Now It's the seller that it's doing scam now they have a Venezuelan group doing scam so how they took all my money the get my email through the eBay account and they send me a couple of emails to star a wire transfer for a truck that I bought I told it was from eBay and they took 26,600 eBay is not the work I will like to know how they get my email address through eBay
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!
I just got scammed $95 and eBay ruled in the seller's favor because it says the package was delivered. But if you look at the tracking it says it was delivered to my post office to a parcel locker. Not to my address a parcel locker. It was a treadmill
It was a treadmill and I called the local post office and the lady said the only thing that matches up with me is the tracking number and it was a 4 oz box going to the owner of that lock box
gotcha, that does sound like a scam. you need to open an Item Not As Described case (as opposed to Item Not Received) -- ebay will take care of you@@AxelBandmatz-go5gr
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 had a similar thing happened last week with a 27.00 item that he said he didn't authorize. Ebay sent me the notice and said not to worry, so I figure they will handle it.
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.
I also got a payment dispute on an item too, but I didnt have to do anything on it. They said I was trying to scam them, but everything was delivered and the buyer even left positive feedback so not sure how that works. Lol.
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 payment with a credit card dispute, she goes I connected me multiple times, when they didn't, got a neg fed back been working since that to get back to above below seller.... Like just message and have free returns but I got hosed...
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.
@@justinresells Okay. Thank you for the response. Does the govt allow tax deduction from the sale if there is no actual cost of sales receipt attached to the record? It's my first year and this thing worries me whether the sale's cost is tax deductible or not in such a case because I don't have any receipts for the items purchased from car boot or garage sales.
We're getting pretty close! Our goal is sometime in February, but still work to do. You can sign up to be notified when we are live or sign up to beta test now at flipwise.app
Justin, love your videos! I just had someone claim that my package was opened when it arrived. A $250 sale. They also sent pictures of the package cut open but I could not download any of the photos, or save them (strange), got a network error, first for this. Anyhow, I opened a USPS case with the hope I can get my money back and I will probably end up refunding the buyer! I always say if the person is not being honest in the end, karma will come back to bite them.
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
Now I have an idea for how to use that blue shirt I bought 😅 I mostly just like clothes Made in the USA and the original tag just sweetened the deal, going to try it on 👕
With flipwise will you be able to add something like shipping supply fees. I think this would be cool, because you'd be able to see an even more accurate representation of how much profit you made. Another great video btw !!
@@justinresells that will be cool, any idea if you guys plan to do a month by month subscription or yearly one time payment when you officially launch?
Probably not trying to scam you. Maybe just an older buyer not sure how to do a return and more accustomed to calling their card company. As for the calculator, who knows. Old battery, user error 🤷♂️ no way to know.
Congrats on your marathon! Thanks for all of the valuable info (new reseller here).

The USPS never approves my claims when things are damaged/broken.
My first two I received compensation for, after that, nada. I don't even try anymore.
My local USPS is VERYYYY good thankfully,I buy so much gold and silver that if there’s any issues or a signature is required I’m always good!!

Since you did not honor the sale, you need to cancel the order and refund the buyer.

I suspect the "bad English" was intentional. Fake. Those are not the typical typos. Part of the ploy.
Yes, they are trying to elude the payment and keep the calculator.

Just clarify, when you activate vacation mode does your items still show up on a search or are they hidden?
they still show up in search, but users are unable to purchase unless you allow sales while you're away (which I don't)

Another question, How do you maintain receipts for things from garage sales if they don't give you any. What should be done for the tax reasons?
I just keep a record of how much I paid and when. I do this in my software, Flipwise, but you can also do it in a spreadsheet.

Do you refund the shipping aswell?
If they pick Item not as described when they do a return then eBay will approve the return even if your store doesn't accept returns.
true, but i have free returns on everything so anyone can return anything for any reason for free as long as it's within 30 days.
