tyrantblade Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 But the seller won't get away with it, I paid for a PS4 PRO and he sent me a CNET Magazine with the tracking number he gave me for the ps4 pro he was supposed to send. I already called eBay and PayPal customer support and now my money is on hold, kinda disappointing since it's a clear cut case of fraud; but I'm not about to wait, any further funny business and I will call ebay or paypal back and get them to put my refund through automatically. I don't get how people think this kind of scam will work out well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisHarleQuinn Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 It could have been an honest mistake @tyrantblade as someone who's sold on eBay since well, highschool and so does my dad for part of his comic book business (instead of just selling locally) it DOES happen. It's happened to me before, pretty sure it has my dad too just starting out. People can make honest mistakes, don't just always assume the worst. I hope things get figured out and fixed in your favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrantblade Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Well, I tried ebay and paypal customer support again, they basically said I'm gonna have to wait almost 2 weeks to give the seller the right to respond and stall the process of refunding my money in this clear case of fraud. Pass along the below video to everybody so hopefully ebay and paypal will see how wrong they are and start to actually care more about the honest buyer rather than the fraudulent seller.

HisHarleQuinn Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 @tyrantblade I've sent the wrong books to people before. How? I put the wrong shipping label/postage label on the wrong package. that' how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere in America someone is probably pretty bewildered about why he's looking at a PS4 PRO and not a CNET Magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no mistake, another guy thought he was buying some rare expensive tube amplifier, paid like $2800 dollars and their feedback says they received a "dirty book"; this guy meant to send me a magazine for like 1% of what I paid, now I gotta wait 11 days for a refund because they believe the seller should have a chance to try to work things out with the buyer. Never mind this guy only has positive feedback from buying and only negative feedback from selling (i took a chance because I thought ebay and paypal were gonna take care of me, not wait almost 2 weeks for giving a new seller a chance to do the right thing and build themselves up).

tyrantblade Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Just to let you guys know, I'm persistent and will not give up until I get my refund, if they keep going for 11 days I will be their biggest nightmare/headache for 11 days.

jt07 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Wow. And for that you got a magazine? It'd be rather difficult to mix up the packages on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult? More like impossible, the seller is clearly a scumbag with nothing better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisHarleQuinn Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I've had some problems with them before as well, I don't blame you for being persistent in getting a refund. You should get what you paid for, that's kind of a duhhhh thing. So tell them, DUH. Lol. I would keep bothering them too, they're suppose to refund or send the right item in a situation like this. And since they sent the wrong thing, they're responsible for shipping this time round if you paid for it when you purchased, as well as return shipping. I got the wrong thing on like, Amazon once? I think? I ordered, let's say an adult item, I didn't get it. I got something totally different. Like.....bikini wax stuff? I didn't know what it was to be honest, I just knew it wasn't what I ordered. I contacted them and they sent the right thing, plus something extra if I remember correctly, but no plug for it. It was sort of a lost cause, never again,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
