Possible Scam from buyer
I sold my iPhone to this Nigerian name for $310. he sent me a note right away saying he wanted a refund if the phone wasn't how I described it in the auction. I knew he could be trouble after I saw that message about possibly wanting a refund. I normally give my buyers a positive review right after they pay but I had a bad feeling this one. Seriously, if he emailed me before I would have told me to stay away from my auction.
He subsequently emailed me to say he wanted a refund because the item was slow booting up and there was an App store login he was not familiar with. Well two things:
1) iPhones and iPod users know that these device do take a bit of time to bootup and shutdown, that's why people don't power down their devices. I send him a link to a forum where people had discussions about that.
2) App Store login = iTune login! I told him that but he wouldn't listen.
He sent me an email back saying he has an iphone and it's not like that an dI'm not being reasonable. Well, if he really has an iphone, he would know to put his own itune login in!
I gave him free shipping that cost me almost $10 including signature confirmation to make sure it got to you safely. Check out other iPhone auctions and see how many people give free shipping! He mentioned he was a "reputable buyer". Well... I did not get 35 100% positive reviews here for ripping people off!!
I'm so angry right now that I'm sure what to do. He already paid thru paypal and payment is still pending. I think he's trying to report me to paypal and get his money returned to him. This buyer has 62 postive feedback as a buyer but he's trying me out
