    Tucker, as a Shopify business owner myself, the way I avoid things like chargebacks from happening is if the order is flagged as Medium or High Risk I ALWAYS email the customer to provide me with their license. Normally if the customer refuses to provide that, it's a red flag. Everytime a customer has provided me with identification regardless of the high risk marker, there is never a dispute. And if there were to be a dispute, you can provide the email evidence through Shopify and 95% of the time win the chargeback and keep your money. Anytime a customer ignores my email of concern, I cancel the order and continue on with life. Hope this helps! 🙌🏼

    About that last scam: yes, that's typically how the scam *starts,* with the victim being out whatever "shipping" they paid, but it often continues after that. The scanner will continue making up fees, taxes, etc. until the victim finally catches on and stops sending money.

  • @BeredisOG
    @BeredisOG ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Tucker, there are methods to make sure people can't chargeback when it is legitimate. On wing purchases, you should start requiring a copy of drivers license to be uploaded, or a picture of front and back. Also, a copy of a bill showing their name and shipping address. Then a selfie holding their license next to their face. Doing this makes sure that the person buying the wing is the person who owns the card and it becomes impossible for them to dispute the charge. It's so wrong that you're trying to help people get quality gear and they are doing this. The other thing is you can dispute the chargeback if you can prove it was delivered and that the address is theirs. Banks commonly don't really look into it and they just chargeback.
    If you want some help, let me know. I have a lot of experience with this!

They talk about wanting a flip phone again - they believe literally every email, message, or text they get, and are ripe for scamming.

    Thanks for the heads up, Tucker. I was eBaying some stuff this week when I noticed twice that buyers were very suspicious. One in particular was providing a known scamming address in Florida. Google reviews on the address showed them claiming to never have received the item and the seller getting charge backs because of it. Selling is really becoming tricky online. I hope some future changes will help mitigate these issues.

    • @tubejay1
      @tubejay1 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Scott Leonard, getting scammed as a seller on eBay is extremely rare. If you provide tracking and it shows delivered to the correct zip code, eBay will not hold you accountable, even if there's a chargeback. eBay is one of the safest ways to sell online. My business has been doing it for the last 20 years sold tens of millions of dollars worth of stuff on there, and I can count on one hand the number of times we got scammed as a seller and lost money. It's less than $1000 of losses in the last 20 years and tens of millions in sales. There isn't any other platform online for selling things that has a record that good. We sell on Amazon, and other marketplaces too, and none are as safe for sellers as eBay. Yes you can get forced into returns, and the buyer can lie about the return reason, but the losses there are minimal.

    These "call me" scams like TH-cam is making money off it because they don't seem to be doing anything about it. I keep getting messages from these same scam accounts. Even after reporting them multiple times they keep popping up.

    I certainly hope those scam sites just don't ever ship you the wing... if they're actually shipping sketchy or counterfeit wings that's pretty terrifying.

    its absolutely pathetic how the governments don't do anything about scamming. literally had 3 people try to scam me the other day from me posting my snow boots for sale. its literally non stop. 2 of them were guys with Facebook pages w like 500 friends etc and they were able to disappear before I could report. super frusterating.

    Scammers suck. You made a business for yourself doing something you love, but clearly you put a lot of time and work into it. Then scammers come and steal from you.

    I've seen the Impersonator on three popular YT channels so far. I reported them a bunch of times to YT but the accounts remain active.

    We also see scams from legitimate dealers. As you know dealers in the USA are expected to quote retail to everyone that inquires about a new wing or any gear for that matter. What Ive seen in the last couple of years is "dealers" that dont have a actual school or business selling this gear for cost plus $100. This drastically undercuts the legitimate dealers and destroys the US market not only for original sales but re-sale as well. This is a grave threat to the legitimate dealers who are playing by the rules. If I were to sell wings or gear at discounted pricing, I would lose my dealership with that company. The guys that dont play by the same rules need to lose there ability to order gliders/gear or the legitimate dealers will soon be put out of business. Unfortunately this is happening more and more making sales more difficult. Not only that but if I offer gear to a student and they are offered same gear for a massive discount, I now have to explain to the buyer my position and it never goes good. The market needs to weed out the guys doing this so we can continue to represent these companies. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Tucker look up the person who wrote a script to auto delete the scam comments. I forgot who the channel is but they made a script that you can download for free and it will automatically flag and then delete them if you want.
