Anyone with experience involving CHARGEBACKS/Ebay Seller Protection? surfe-3 scammer

[RL]

usually on ebay if it shows delivered seller wins

if buyer whines to ebay, and ebay thinks they are a good buyer, they refund from ebay, not the seller

if the buyer files a chargeback, make sure you answer it and supply the tracking number even though ebay already has it.

went to block, already on my bbl.

I went and looked at his feedback. This isn't the first time that the PO has 'misplaced' his package. Either he is extremely unlucky, or this is a scam that has been successful for him so much that he continues to use it.

It got delivered to PO Box on a Saturday so it's possible a sub clerk put it in the wrong box (really easy to do) and he really didn't get it but you did your part and it shows delivered so you should be ok. But it's ebay so good luck, stress the "delivered" part.

Jim....he claimed it was to a different Post Office but in the same city. Doesn't the zip code kinda negate that?? You aren't gonna have two post office's sharing the exact same zip code right?

Bobby the clerk who put it in the po box or delivered it to him in person had to scan it. The scanners are "signed in" to that zip code. To correct the zip code you have to log out, change it, verify the correct code, I did it once in 20+ years. So for that to happen, the plant had to misroute it, then the clerk didn't notice the name was wrong, then if somebody came to pick it up they usually sort them by name so they would have had to give the right name. Not likely!

I haven't sold anything on ebay in about ten years. I was planning to list an item in the 5k-7k range, but am very paranoid about a situation like this happening. I really don't want to lose the auction money + the investment I already have into the item.

The item won't be able to go to the ebay authentication services. So, just straight to the buyer.

How do you all ship your high value items?

What should I do to make sure I'm protected from scammy buyers in the current ebay landscape?


I've been told by a few people to do registered mail at USPS.

With a card worth that much, it will HAVE to go to Ebay authentication service. There are no if's, and's or but's about it.

It's a set in glued into an album, not a single. As far as I know, they won't authenticate that.

If it’s below signature requirements and was delivered to his confirmed address you are good. that’s all you can do. His beef is with the post office.

edit: not sure why AG is not applied to P.O. Boxes. you have to register your name with the box.
