I had someone from Australia buy a shirt from me on eBay about 3 weeks ago. When he received it late last week, he sent me an email saying that it had huge stains on it and that he wants me to send him a new one. I told him to send it back and I'll even pay the return fees and send him a new one for free if it indeed has stains on it. It's highly unlikely because I checked it on both sides inside and out before packing it, but I may have missed something.

Right after I finish writing the email to him, I find a dispute from PayPal in my email inbox. When I logged into PayPal, they told me that he opened a dispute for the reason that his account was used fraudulently by a 3rd party and that he never made the purchase.

So how come he sent me an email about supposed stains just 5 minutes before? I doubt the account holder and the 'fraudulent buyer' emailed me 3 weeks after the purchase within 5 minutes of each other and even with the same email address.

Unfortunately I had no tracking because Australia doesn't scan foreign incoming airmail parcels, only FedEx and such. So I just gave him a refund and ate my loss of about $50.

This morning, he sends me an angry email asking me what I had told PayPal (I didn't tell them anything, I just refunded the payment) and that his account with nearly $6000 was now limited and they wanted all kinds of documentation from him or they will not release his money.

What an idiot ...obviously if he claims that his account was fraudulently used by a 3rd party, they will limit him.

:D :D :D
