Re: Is amazon as full of scammers regarding apple products as ebay now?. Fba allows for Amazon to "literally" inspect your item for sale OP |
Dmshark25 | 12-22-2014 05:40 AM | Re: Is amazon as full of scammers regarding apple products as ebay now?. Op is talking about the Buyers being Scammers though not Selllers |
eBay King | 12-22-2014 11:02 AM | Re: Is amazon as full of scammers regarding apple products as ebay now?. Yes, they are talking about buyer fraud, not seller fraud.
It is quite bad these days with certain products.
Was the 40% buyer fraud rate calculated from your own experience of sales versus problems? |

Is there a source for this data or is this just your experience? |
Athletichunta | 12-22-2014 03:02 PM | Re: Is amazon as full of scammers regarding apple products as ebay now?. Yes absolutely .jus about hal of the time i will have a low feedback scammer try and scam me. This was until i put disclaimers in my auctions regardingding needing to call if feedback wasnt high enough. Nigerians are having products shipped to people in the u .s and are having them pay them through western union half the value. They are using stolen bank accounts and charge backs and cases. |
zyzz_brah | 12-22-2014 03:08 PM | Re: Is amazon as full of scammers regarding apple products as ebay now?. In a way yes, if you buy from individual sellers...specially for stuff like earpods, lightning cables etc...i know this because i used to be one of those sellers....i would sell the chinese knock offs under apple listings...it used to make me a lot of money until amazon started cracking down...
but if you buy from FBA sellers, then you should be good |
lyl797 | 04-04-2016 03:54 PM | Re: Is amazon as full of scammers regarding apple products as ebay now?. OMG, just can't do business on AMAZON
Too many scammers, especially from NY, FL and NC
Sent signature cofirmation, they claim received empty envelope or broken items, sent without signature, for sure, they calim non-receipt.
And all sorts of bogus shipping addresses
Sellers has no way to protect themselves, cannot fight back, no justice.
On eBay , sellers can block bad buyers, but on AMAZON, sellers just lose.
It's just too hard to do business on AMAZON .... rediculous.

- | I had one of those last month...claimed received empty box..a big lie of course...almost every 1-2 months i have some scammer claiming ridiculous things in amazon...a few months ago another one claimed non receipt despite usps showed as received...i usually reply them using some letter thats circulating in amazon seller forums about postal inspectors and calling postmaster etc...sellers claim that many times it exposes the scammer who "miraculously" finds the item...unfortunately did not work for me...i had to refund and in another case a chargeback was filed...in the future i will be bending even more backwards to prevent more chargebacks...1% ODR is very easy to reach with those scumbags...
i am selling in ebay the double number of years than i do in amazon and i believe i never got the empty box claim...i cannot remember when was my last defective transaction in ebay actually thats how long that was...i dont claim that ebay is perfect but for sure i feel much safer doing business there and less stress...amazon sales are usually better than elsewhere but in the end they are leveled off by the high number of scammers...only fba can prevent this from happening | All times are GMT -5.
