Sell Item to this Buyer: New INGERSOLL RAND 39301981 Transformer OEM Replacement Part

Buyer opened a return request because of defective item. The return item is abused, scratched, bent, and damaged with broken pieces. We tested it and it worked fine.
When we asked him about the damage, why not report it when receiving. He replied it arrived damaged and was ok with him. ummm ????
For a return request because of defect, a refund of full payment must be issued. eBay has an option to report a buyer. We did not bother it as eBay sides with buyers 100%. any way.
We saved the messages and just moved on.

Sell Item to this Buyer: Replica German WW II Knife

The buyer bought a $5 knife and wasn't happy with it. He stated that it was not the same as the "real" knife that he owned. Of course it wasn't.
He did not contact me about it and didn't ask for a refund. He just left negative feedback.

I'm reasonable and if they would have contacted me I would have tried to work with them but they are "chit" as the name suggests.
They don't have many feedbacks as buyers (11).

Sell Item to this Buyer: 256220182722

Buyer ordered a vintage camera lens from me, which was confirmed delivered safely. Three weeks later, opened a chargeback, claiming "didn't recognize transaction." Looking at buyer's feedback history, he has bought literally -hundreds- of items in the EXACT same category going back several years, so a claim that he didn't buy this particular item at this time strains credulity, especially when HE HAS IT IN HIS POSSESSION. Believe he is initiating false chargebacks in order to get free items.

Sell Item to this Buyer: Velcro

This buyer is an experienced seller and therefore should know better. He leaves negative feedback on almost all of his purchases. The title of my item sold to him clearly stated the dimensions, but because one of the pictures displayed the cover of a roll of Velcro, he thinks he should have received a complete roll worth $150 for the $16 he spent. So he obviously knows how to lie and get a free return with the money back guarantee and cost me both ways in shipping. He will be only partially refunded for 50%.

The buyer submitted a return, claiming the item was damaged, but submitted a picture of a perfect item. They asked the buyer to upload a photo of the damaged product and we would immediately issue a full refund, but the buyer immediately left a negative review, claiming that the seller refused to accept returns.
Since then, we have left multiple messages to the buyer, telling him that as long as he provides photos of the damaged goods, we will immediately issue a full refund.
This buyer provided information similar to this in a text format with a filename of ****.jpg, and then claimed to have provided the photo.

The buyer purchased a $500+ swiss automatic watch, brand new and fully functional, tested prior shipping. Opened a return request claiming the watch is not working and defective.
We received a broken watch back and our watchmaker concluded is has been damaged by the buyer or even more likely, some parts of the movement were replaced.
Since they claimed via email that"he has another one" its almost certain he replaced parts of the movement with defective ones.

Sell Item to this Buyer: Transformers

Doesn't appreciate of providing a good customer service. When I was just confirming things with him especially returns and packaging of his purchase. He's get all defensive saying "I'm not agreeing to anything outside of the eBay terms agreements." Then I pointed out that what I was doing is within eBay terms of agreement. Also, telling him that I'm just trying to provide good customer service by providing a courtesy beneficial for a buyer as well as me as a seller to ensure mutual agreement on the packaging for shipping. His response: "I don't really need this item or your condescending attitude." Wished I could cancel his transactions but eBay would still able problematic buyer like him to still leave a feedback. I'm confident he would leave a negative feedback. Don't waste your time on this guy. Not worth doing business with.

Sell Item to this Buyer: Camera Lens

I am located in USA, buyer in Japan. Purchased item (camera lens) was apparently damaged in transit via eBay's International Shipping Program, either by eBay themselves or during customs inspection, despite being very well-packed in bubble wrap and packing peanuts. Photos taken immediately before packing show -zero- damage. Upon receipt, buyer immediately opened a return (I automatically accept returns on all items) and left negative feedback, with slanderous comments regarding my product descriptions/inspection. This is on an account that I haven't received a negative feedback in 8 years on with 10s of thousands of sales. Looking at buyer's other feedback left, they apparently are a a reputation arsonist who immediately will leave negative feedback for even the smallest hiccup.

Sell Item to this Buyer: Fi (Series 2) GPS Tracker Smart Dog Collar (Large Size)

I sent numerous messages offering tips on why the device wasn't pairing as well as asked if they had signed up for a subscription service or even contacted Fi support. This buyer never responded. Next, the buyer attempted to try to get this item refunded by presenting a pic of a bunch of packing boxes, not even remotely connected to a reason why the device wasn't pairing. Due to this, I was not able to access funds for selling this item for over a month. I tested this item several times before it was sent to the buyer (it worked) as well as carefully packed it for the buyer. The buyer never returned the item within the allocated period because they wanted to keep item while thinking they would also receive a refund from Ebay or the seller. They are now retaliating with a negative review due to not being able to get away with this. Additionally, the buyer stated in the review I offered a $5 refund. I only did this because I was under the mistaken belied that offering a refund was the only way to escalate the case. The buyer is now twisting this to imply I was admitting fault. This buyer deserves zero refund. I believe this buyer is claiming it did not pair for several potential reasons listed below. They could be due to one or most likely a combination of all three. The utmost important reason is the first. 1) They thought ebay would let them keep the item as well as get a refund by falsely claiming the item did not work. They again provided zero evidence that this item did not pair nor did they respond to any of my messages attempting to assist them. 2) They did not want to pay for a subscription, which was clearly stated on my item posting was needed. 3) They did not have a working wireless router in order for it to pair properly. I strongly believe this buyer should be removed from Ebay and be unable to buy again in the future to prevent future such attempts towards sellers.

Sell Item to this Buyer: Archon for Atari 400/800/1200/XL Electronic Arts 5 1/4" Floppy, Manuals CIB

eBay member bobofett1980 with account location in Chile bid on auction item 256143081480 located in USA and won.
Buyer bobofett1980 delayed payment for 2 days. When bobofett1980 paid for the item auction the eBay Order detail showed bobofett1980 chose Buyer's Selected Shipping Service as "Local Pickup". eBay Order details also showed bobofett1980's eBay account Buyer information "julio f cordova". Account name did not have obvious relation to buyer's designated a shipping address "Matthew Seaver , 338 dana hill rd , New Hampton , NH , 03256-4521 , United States , 945926835". bobofett1980's eBay account information provided contact Phone "945926835" is not a valid United States phone number. bobofett1980's provided shipping contact Phone "60396836486" is not a valid United States phone number. bobofett1980's Shipping address is 3,414 miles away from Local Pickup. When queried about how the the Buyer bobofett1980 was going to make his chose eBay Local Pickup for the item the buyer admitted he could not do so because he was not in the area. bobofett1980 also stated would not be in the area for the next 10 days. Buyer bobofett1980 attempted to have Uber make an eBay Local Pickup without ability for the Uber Driver to verify item pick that is required to occur using an eBay Local Pickup code (a QR code and a 6 digit code) for verification. Buyer bobofett1980's asked for item to be until he was in a nearby town of "Berkeley" (Berkeley, CA, USA) is 26 miles from Local Pickup. I agreed and held bobofett1980's item until the time the buyer would be able travel from Berkeley, CA to Pacifica CA for the eBay Local Pickup. After bobofett1980's specified return date he did not respond to many requests to meet up. Also offered bobofett1980 was an option for USPS delivery to a valid USA address. Buyer bobofett1980 decided to not respond to any messages. Instead Buyer bobofett1980 opened an eBay Case 15 days after the listing ended making the false claim the Seller was refusing to deliver the Buyer's item purchase. Buyer bobofett1980 never paid for delivery by choosing Local Pickup. And Local Pickup was never made because Buyer bobofett1980 refused to provide a meetup date and time. In the eBay Case Buyer bobofett1980 once again tried to use Uber make an eBay Local Pickup without ability for the Uber Driver to verify item pick that is required to occur using an eBay Local Pickup code (a QR code and a 6 digit code) for verification. But buyer bobofett1980 backed out of Local Pickup when I remined him of the requirement to verify item pickup using eBay Local Pickup code (a QR code and a 6 digit code) claiming he could not provide the code during pickup. Buyer bobofett1980 then wanted to cancel the Order claiming seller dishonesty. But really bobofett1980 wanted to cancel the Order because he could not commit an eBay member Rules violation by making an unverified real property transfer for item purchase. I ended the eBay Case by cancelling the order and refunding item payment. In then end if I had allowed an unverified eBay Local Pickup of the item Buyer bobofett1980 would probably have tried to tell eBay he never received the item even after pickup. All during the order eBay member bobofett1980 looks to have been attempting to swindle the seller during the sale while also lying to eBay Customer Support about delivery. Protect your eBay Seller account by AVOIDING AND BLOCKING EBAY MEMBER "bobofett1980"!
If bobofett1980 has made a bid on your item then cancel it.
If bobofett1980 had made a purchase you have not yet delivered then cancel the eBay Order.

Sell Item to this Buyer: Berenguer Baby Doll Life Like Sleeping Baby Doll 20"

I was selling a doll for $18.95 used in good condition. The buyer asked in messages to reduce the price of this doll for her, first by $7, then by $5. I lowered the price by $4 specifically for her. After the purchase, she received the doll 3 days later and immediately began demanding a partial refund of another 50% ($7.50) off $14.95. At first he wrote that he was afraid of a thread on his leg, but this thread was clearly visible in my pictures. Then he wrote that the leg is a little relaxed and it scares him, but this is normal for a doll with a cloth body and the leg is well fixed to the body by the manufacturer of the toy. Despite the fact that the doll has no defects, I was ready to provide a partial refund of $ 5. The buyer wants a full refund, but the toy is in good condition with no defects. In messages, he sent a picture of defect only a thread that was in my pictures with a doll.

And since ebay auto approved the returns, there is nothing we can do about it. Only comments we get back from buyer is, "just didn't like them". Look at the frecking images first then for pete's sake. That's why we invent time in have those images taken and place with each inventory item. I can understand a return from time to time, but every one "just didn't like" Don't wait your money and time with this person.

Buyer reported a problem with their order. Incorrect item sent (similar, but not the same.. employees (people) do make mistakes from time to time. We ask the buyer to return the dice and the buyer was outraged to even suggest that we have them return the dice since it was our mistake, which we acknowledge. We'd offer to fix the issue or give them a full refund. It would even cost them anything to return the item and they said it was too much of an effort to repackage and take to the post office. What? Its just playing dice. You print out the label, you put it on the package and give it to the post office person who shows up to deliver the mail. You don't even have to leave your house. Don't like to use the term, but this guy is a male version of a "Karen".

Account was created on May 2023 so most likely a new buyer but I recommend blocking him if you sell a lot of Pokemon figures. I've decided to let eBay cancel automatically so he'll get a strike.
