    I just had a return because they said i sent the wrong bag and doesnt match the description "black " instead of "midnight".
    They sent me back a fake bag . I had video of my packing and video opening their return. I submitted photos and i won.
    Good Luck!

    These scammers just go straight to their banks and claim charge back disputes through them. They don't open disputes throught eBay orcontact the seller or eBay. I had a couple buyers try this route but unfortunately for them I keep records.

    I really think I had this exact same buyer on a similar product. Wanted tech support help like this and they never tried to do return, just did a charge back on their credit card. Worst case scenario because I never got the item back, and eBay just yoinks the money from your account… annoying!

    Really enjoy your videos Justin! In my limited experience of selling on eBay actively this past year, a scammy buyer opening a payment dispute has been the best possible situation for me as a seller. I made a sale for a basic item, right after purchasing, the buyer messaged me asking me to ship them a higher end version of the same item (weird). When they received the item from the listing, they opened an INAD with eBay, and eBay shockingly sided with that scammer giving them a refund and not requiring them to return it ($350 item). Right after I got the email from eBay stating they sided with the buyer, the buyer opened a payment dispute also, which gave me a 2nd shot. When a payment dispute is opened, eBay bows out and closes the case. I submitted all the photos in collages (to allow me to show them more than the 5 photos they allow for upload), all messages, everything. The payment institution sided with me and although I never got the item back, I got to keep the funds from the sale. I've only had this issue and 1 more false INAD, and weirdly enough, BOTH of them spoke the same broken English. Make of that what you will...

      Strangely this happened to me too. 15 years never having a problem selling stuff on ebay and got my first scammer this year.
      I sold a perfectly functioning item (tested before shipping) and the buyer within two weeks disputes it as defective. I even troubleshooted what might be the problem, buyer ignored me, and ran to ebay to say I wasn't issuing a refund. Got forced to issue refund, ebay bowed out and closed the case, my item never got returned. I even bought labels outside ebay to help and buyer still never returned. Contacted ebay and they simply said the buyer will always take precedent over the seller and I should have immediately gave them the refund before they stepped in.
      So I got scammed by a buyer, who got both a refund and kept my functioning item. Were talking $300 - $400 both ways. Never in my life was I disgusted in ebay's treatment of my ordeal and as a seller stomped on by ebay and a buyer.
      I immediately uninstalled the ebay app and will be closing my account next month after recently seeking a refund directly from ebay customer service or a chargeback from my bank.

      @@da1writer1985 man that’s so frustrating, I’m sorry that happened to you. One piece of advice I would give though, is don’t close up shop if you really don’t need to, I’ve had a couple really negative experiences with eBay siding with the buyer when they absolutely should not have, but my eBay business has been an absolute blessing and game changer in my family‘s finances for the past year. I’ve tried my best to just come to terms that every now and then I will get burned, but 99 out of 100 buyers are great people and I’m going to stick around to serve them and my family.

    Never using priority shipping again. They didn't cover my damaged item even though it was insured. I showed up with the broken glass item and she explains I did not put enough protection. I explained to them that I had thrown out all of the bubble wrap and paper wrappers because it was covered with shattered glass. In the end, they can come up with total bs and don't have to pay me for the damaged item.

    I was recently just selling my 256GB iPhone 13 Pro Max on eBay and was sad I wasn’t able to list it above $500. Instead I put it up for auction and it ended up selling for $600 i really didn’t want to sell at that price so I contacted the buyer that I “apologize for the inconvenience of not shipping, I wasn’t going to sell the iphone no longer and that they should cancel” the buyer has never reached out for a refund and eBay sent me a payment, I’m new to eBay and I feel Iike I unintentionally scammed? Who’s in the wrong here? Should I wait it out a few days because the payment of $547.74 is rn in my bank account with a “processing” could eBay take the money right out?

    Calculator dispute is clearly a scam. The bad English is usually a surefire giveaway. Her "hus-bend" LOL. Likely some overseas outfit using a U.S. address for shipping. I've had couple of those before. They just love to go the credit card dispute route; fortunately Ebay has gotten a lot better in past couple years about protecting sellers from this nonsense.

    You’ll def have to let us know how this turns out, but I’m gonna bet a steak dinner that eBay will side with the buyer (and, more importantly to eBay, their financial institution), and you’ll lose the sale and have to pay eBay a $20 fee for disputing. I had an even more cut-and-dry situation, where I was able to prove 100% that what the buyer claimed was not true (which I assume you cannot do with a vintage calculator - meaning you cannot definitively prove it was 100% functional), and eBay sided with the buyer in my case. I didn’t even bother both an appeal (life is too short), but I bet I would have lost the appeal as well.

    I had a similar situation happen with a calculator. Buyer bought a Ti83 calculator and as soon as he got it he said calculator didn't work and showed me pics of a calculator that wasn't even the one I sent. I immediately called ebay to report him and remove negative feedback he left cuz I called him out. Basically he bought my calculator cuz his broke and tried to return his broken one to me and keep mine. Unfortunately for him, there were blemishes that I took pics of and sent them to ebay and his didn't match those. They refunded him despite that but not out of my pocket, thank god. I agree tho, he shouldn't have got anything back.

    Hi Sir, I have a question. Some of the mentioned items are taking months to sell, e.g. 7,8 months. My question is: Do you modify (change titles, prices, desc etc.) the listings in that duration or just leave it there as it is? Do you end them and relist them? There is also something like "stale listing" term used by many sellers that your listing if not updated or sold may go stale after a few months. Is that true? Some of my items takes time to sell. What I am doing is ending them and relisting after around 1.5-2 months. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks
