I want to thank you a million. Recently, I was thinking about purchasing items and decided to check into eBay's rep. I know zillions of people make purchases with no problem, BUT some of us are screw magnets. I always get screwed. But not this time, thanks to you.
Late to see this video but, as a seller, I want to clarify something. When I am sending out a package and I print the label at home I put it on the package and into my mailbox waiting for the mail carrier to pick it up. If I check the tracking it will say, "SHIPPING LBL CREATED USPS AWAITS ITEM". When they pick it up (or have it back at the post office) and scan it, the tracking will indicate this. It is NOT a red-flag to see the USPS is waiting for the item. Thank you for the rest of the info. I hope this all worked out for you.
Yeah! Exactly! You print the label at home and then it immediately says “USPS awaits item” up until about an hour after the post office receives and processes it. Its not a red flag.
I don't sell on eBay but I ship some of my work to customer and it's usually at this stage until the pick up guy scans the package a second time arriving at the facility, probably depends on the courrier and regions.
Then there are those sellers automating shipping label created, ebay has a bug interpreting that as shipped, then when they do not ship anything, ebay has buyer blocked.
Ebay money back guarantee is very applicable when it comes to non receipt claims.. Just make sure to open a claim within 30 days from the estimated delivery date.
@@Mark-ms3fw That means, for example, if your item was estimated to be delivered to you by the 1st of March 2022, you can open a dispute claim within the next 30 days from the 1st of March 2022.
I have to tell you, there’s way more scams against the sellers than buyers. eBay always sides with the buyer. And btw: when it says: “USPS awaits item”, that’s not necessarily a red flag. All my items say that as soon as I print a label at my house up until about an hour after I drop it off at the post office and the post office people have had time to enter it in their system.
"ebay always sides with the buyer" well i guess im not even that then, ive been scammed several times by now... ebay ignoring me, sellers ignoring me. Looks like itll happen again one more time right now, this might be the last time i buy something on this awful site to be honest... Lost around $200 in total from the purchases i did not recieve
My friend was scammed out of his $600 guitar pedal plus an extra $1800. He tried to recover it all for a whole year. Ebay did not help him, so... Yeah ebay does not help everyone who gets scammed
Ive been a seller on ebay since 2013.... This same scam happened to me in 2024 :( and they got to keep the item and I was none the wiser until it was too late and I went back to look at the user 2 months later and theyre account was taken down. Im not sure if they got in trouble but I refunded the full amount, and lost the item. It feels like such a violation. Thank you for making this video, I feel like I finally got closure and understood what went down.
I'm a first time seller and the one contact I've had for a potential buyer, was a scammer. First tried to prove they were reputable by saying they were over seas in the US Navy. They then asked if I would send the item one state away. [The problem], it was an gift for their cousin (different address) and they wanted me to buy them an $400. Gift card to go with my item, and that they would pay with a personal check and an gift card.
homie, very good advice and thanks much man. same thing here, called fedex and they are telliing me the shipper shipped the item to a totally different address and my name wasn't even there. then i saw your video you're awesome bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got scammed by an ebay seller who sent an item to a different address in this town to get a signature confirmation of a delivery. The next day my ebay order listed a tracking number for that delivery. I knew it was a scam. Thanks to your good info I got my money back, but it wasn't easy. You have to be very persistent!
May have gotten scammed today, or postal worker did or didn’t do something to package, tracking says “attempted delivery 4:25pm yesterday” and “stored at post office at customer request”. However I just went to post office and they looked up the tracking number, saw it was legit, looked in the lockers and didn’t find it tried calling the postal worker who was suppose to deliver it and they couldn’t reach them. So had to give name and number, said they would get back to me with what happened.
you outsmarted the hell out of that guy, nice :D edit: this scam didnt happen to me, i just found this video while looking for ebay scams as i dont use ebay often and wanted to be informed. thanks for the info!
