So I sold a guy my ps3 version of army of two on ebay. He sent payment and I shipped the item. Today he cancelled payment. Paypal won't do anything about it. I am screwed. That guy can go to hell. I am done with ebay, never again

BStecke · 03-19-2008, 09:08 PM

Did you contact ebay?

Yeah, they said that I could get my seller fees back. Great. Now wheres the $55 he owes me. I have that *******s address. If they do nothing, I will ruin his life. Better believe I can afford a lawyer.

As long as its his real address and not someone he knows...

I remember one scammer used a address of a local pizza parlor, and sent a associate to pick up the package.

In that case the scammer didn't know that he was scammed by a person who likes to do pranks.

you'd bring him to court, pay lawyer's fees and court fees for 55$? i see the whole "principle" of the issue but come on lol... sometimes you get shafted its part of life

dk3dknight · 03-19-2008, 09:35 PM

tsk tsk tsk..

You have to think about the emotional distress, the fear of people generated by this transaction..

This could have life altering consequences.. the person should be required to pay him a life settlement.

kotton247 · 03-19-2008, 09:41 PM

Well I just reported this ******* to the FBI internet scammer's claims department. Lets get this ball rolling.

It's not to say what he did was right in any way (though I may have given him some window of opportunity to maybe get in touch and figure out what was going on), but this is why whenever I sell I ALWAYS send it straight to my bank, and I NEVER ship an item until those funds have completely transferred.

I work at Target and I am need of money. Hence I sold the game on E-bay. Now I'm in worse shape then I was. If someone would have bought that stupid game on here when I put it up for sale that would have saved me so much trouble. Damn EA producing games that no one on here would by from me.

Me too. But this guy was like hey I just sent payment. I could only use an e-check. Can't wait to get the game, thanks. Then he confirmed his address and was so nice. I got had....had.....had.

aygie · 03-19-2008, 09:53 PM

dk3dknight · 03-19-2008, 09:53 PM

Man, you are one A+++ seller, then.

If it doesn't work out for you, man, I'm sorry. That sucks...

aygie · 03-19-2008, 10:16 PM

You must have his address if you sent him the game, so.......

Again, unless he provided a fake address and is going to pick it up there...if he is in fact scamming, he's either extremely dumb in giving out his correct address (a DISTINCT possibility -- LOL) or smart enough not to give out the correct one...

Man I wish I could do that

PIHB · 03-19-2008, 10:34 PM

how do you cancell a payment? i didnt know that could be done unless you sent a echeck, but even that i thought had to be cancelled by the seller to avoid things like this. i feel for ya though

He did the e-check through Paypal. And Paypal says they can't do anything about him cancelling it. Great customer service, I'll tell you that.

PIHB · 03-19-2008, 10:40 PM

i sold some movies on highdefdigest and a couple people paid echeck and i told them that i would not ship the movies until the echeck cleared, fortunately they were cool with that, but i had a bad experience like that with a psp.
