eBay Scammers! Help!
 

Alright so recently....on eBay I notice these ****ers trying to buy my item and not let paypal receive the payments...They tell me to ship but I have not got the funds...I wont ship it im not stupid...

But look these ebay tards are ****ing pissing me off....How do I let eBay know about this problem? Or prevent scammers from buying? The worst part is the buyers wont cancel, so it shows up on my monthly ebay bill and lowers my seller feedback....

Please help....



Note : This Account is stealth. The item they try to scam me for is $300.

Spoof your number and call in to report them. That's going to be your best bet. Just have your account info in front of you and make sure you call in from the right number. If you tell them what's going on they'll delete all the transactions from your account and possibly report the buyers to whoever at eBay kills buyer accounts.

If you're scared to call you can try emailing. Emailing never gets much done though.

How do I spoof my number?

I recommend you add a GV number (linked to your cell phone) to your eBay account first and then spoof the GV #. That way if they request to call you back you'll be good.

But do you know any guides?

Can u require immediate payment so they have to pay immediately when they order?

Require immediate payment.

If they don't pay there's nothing they can do in any case.

Hah, I forgot to mention yesterday - If these are auctions, turn on unpaid item assistant and set it to open cases after 2 days. That way you will automatically be credited back fees for unpaid orders. If they're BIN listings then do what the others have said and require immediate payment when you make your listings.

BTW if you're really concerned about it I've had sales deleted from my records before by calling in. Once it was a case where a guy had left nothing but negative feedback for his entire buying career. The rep removed the sale for me and forwarded the buyer account to another department. Couple days later that account was gone.

I had a lot of these lately. If your listings are BIN, check the box that says to "require immediate payment when buyer selects Buy-It-Now".

I've also had a few "hacked" accounts win my listings, only to find out later the packages went unclaimed at the Post Office (due to signature required) and after a couple weeks the real account holder files a changeback due to "unauthorized transactions".

There seems to be more scammers out pre-holiday season than usual. I'm having to manually verify and confirm EVERY order now before I porocess. A bit annoying.