I just sold on eBay and the amount was over $1000. I was told by Mary in the department that holds funds and was told that even though the buyer has their item and left me wonderful feedback they are holding my money for 21 days. Just Incase the buyer would change their mind in that 21 days so I would have the funds for sure, to give back to them. That is a bunch of BS! Sounds to me like the sellers have 0 protection! As a buyer you can purchase even high dollar items then have buyers remorse keep them for 21 days and then say you want your money back and the seller would have to give it to you! What kind of BS policy is this????
Just because someone prints a label and doesn’t take it to the post office right away doesn’t mean it’s a “red flag”. I’ve bought numerous items and the seller usually waits till the last day to ship. And I thought you can open a INR case for ANYTHING with the eBay money back guarantee? That’s usually the biggest scam is the money back INR. In your case this should be open and shut case in favor of you with no headaches
The post office will provide a geo location tracking log for the item upon request at the post office. It will also show the original label and all info on it. Scammers tried to get me in the past but instead they got their accounts closed..
I got scammed by a buyer once and they can never scam me again. I’m educated enough! The world is filled with f scammers, so be careful whether you’re a seller or customer
Seeing that the label has been made, but that the package hasn't been shipped isn't that abnormal. I have a package coming from a seller (outside of ebay) in Italy, and origin post is still waiting for package. they are completely legit, but just haven't actually shipped it yet.
@@dinkiethesink yeh i realize that. i am speaking to his implication that it could be used as a general rule of thumb. it is very normal for people to create shipping labels with their printer before giving it to the post office
Saltyhmm lmao glad to hear that bro justicee I’ve never experienced something bad on eBay since I only buy but I do know that there’s mean people there you just gotta watch out on the reviews
I've won 2 diamond rings on eBay this year (so far). In 1 auction my bid was cancelled without my consent. In another the auction was closed just hours before it ended, " item no longer available)! Both times spoke to Ebay. Both Sellers still on eBay. I've been banned by both.
When a label is created that is in office through ebay site....it is part of handling and packaging...the created label goes on the package to be shipped....and then the seller in 3 handling days...takes the items to usps or places them in their box for usps to pick up......until then you will see label created item awaits for usps....once the usps scans the label then you can see delivery details...so this first part of your story was not a scam but a process....depends...can be on same day of request or next day of request or 3rd day of request depending upon is usps is closed or open due to holidays....that seller was surely a scam...😂
This happened to me i open a request and have to wait until the 23rd for ebay to step in, already called and reported the seller, thanks for the vid . In my case the ebay seller sent a fedex tracking number after a week or two, I called fedex to know the location of the package when they ask me for my name and address they say that my name and address didn’t match and that it didn’t came from an ebay sell, idk how these scammers are doing it, but it sucks never thought this is a common thing until it happened to me.
Well, they only hold the money for 20 days or whatever if you are a "beginner" seller. Once you get to a certain status then you get your cash immediately. But obviously if you are at the stage past beginner then you likely aint a scammer.
In my 20 years helping my father and buying/selling on Ebay myself. I can say it finally happened to me where a chinese scammer sent off a letter to some house in another state and another box that was heading towards my general direction and delivered to someone else because it was a package not intended for me at all. I literally told the Ebay rep on the phone all the proof and for them to check it and I am literally just on there with some foreigner weirdo who is useless....as a foreigner myself whose served and returned to serve in the US Army...I now understand why people just dislike foreigners sometimes .... I blame Ebay hahahaha but long story short I went through my bank/paypal because Ebay was immensely inept on the matter when the evidence is in their face
eBay scammers try to always make sure there's a fair amount of physical distance between himself and the person he is scamming, whether it be buying or selling.
A new wrinkle has been added by the scammer that got me on eBay. I bought the item. They didn't send it but bought a cheap dummy item on Amazon and had it sent it to a real address in my town with another name. UPS gave them a tracking number for the dummy item and they added that to my eBay order like it was for real. when it was delivered to the wrong address it was marked as delivered on eBay in my home town. They ruled in favor of the seller. UPS wouldn't give me information. Amazon hinted around it not being the item I said it should be and that it wasn't sent to my name and address. Once the addresses don't match they clam up and cannot give you any information. I am still fighting it in appeal and I hope that UPS and Amazon's refusal to give me information due to the fact that the name and address are not the same as mine will be proof that the package was not sent to me.
I've had this happen before and not been able to claim back. And lo and behold, I've now got another one. A sewing machine this time. And the seller isn't responding. I have flagged it up with ebay and awaiting response so I'm at the start of my claim. Ebay are not always helpful. Will be thinking twice about buying from there again as I lost a lot of money at the beginning of last year. And as soon as I have tried to buy something else, I have got a problem again. Its a shame. But no longer think its worth it. Too many bargains have gone wrong and been expensive mistakes. Someone's made cash, but it's not me.
I Have not heard of this Scam. but was scammed buy a seller selling new items at a 90% discount, and go a picture of the item in the post, looked again at the listing and saw it now said in very small print Picture only. did not get my money back. but as a seller now I have been scammed too.
Hello. I was misled by a seller on Ebay and the customer service people. I can't leave the situation like this. I have registered with customer service. Where can I go, what can I do? I don't want to leave the situation like that
Hey prince, if you want to buy any products from ebay or other online sites you must be read about reviews.and i must tell you that you would be connect with next level ninjas they will give you all the details of all products so it would be easy to buy any products from any websites.
Anybody else here having issues with a ridiculous increase in order cancellations since paypal decided to keep all fees? As soon as this policy started my cancellations went through the roof.. I updated my listings to include a note regarding non-refundable paypal fees for cancellations. I had to call ebay to close out the returns after doing the partial refund through paypal. But now that they aren't taking calls they are flat out ignoring my messages.. Honestly it feels like the scammers, work for ebay..
I bought an items, went to my history and it says item not found a couple minutes later it’s shows my item. And it says the item was shipped on the same day 10 minutes after I bought it. Never used eBay before, is this a scam? It says it’s sending it to my address.
I have a problem I bought something for 25 dollars on ebay than I received an email saying the payment didn't go through than I checked my money and I it didn't refund my 25 dollars so what should i do? Someone plz help
@DinkieTheSink I know this comment is 9 months late but My curent problem is that i bought a item and the tracking says voided information received any idea what it means and how i can fix the problem
I'm way too scared, I really don't want to go through the hassle if it happens, there are some good prices for a graphics card that I need for my first pc build
USPS awaiting an item to be dropped off is NOT a red flag. This is natural. Postage is paid for before it's printed and it's printed before placed on the packaged item, and the item is packaged before it's dropped off at USPS. Give a seller a break and don't complain. It takes a minute. Sometines it doesn't make it out the day it was packaged and needs to get dropped off the next day.
Im not selling on ebay again. I sold an item for £600 and i never get the money. It was show as paid and but he cancelled the payment when the item is delivered.
Im getting an amd ryzen 3 with rx 560 4gb , 8gb ram 1tb hdd and 240ssd pc with a 120$ motherboard(idk the brand) . Will it run like League of Legends , Cs:Go , Ark survival evolved ?
I was going very impatient because my delivery hasn't arrived. I have been waiting for 6 days, but the item has been dispatched for 3 days.. The item says order is being prepared after Friday 21. But its probably because of covid-19. But please I don't what this means I am new to ebay.
LMFAO THE SUBTITLES ARE DRUNK THEY ARE LIKE "to me and all of the girls go to school and rare words and for those of you are sorry sobre esse clipe nome toy story" Also I didn't really understand the first ones but the "sobre esse clipe" is when he said "so basically, and to understand what I mean go to 0:19 and turn on subtitles.

hello! If a person on eBay is selling for example a bumper and has 98.8% positive feedback and has 2 reviews one with some showing a picture of the item and on the car and has 194 sold is that a good person to buy form??
Sadly, you are not correct in your thinking that the postal service will do as they should do and scan + weigh the packages if they are brought in, some do and some do not if they are overwhelmed with packages, we used to bring our packages in and leave them on the counter to be scanned in when they got more time, it frees up having to stand in line. Now things have changed, they will not scan them or weigh them if you just leave them on the counter as some rule internally within postal service is changed so they do not have to do this. Now instead we have to stand in line with sometimes 30 plus packages and scan and weigh each, makes all the other customers very happy as well. So long story short, do not always think because it does not show up at the post office that it has not been left there, depends on how lazy they are at the post office.
I don’t know if I should buy 2 designer belts for 50$ but he got like 2 complaints for each 5 good ones and he is only got 2 items men I need some help
ebay scammers keep giving me fake tracking number, and never ships item, hoping you will just forget about it. I love shopping on ebay because there are many good items, with many good sellers. But then there are the scammers. I hate the scammers.
A seller scammed me my item was supposed to deliver by 6 December and still didn’t receive it a fila small bag they let me get my money back in Australia we have a law on refund must refund
I sold Jordan shoes and the buyer scammed me. Sent the 300 to me. Once I mailed it. He sent 200 more dollars then tried to get refund. And it withheld my money. Then PayPal said I had to buy 200 iphone card. To get my money. I did it. And still didn’t get my money. What should I do ?
I had this happen to me as well. I didn't know I was scammed and figured a porch pirate had gotten the package even though the security camera didn't show anyone. $20 item so I left negative feedback and forgot about it.
Hey Mr i am glad to help you, if you have any problem like that i would recommend to you next level ninjas it would be help you to get organic reviews and your problem answers.
This happens too often on ebay. They need to create a rule that a seller has 5days to send the item. If not the buyer is refunded and order cancelled. Annoys the crap out of me that I have to then wait until after the est delivery date to open a case with ebay to get a refund 🤬
hello there, I'm just seeing this video and I ordered a part and it came, but it was the wrong color. and I sent them the item back and they claim that my refund was sent out and my credit card company saying that it has not. can you please tell me what I can do? have the proof that I sent the item back
Yeah I always read everything carefully before I buy it I only had one item come or should I say two items come messed up thank God they didn’t cost that much it took me forever and a day to return those I had open with Ebay customer service thanks for your video appreciate it happy holidays
I know this is late but you seem to have used it multiple times how can I make sure if the item o want to buy is from a worthy seller or how do you know when it’s shipping
It will show a tracking history as to every location it was scanned. Easy call to to ebay to get your money back. Tracking history will show it was nowhere near your location. Definite scam. Good catch but always check tracking history location scans.
I was bidding for something, and I feel like the seller was on another account and bidding again and again till I had to bid 26 pounds 😕 I think it’s just me idk
Ebay does not hold the money if there a regular user most cases they get there money right away. but if there new users they will then hold it for so many days. The one that just scammed me is no longer a user so i hope i get my refund. This sucks cause when you buy online and you get a date you could have got an item sooner now i have to wait even longer as i do not have the cash to throw at another one.
I would love to buy the clix keyboard cuz they dont ship to my country from matrix but ive seen one Guy what is scammer He is sellikg 5 keyboards And haves only photos from matrix site is IT safe to buy the keyboard from someone?
@@succafree3212 turns out I got lucky 😅 he actually did ship it to me, and the post office took forever, I assumed he shipped to himself because of how sus everything was
im worried because the item says it was shipped and the tracking number says awaiting items just like in the video so now im anxious after watching this video
The best way to resolve it is to call ebay support and tell the Bot that answers I said "Speak to an agent" and it brought me to an ebay support person who fixed my problem. If they cant answer because of covid you'll have to file an "Item not received case" on ebay.
What if item says it’s deliver but I never received it. At usps they said it had my zip code but no address like wtf. What should I do will eBay be on my side or will they side with the seller because it said deliver?
I'm scared that my laptop charger wont come i saw a ton of them being sold all with the same images i have been super happy as my mother has finally trusted me to online shop. I myself have insane trust issues and have been worried since Wednesday
@@fukyu2 yeah i did actually it was stuck in transit so they sent another (i ordered from america and i live in australia) and it came in 24 hours with free delivery i really recommend it!
They haven't spent two bucks because they can cancel the tracking and get their money back. Then use a tracking number of a completely different item going back to their own address.
Yh it happen to me 2times this month I didn't get my items no refund eBay team member didn't belive it they said it deliverd yh it's deliverd but not my house 2item they deliverd somewhere and shows my address but they eBay didn't belive me they said they see it's deliverd my house what can I do I did call eBay they didn't help.and eBay seller didn't response my any message ups ppl told me they deliverd somewhere not in my house I lost my 200 dollar

Did he have good reviews? If not, why sell to him?
Getting scammed by a seller is a harder situation to deal with.
Creating a label creates the shipped notification. This happens ALL THE TIME and is NOT a red flag….
Tips for kid’s. Research the seller. Years selling, number of sold items, feedback,. Don’t go for lowest price.
Bloody right. On fb marketplace I only buy from sellers that have been on fb for years. Not from. Recently created fb pages.
same here, reporting it as fraud at the bank was the only out.

I am still fighting it in appeal and I hope that UPS and Amazon's refusal to give me information due to the fact that the name and address are not the same as mine will be proof that the package was not sent to me.
I've had this happen before and not been able to claim back.
And lo and behold, I've now got another one. A sewing machine this time. And the seller isn't responding.
I have flagged it up with ebay and awaiting response so I'm at the start of my claim.
Ebay are not always helpful. Will be thinking twice about buying from there again as I lost a lot of money at the beginning of last year. And as soon as I have tried to buy something else, I have got a problem again.
Its a shame. But no longer think its worth it. Too many bargains have gone wrong and been expensive mistakes. Someone's made cash, but it's not me.
I Have not heard of this Scam. but was scammed buy a seller selling new items at a 90% discount, and go a picture of the item in the post, looked again at the listing and saw it now said in very small print Picture only. did not get my money back. but as a seller now I have been scammed too.
How can you as a buyer k ow he shipped it to himself just by looking at the tracking number?
you can click the number and it shows a tracking history.
Hello. I was misled by a seller on Ebay and the customer service people. I can't leave the situation like this. I have registered with customer service. Where can I go, what can I do? I don't want to leave the situation like that
Hey I'm having a problem cause I'm in the middle of a process of buying a car off a seller from eBay

This same scam happened to me. Glad I found this video. You just got a new subscriber.
I bought something on eBay and the tracking number is weird now it says is out for delivery! But I am not in the city is being out for delivery ! :(
Anybody else here having issues with a ridiculous increase in order cancellations since paypal decided to keep all fees? As soon as this policy started my cancellations went through the roof.. I updated my listings to include a note regarding non-refundable paypal fees for cancellations. I had to call ebay to close out the returns after doing the partial refund through paypal. But now that they aren't taking calls they are flat out ignoring my messages.. Honestly it feels like the scammers, work for ebay..
thanks, mate this is REALLY!!!!! good advice, cause I'm in a bid for an i3 10100F CPU, and its 40$ do u think that's too good to be true?
I bought an items, went to my history and it says item not found a couple minutes later it’s shows my item. And it says the item was shipped on the same day 10 minutes after I bought it. Never used eBay before, is this a scam? It says it’s sending it to my address.
I have a problem I bought something for 25 dollars on ebay than I received an email saying the payment didn't go through than I checked my money and I it didn't refund my 25 dollars so what should i do? Someone plz help
Red Flag #1 is not always a scam, I ran late once, but shipping to one self is definitely is a scam.
@DinkieTheSink I know this comment is 9 months late but My curent problem is that i bought a item and the tracking says voided information received any idea what it means and how i can fix the problem
I'm way too scared, I really don't want to go through the hassle if it happens, there are some good prices for a graphics card that I need for my first pc build
I think I have that same open frame. Is it from Thermaltake?
It is not a red flag for your tracking to state USPS awaits item. That is what ALL labels show when you print them.
