ebay issue, what would you do?

[brewing]

I sold a card on ebay on August 9th. Tracking shows out for delivery on August 14, but never scanned as delivered. I have had similar situations and buyers left positive feedback indicating delivery.

First time I heard of issue was on Sept 2nd when buyer opens a case.
I've gone thru steps with USPS, still open with them.
Buyer requests to close case and ebay decides in their favor on Sept 11th. Without delivery confirmation I don't believe I'll be successful in an appeal.

Buyer has been unresponsive to all messages sent outside of his ebay case.
Checked today and the card is in his PSA T206 registered set. He's not a member here, but is on blowout cards.

It's a $70 transaction.

It's possible he added it after purchase, but I think he received it and has scammed me. Mostly because he has completely ignored every message I sent to him outside the ebay case system.

Do I out him on Blowout Cards?
Do I ignore it and accept the theft?
Any other thoughts?

Sounds like outing him is your best bet. Not fair to you at all.

And outing him will prevent others from being scammed by the same dude...

...if the buyer is listing his recent purchases in the T-206 Set Registry , then the dates of the addition should prove your case ? Also , if he is in the T-206 Set Registry , then the odds are that he is on this forum reading your posts...??

Please out him. No one should have to deal with a POS scammer.

The only thing I can think of is.. is it possible he added the card to his registry set in anticipation of receiving it? I don't know how that works.

If not, he's a dirtbag and definitely OUT him everywhere you can.

FWIW - I have, on occasion, entered a card into my registry upon payment as sort of a quick easy way to verify that the serial num matches with PSA/SGC records.

Out him. If he's in the clear he can explain himself on either forum.

For what it's worth, this is one of the reasons why I blur out PSA card registration numbers on my listings. If the card gets added to someone's registry, they definitely received it.

Do you also blur out the bar code?

[teza11]

I haven't, but based on your suggestion it's probably a good idea.

Thank you for the responses.

I’m thinking a good start is to claim ownership via PSA. Although if he has half a brain he’ll let it drop off his registry and I’ll lose the one thing that shows he has possession of it.

Once that happens, there is no criminal evidence and the best I can do is out him by telling the story and providing screenshots.

for taking the actions - not the outcomes! Do what you can and let the outcome go.
