 people and numerous . Finally they said that they can no longer do anything because the case is now closed.. I'm like it's fucking closed because you guys kept taking your sweet as time with this..
I'm like fuck this shit I don't need the money but this in on principal now. So I called again and got transferred to some asshole overseas. Told him the story and that I have video evidence that the buyer lied.. He state that it didn't matter and he had no interest in looking at it.. This dude was suck a fucking moron that I went ballistic on his ass after he said, "well how do you know the card was not broken we he got it"........? I'm like "wtf did you just say??!! How the fuck can the card be broken when he got is and all of a sudden it works when I plug it back into my pc? Cause my mailman dabbles in electronics and fixes video cards on the side!!!! What kind of a fucking moronic statement was that. ".. Dude then asked why didn't I helped him to troubleshoot the card. I'm like are you fucking retarded do I look like tech support? Where the fuck in my posting did I say hit me up for tech questions?.. He still refused to give me a refund for the listing and the shipping.. I'm like of dude fuck you I'll call again when I'm driving home.
So I'm driving home and got about 20min to kill so I call again. At this point I was just gonna fuck with these assholes for about 20min. Got some cute sounding Asian chick in Cali.. Holy shit night and day difference.. Without a question she refunded me my return shipping cost and the listing fee. I was like wtf?? Long story short fuck eBay they are all about kissing the buyers ass.. I got lucky because this asshole could have sent me back a brick and they still would have taken his side..