USPS awaiting an item to be dropped off is NOT a red flag. This is natural. Postage is paid for before it's printed and it's printed before placed on the packaged item, and the item is packaged before it's dropped off at USPS. Give a seller a break and don't complain. It takes a minute. Sometines it doesn't make it out the day it was packaged and needs to get dropped off the next day.
Thats true but the way it was originally stated could confuse an amatuer buyer
I'm really hyped for that Cablemod 2r55gb review! Keep up the good work and try not to get scammed too many times, Dinky :P
How do we call ebay?
Sea4ch google
Found a keobr_66 saleing Nintendo switch lite for 40 dollars.. new.. In large quantities. People buying it out fast. Scam or not?

I was going very impatient because my delivery hasn't arrived. I have been waiting for 6 days, but the item has been dispatched for 3 days..
The item says order is being prepared after Friday 21. But its probably because of covid-19. But please I don't what this means I am new to ebay.
LMFAO THE SUBTITLES ARE DRUNK THEY ARE LIKE "to me and all of the girls go to school and rare words and for those of you are sorry sobre esse clipe nome toy story" Also I didn't really understand the first ones but the "sobre esse clipe" is when he said "so basically, and to understand what I mean go to 0:19 and turn on subtitles. LOL
Its in Portuguese idiot

hello! If a person on eBay is selling for example a bumper and has 98.8% positive feedback and has 2 reviews one with some showing a picture of the item and on the car and has 194 sold is that a good person to buy form??
Did he ever win the case?
Sadly, you are not correct in your thinking that the postal service will do as they should do and scan + weigh the packages if they are brought in, some do and some do not if they are overwhelmed with packages, we used to bring our packages in and leave them on the counter to be scanned in when they got more time, it frees up having to stand in line. Now things have changed, they will not scan them or weigh them if you just leave them on the counter as some rule internally within postal service is changed so they do not have to do this. Now instead we have to stand in line with sometimes 30 plus packages and scan and weigh each, makes all the other customers very happy as well.
So long story short, do not always think because it does not show up at the post office that it has not been left there, depends on how lazy they are at the post office.
there were 503 items sold.. from the item I wanted and he has 5 stars and good reviews trust worthy ? Help reply please !
he is legit
Hello. Does the person you bought the item from is highly rated?
I don’t know if I should buy 2 designer belts for 50$ but he got like 2 complaints for each 5 good ones and he is only got 2 items men I need some help
Secret word is so secret i aint gonna tell you
ebay scammers keep giving me fake tracking number, and never ships item, hoping you will just forget about it.
I love shopping on ebay because there are many good items, with many good sellers. But then there are the scammers. I hate the scammers.
A seller scammed me my item was supposed to deliver by 6 December and still didn’t receive it a fila small bag they let me get my money back in Australia we have a law on refund must refund
I sold Jordan shoes and the buyer scammed me. Sent the 300 to me. Once I mailed it. He sent 200 more dollars then tried to get refund. And it withheld my money. Then PayPal said I had to buy 200 iphone card. To get my money. I did it. And still didn’t get my money. What should I do ?
I had this happen to me as well. I didn't know I was scammed and figured a porch pirate had gotten the package even though the security camera didn't show anyone. $20 item so I left negative feedback and forgot about it.
Bro can you help us if we have problems like that. Thx
Hey Mr i am glad to help you, if you have any problem like that i would recommend to you next level ninjas it would be help you to get organic reviews and your problem answers.
This happens too often on ebay. They need to create a rule that a seller has 5days to send the item. If not the buyer is refunded and order cancelled.
