Sure would have liked to see his feedback!

QUOTE: Originally posted by Tracklayer Have any of you ever sold anything on ebay, and then had the buyer come back and complain that there was something wrong with the item when you knew for a fact that there wasn't ?... 99% of the time, they don't want to send the item back, but want you to refund part of their money - or else they'll give you negative feedback. Any time you come across someone like this, there's a very good chance they're trying to scam you... And if you tell them to return the item and you'll refund their money, they may have broken it or traded it out with their duplicate junk. Feedback is a good thing, but it can also be used against you unfairly. I now plainly state in my listings that ALL SALES ARE FINAL!, and NO REFUNDS OR PARTIAL REFUNDS!... Anyone else ever had any of these problems ?. Tracklayer

QUOTE: Originally posted by ICRR1964 Yes, it was just 4 weeks ago on a sale I made with some older Athearn powered chassis. I sold these items to a ebay member who won 2 of the powered chassis actions I had, took for ever to get paid from him too about 3 weeks. I packed them up really nice in bubble rap and foam peanuts. Charged him $8 for shipping on the Prioriy Flat rate, which cost $7.70 total. I made sure both these units run and cleaned and lubed them. Auction stated they are sold for parts and as is with no returns. I guess this guy did not read the description, he got the items and started complaining about they did no run and he wanted his money and shipping back. I tried to work with him with email after email, never heard nothing from him. He then sent me an email with a picture of the chassis stating they were dummy units not powered units! LOLOL!!!I thought to myself, ok pal you want to play games, he only had a total score of 8 on his feedback, so I told him he was trying to scam me out of money and parts he needed. Soon as I told him that I was going to file NEG feedback he backed away then. I only put up about 15 auctions a week so its easy to manage, but it always seems like I get one person a week who likes to play games after the auctions end. It could be non paying, unisured items, shipping cost, or the old "I never got it". I use the USPS tracking, money orders and Paypal, and I pack nice and offer INS if requested. I only ship to the US too. The USPS tracking can make a liar out of someone really quick too! For some reason or another people don't read the items description and terms, its like feed back I always leave it after I get the $$. About a third of them you never get any feedback at all from them, or even here from them, and thats just rude in my book. From here on out I am not doing feedback until mine is done, hate to be like that but, whats the use of trying to keep up a good rating if no one else leaves you anything at all. I have never ever left a neg for anyone, I always try and make things work for me or them. Your right though, there seem to be allot of people trying to scam or con people, ebay needs to get some sort of handle on this.
