Sold to the wrong person..

Go to the post office asap and fill in a parcel recall form. Your item will be returned back to you if it hasn't been delivered yet.

How many times has that worked for you? Failed for me every time. And the clerks didn't even have the slightest clue what I was talking about. None of these retards even know packages can be recalled. Either way, it's been a useless effort.

Something like this has happened to me when i was 14 and selling on eb*y. Being very young and not knowing ANY of the rules i came across something like this. I sold f*ke branded items under my dads name which had an SSN attached to the account. One day i get a letter in the mail from a lawfirm that was 1 was page long saying i was being sued for $15k. Behind that letter were about 100 pages laws and property rights all that good stuff.

Being 14 and scared sh*tless i never showed this to my parents. I ripped it up and threw it away. Maybe it was my luck, but there were no further consequences. But i tell you this..... my balls were shaking every day for about 2 months when i saw the mail man come.

I concur, lol

I would leave that account alone. And i would have fun with the response to the return thing. But don't do this. This is just me being stupid and having fun with them

Good deterrence.

But i've seen alot of companies buy undercover - i guess different companies different method.

exactly, probably a scare tactic.....

if they wanted to proof to build a case would be more incognito.

they have brand name email and are making up a story about wrong colour, something does not seem right, they either want an easy way of getting address or just spooking him, either way I would refund and ignore, does not look like they are going to go thru the hassle of getting your bank details and trading standards, this is UK,...you US guys have no idea how much slacker things are here....

Looks like I have a bumpy ride ahead of me!

Thanks for advice guys looks like I am well and truly done with !

Im in the same boat right now! Luckily I noticed the necessary info to cancel and stop selling that item

[Sneakee]

So did you refund him yet?

Wouldn't it be easier to just say you don't take returns due to buyers remorse and just leave it at that?

[Callidus]

Refunded mine told her to keep the item and I dont want the item back, I await a response and will keep people updated for sure

[GTB]

leave that account to rest up for a good few months and when you come back to it make sure you got some nice legit inventory to sell on it

[KingRay]

Long post but gotta get my word in ..

If this is in regard to the #H# Flat Irons by chance then I would take it very seriously. The Fa#### Company has tons of info digging tactics and have for about 6yrs now. Ignore until they send you something Certified Mail. Or show up at your door. Until then its just speculation really.

Quit selling them now and dump your stock. In ways that cannot be traced. IE. Throw them in the trash. Dont be stupid and sell them on CL cheap in one lump. worst you could do. almost I guess.

You really have 2 choices, Do what I said above and just worry when something happens, if it even goes any further.

OR. If you know you are busted for sure and want to just try something before they get too deep into your info themselves::

Just contact the company directly and ask them if you can speak to them regarding the product you have and its authenticity. Ask them to take a look at a sample you have to verify it. Knowing its crap stuff, tell them you had one customer say something so you were curious. Say the last thing you want to do is sell crap products. You will have to do some real creative lying to cover your past purchasing tracks. Then they come back saying its crap merchandise and let them take what you have or send it all to them voluntarily.

That option is a big gamble and some will simply say that is stupid as hell BUT, That has been the way out for some and its much better than the alternative of letting it get too far and having them come to you on their own.

Not sure how big of a company you are or how much product you have but if its truckloads, I would go with the voluntary situation. A lawyer will surely help you with this. Charge you ridiculous amounts of money but Fines come with a record, The loss of product voluntarily is just the cash loss. If you are selling tons of them, a few thousand in retainer fees wont hurt at all.


I know several will weigh in on this post but it is what it is, trust me. Its not a secret and this specific info is out there.

Good luck but you do deserve a bit of harassment from others on here. would you want a cheap knockoff?

Call a local attorney and talk to them. Wouldn't cost much to do that. They are there to help you get out of F'ups.

[Callidus]

Not quite sure what you mean by Flat Irons nor do I know which company you're talking about can you elaborate? Maybe PM me, to be honest the company i'm talking about doesnt seem to be the same but just to clarify let me know which you are talking about

[Callidus]

Oh no it isn't what your talking about I'm talking about iPhone 4 accessories that I was selling for £13.99

[omace97]

Last week am on a bumpy road too.. Am selling car ECU. This buyer ask odd questions, like production date, why low price.

Just doesnt seem right for myself having only sold 100+ that they try me and not that person.. I know doesnt pull the spotlight away from me but just thinking out loud

Is the email address used from the official website? Or a slight variation? Might be your competitor going to extreme lengths.

For the most part you're safe with stealth and I'm not sure if all hell would break loose as other members state. Those who get caught its usually through stupid errors... e.g had you accepted the return. I highly doubt anything would come of this.

[NoneOther]

The address the item was sent to was the company's registered office.

Hardly a competitor going to extreme lengths.

It is wrong to say that you are safe with stealth as you are not. You are only safe in as much it hides your identity from e/b & p/p, not from any one who has real authority to look beyond the surface information.

[Callidus]

NoneOther is right The Genius as he has said before its very easy to find peoples info nowadays considering you can put a phone number into google and get the location of anyone, anywhere anytime. Anything and everything is possible in this day and age!

[NoneOther]

Good luck with it. Keep your head down.

[Bingo]

I thought this thread was closed a few days ago.
May I ask the OP? How long has the buyer's account opened and how many feedback does he have?
If it's a pretty new account, I think that your competitor going to extreme lengths is possible. Anyone can add any shipping address, so he also can make the company's registered office as his shipping address.
Also, are there so many sellers selling the same items as yours or only a few?
If there are only a few, the competitor can do the same thing with other sellers to drop one by one so that he will be the only seller.

Another thought in mind.
Once I sold a V item. The buyer told me that she really lovesssssss the item because she is working in that item's company so she knows how great the item is.
Applying this in your case. Perhaps, that buyer is working for that company and likes and really wants to buy your item for real !?!?

[NoneOther]

A competitor using not only the company's registered office for delivery but also the registered domain name for email, really?

That would be one very smart competitor.

I don't think so.

I forgot that the email is also the registered domain name :D.
I would like to have one question about selling Vero.
Many times you guys mention about taking your own pictures, making your own words, and providing receipts when asked so that you are able to sell vero.
Is that accepted by Ebay only?