Annoys the crap out of me that I have to then wait until after the est delivery date to open a case with ebay to get a refund 🤬
What do I do I keep calling ebay and I can’t get to a person
hello there, I'm just seeing this video and I ordered a part and it came, but it was the wrong color. and I sent them the item back and they claim that my refund was sent out and my credit card company saying that it has not. can you please tell me what I can do? have the proof that I sent the item back
File a dispute with credit card company
Yeah I always read everything carefully before I buy it I only had one item come or should I say two items come messed up thank God they didn’t cost that much it took me forever and a day to return those I had open with Ebay customer service thanks for your video appreciate it happy holidays
I bought some ram off ebay and a day after the account got removed:/ idk if I got scammed
What if they don’t give you tracking number it just said paid
then you have to wait for the seller, to ship the item
@@pencilknight8810 okay thxs
This sucks for EBay. They should be checking who is using their site for these scams. I used to use EBay a lot. It suck’s lately
Never came across this scam but ebay customer service are usually pretty good in my experience.
I know this is late but you seem to have used it multiple times how can I make sure if the item o want to buy is from a worthy seller or how do you know when it’s shipping
It will show a tracking history as to every location it was scanned. Easy call to to ebay to get your money back. Tracking history will show it was nowhere near your location. Definite scam. Good catch but always check tracking history location scans.
I was bidding for something, and I feel like the seller was on another account and bidding again and again till I had to bid 26 pounds 😕 I think it’s just me idk
Thanks for the heads up. I need a cable mod au482m so will watch of for scammers.
Ebay does not hold the money if there a regular user most cases they get there money right away. but if there new users they will then hold it for so many days. The one that just scammed me is no longer a user so i hope i get my refund. This sucks cause when you buy online and you get a date you could have got an item sooner now i have to wait even longer as i do not have the cash to throw at another one.
I would love to buy the clix keyboard cuz they dont ship to my country from matrix but ive seen one Guy what is scammer He is sellikg 5 keyboards And haves only photos from matrix site is IT safe to buy the keyboard from someone?
Same thing happened to a friend of mine. Thankfully he got his money back.
How, just happened to me
@@gioootalks4850 did u get ur money back?
@@succafree3212 turns out I got lucky 😅 he actually did ship it to me, and the post office took forever, I assumed he shipped to himself because of how sus everything was
im worried because the item says it was shipped and the tracking number says awaiting items just like in the video so now im anxious after watching this video
They have to ship it to the address on your account, if they ship it to a different address its an automatic refund.
Is there any way for me contacting you, I’m currently going through what you were and your help will be greatly appreciated
The best way to resolve it is to call ebay support and tell the Bot that answers I said "Speak to an agent" and it brought me to an ebay support person who fixed my problem. If they cant answer because of covid you'll have to file an "Item not received case" on ebay.
I bought a cheap series s really hope I don’t want to get scammed
What if item says it’s deliver but I never received it. At usps they said it had my zip code but no address like wtf. What should I do will eBay be on my side or will they side with the seller because it said deliver?
What ended up happening? You probably had to contact your post office and have them send you proof the package never was processed.
Someone tried this on me with a laptop ebay where useless paypal sorted it
I'm scared that my laptop charger wont come i saw a ton of them being sold all with the same images i have been super happy as my mother has finally trusted me to online shop. I myself have insane trust issues and have been worried since Wednesday
Did you get it?
Did you by any chance get the charger?
@@fukyu2 I got what I ordered, it helps if you look at overall review of vendor
@@fukyu2 yeah i did actually it was stuck in transit so they sent another (i ordered from america and i live in australia) and it came in 24 hours with free delivery i really recommend it!
dusty gold Ah glad you did, I ordered a gpu and I hope it actually comes here.
They haven't spent two bucks because they can cancel the tracking and get their money back. Then use a tracking number of a completely different item going back to their own address.
I purchased an item and then the seller deleted the item right away. Also shipped to a different address in my city to cover up their scam in route!!!
Yh it happen to me 2times this month I didn't get my items no refund eBay team member didn't belive it they said it deliverd yh it's deliverd but not my house 2item they deliverd somewhere and shows my address but they eBay didn't belive me they said they see it's deliverd my house what can I do I did call eBay they didn't help.and eBay seller didn't response my any message ups ppl told me they deliverd somewhere not in my house I lost my 200 dollar
