I sold an item delevered by email to a buyer a few weeks ago. He paid the money, then the payment went under review by paypal. It was eventually refunded by Paypal and sent back to the buyer because they said it was unauthorized from the buyers account. Five minutes later (before I had any chance to contact the buyer about this) he left me negative feedback.
I wrote and explained that it was NOT me that refunded the payment , but Paypal. He replied that paypal hadnt informed him of anything other than I ahd sent him a refund. (which I did NOT send anything, Paypal reversed the payment)
I explained all this to the buyer and submitted a request for feedback revision (this was a new account and only my third feedback, brought my score down to 66% positive) So it was a big deal to me.
He immediatley denied the request and entered a comment that the original feedback was accurate and he refues to change a thing.
So I went to his account and left him feedback, of course it has to be positive, so I wrote the comment that I would never deal with this buyer again that he was horrible etc.
Ebay REMOVED my feedback comment !!!
Said it was feedback abuse
I was Steaming mad! But I kept quiet, I had plans of my own for this buyer, who sells on this account alot more than he buys *wink*
Then a few days later after relisting the same item I sold to the original buyer, I sold it again. I said the only way that I would do email delivery is if he left positive feedback FIRST, before I send., And I would also have to mail the physical item so as to give Paypal a tracking number. The new buyer agreed to do it this way.
So he left feedback , payment was made by paypal. I withdrew all my money THEN I sent the item to his email.
He responds saying he didnt get the email... well I KNOW he did because he used the "item" I sent him that he bought, and the balance on the "item" was now $0, it was originally over $400
He filed a Paypal claim this morning saying that he never got the email, and that when he did recieve the physical item , but it has been "used up" and that the only reason he left positive feedback was bc I told him thats the only way I would make the transaction.
He also sent me a fowarded email that he recieved from some guy at LAPD, supposedly a cop who is investigating his claim..
This is the funny part: I ALSO got an email from the ORIGINAL Buyer , with the comment : " you thought you were gonna get me , looks like I got you first ha ha "
I Know how to get this guy kicked off ebay.. thats not an issue. But the Paypal account is now negative, I am NOT refunding , and he is getting the cops invloved?? For HIS scam??
I feel like I am battling ghosts here ...
