ALERT: Annoying Amazon buyer for multiple accounts

[subzero3001]

I have a specific buyer buying from many of my multiple Amazon accounts, the st@$%&* diot will buy one item and he claims was for a gift for a person who already owns one, and then he will return it and claim for a refund.

I just gave him a refund and did not answer any more emails.

I think he does the same for many sellers.

Has this or those buyers came on your path? How do you handle them?

[johnsmith]

Just give them a refund what else are you gonna do. Amazon will just jack you and hold your money for 90 days. I guess it just depends on how much cash you have.

Weird

Amazon only allows 5 refunds per lifetime right?

So what's this guy's M.O. then? Is he just basically trying to "rent" items for free by doing this or what?

That was my thought. How does this benefit the buyer?

He/she could just have a few screws loose.

Also, I've never heard of a 5 refund lifetime limit.

The "5" lifetime limit pertains to claims, not refunds. Just checked

It's 5 A to Z reimbursements, I think.

[rsot]

5 refund per account limit.

I just had a buyer purchase something and then after I printed the postage and confirmed the shipment he emailed me and asked to return it before it was even shipped. I kept the shipping fee but refunded him the difference. Wonder if its the same person?

I hope they don't leave you bad feedback... what a pain.

[mycrowman]

If you don't mind what type of items are we talking about here? Media?

[Gamefreak]

Probably claiming that the item is not in the package and just having you issue a refund and keep the item or something of that nature...

I personally had amazon refund me about 5k of items a few years back before they said to me through the phone that i could go to jail for saying i did not receive items and did I understand the consequences. They give you a few refunds, but after a while if your return policy is high they will shut you down even as a buyer!! Note: Im just giving some reference from experience. Do not think any funny stuff you suckers! lol

[rsot]

@Fandan - so you are saying that you have scammed 5k worth of items from sellers?

[Gamefreak]

I do it like 3 times a year with amazon for pricey items. But again I buy A LOT of stuff from amazon... So i'm sure my refund rate is still low.

[Sell4more2]

Why would you people do that???

There's not much you can do. It's a lot easier to set-up stealth buyer accounts than it is seller accounts. The buyers get to choose the sellers, it doesn't work the other way , I wish it did,

Stealth buyer accounts come in handy if you need to boost your FB. If I go on a road trip I just use the accounts in different cites so the IP's match. I might set-up the accounts one trip and use them the next. You can just get a stack of delivery confirmation numbers at the P.O if you want, and if you really want to make it look real just send out empty boxes.

I just use these tactics if I get some warning my FB is too low. It's too much hassle for me to do all the time. Sometimes it's just more fun to let the buyers know what I really think if I'm not worried about the account. I've called one of the buyers a retard and then the mother complained to me about me being mean to her son, that was a certified retard or whatever the PC name is for that.

So you called the kid a retard and he really is a retard?

I just thought it was another annoying customer, I didn't know ahead of time. I just guessed right with my analysis of the customers reasoning abilities, and expressed those thoughts.

He bought something in the morning and by the time I checked my e-mail later in the day he had already sent me a bunch of e-mails that got progressively worse by the hour, since he didn't get a instant reply.

So then I wrote back saying he was a moron or retard. Then the mom wrote me and complained about something or another.

I was kindof teasing you. Yes, that is annoying!

some people shouldn't be allowed to use the internet. At the same time, being a seller you have to kneel and brown nose to EVERYONE. I had someone buy an item that I listed as new, description read: "THE BOX IS BENT!!! Everything still plays fine..." blah blah blah. I get negative feedback saying that the box was bent. what can you do?
