    - UPDATE: PayPal payment was stuck in processing for two weeks. Tried everything I could to appeal and ask for a refund, but neither PP nor eBay would allow. The Payment processed successfully two days ago, so now I'm out $100 and waiting 4 days until the seller fails to respond (OFC), at which point eBay's Resolution Center *should* step in.
    EDIT: PayPal to the rescue! Took around 60 days, but I finally got it back.

      IF they never sent you anything ebay will have to step in and refund you after 7 days of waiting and no shipment, and refund you, their refunds take about 10 days to 14 days. The seller also wont get your money even if the transaction processes immediately as its in limbo with paypal/debit/credit card company until you receive the item and even a week or so after that paypal/ebay takes another week to release the funds to the seller. So over all it takes 3 weeks to a month for a seller to get paid for each item they sell. You should get your money back(after the 7 day stipulation)

      I've been selling on eBay for a long time and never once have I ever had to wait for money to reach my account unless the paypal or eBay account was brand new, at which point I had to wait. But immediate payments, for me personally, normally go through immediately to my account.

    • @thedarkpoop1
      @thedarkpoop1 6 років тому +15

      Steven Jones it takes 21 days to get paid through paypal if you have a new account and are under the sellers probationary period.Source, Ebay community. Guy above was right with the 3 weeks to a month for sellers that are new(like the guy who sold this "GPU") This guy shouldnt be having a hard time getting his money back when seller never even gave a tracking number.
      "While you gain experience selling on eBay, access to funds from buyer payments may be delayed to promote successful fulfillment. Rest assured this is a temporary situation. As soon as you meet all of the following criteria, payments from your buyers will generally be available immediately:
      It's been more than 90 days since your first successful sale;
      You've had more than 25 sales transactions; and
      You've had more than $250 in total sales."

      PayPal holds anything higher than $50 if your PayPal account is new. The hold is for 21 days or the buyer has to confirm item is received to release the hold. Once you sell items for $3000+ PayPal stops holding your money no matter how large the transaction is

    Ebay is the worst. I bought of lot of 20 Xbox 360's that all were fixable. Receive the Xbox's and they were all dead, so I filed a claim. I won the claim initially, and then proceeded to ship them back. In the time they were in the mail, Ebay decides to overturn their original decision, and change favor in the case to the seller. The seller now has all of the Xbox's back along with my money, and Ebay proceeds to tell me they can't assist me.

      This is true for 980 Ti (which came out in the End of the Maxwell Lifecycle) and 1080 Ti (End of Pascals Lifecycle). But when you look at the lower offerings like the 1060 6GB and 1070 the 980 Ti is a decent option still (980 Tis are likely cheaper on the used market currently than a 1070 and 1060 6GB. The 1060 is actually slower than a 980Ti and the 1070 (non Ti) is only 2 % faster. Which qualifies as slight.

    I remember that time I saw a midi keyboard I wanted for half the price and spent like 3 days thinking about whether to buy it or not. The seller was selling 10, didn't say ANYTHING about the price being low (even though it was half the actual price as said before) and the condition was new. I've decided to gamble for once in my life and I was surprised to find that I got it, it was in the box, unopened, arrived fairly quickly. I just hope the seller knew the average price.

    This is someone making an account from a different country, using a stolen PayPal account, then trying to sell as many $100 cards as quick as possible and try to run off with the money leaving eBay to hold the bags.
    It’s scams like these that have made eBay change how they distribute money to sellers after purchases have been completed. eBay holds on to the money now and doesn’t let you disperse it until they are good that the transaction is complete and both buyer and seller are happy.

    If you use Paypal on eBay, your payment is always instantly processed. But refunds through Paypal are always put on hold and take several days to process. The seller has zero control over either of those things. Have you ever used eBay/Paypal before? Because you don't seem to know what you are talking about in this video.

    • @blastermaster5009
      @blastermaster5009 6 років тому +5

      spencer s As someone who has been on eBay since 2002, and has over 1600 positive feedback, I can tell you right now that is not true. eBay and Paypal generally side with the buyer unless there is a mitigating circumstance, such as if the buyer has a suspicious buying history or if they are claiming they didn't receive their item even though the tracking on the shipment shows that they did. Besides that, eBay has a money back guarantee for most items and a very generous return policy (as in even if a seller doesn't offer returns, if you request a return they have to oblige). So if you were truly scammed, there is almost zero reason that you wouldn't get your money back.

  • @ajjr1228
    @ajjr1228 6 років тому +3

    eBay has a system in-place to automatically process your payment if you select it - otherwise you can "buy" an item and leave it sitting for a few days before the seller can decline the sale based off of the fact you haven't paid yet. This isn't a red flag.

    I usually put my computer stuff up for a huge markdown to encourage a bidding war.

    I put up a rare video game (several actually) on ebay at low prices and they went through the roof.
    Some Silent Hill CD's for example hit $90.00
    an Intellivision game hit $90.00 also after I set it at $15.00
    I've done this with older graphics and CPU cards (Amiga stuff) and watched people fight and claw over them.
    ALSO: Don't buy from users who have a low (or zero) feedback. Look for those that have been around for a while. They are less likely to scam you

Especially after a lot of people told me to "Just buy new"Well, without having a million dollars ( or even thousands......................come to think of it make that 100's of dollars lol ) I have found some decent prices where you told me to checkout. Although, I have found when you check you seem to find the best deals when you are not at your best. Anyhow, thanks for the spots to look at and may I add, doing something like this for the people that are naive like some younger people ignorant to the fact not all people are good that save and save and save just to get crushed by that piece of sh*% scum of the earth seller that should be shot then set on fire, (and many other bad things done to them I won't mention here.)

    Well I got a gtx 780ti for 17 dollars and no it's not a scam it only needed a bios flash and the seller was thinking that it's dead so bought,fixed it, and happily using it.

      If he had listed it as working/used/new then yes it still would have been a scam, even if you managed to solve the issue yourself instead getting money back.
      I imagine he sold it as not working, so it is fair enough if someone can fix it.

    Another used trick is that an actual package gets shipped. To your address, according to Ebay. In reality an empty package gets shipped to a random address in the same town. When you ship USPS you can actually put a different address on the package itself, while the receipt will show the right address. You will even get a notification that the package was delivered. (true, just not to you) So, when you complain that you have not received the package, Ebay will show the delivery notification and resolve the case in favor of the shipper.

    When I purchase anything off eBay and there isn't legit pictures of the card then I'd wouldn't even trust that also look at reviews of the seller and if that doesn't all check out, then I'm not buying through them

    • @GregSalazar
      @GregSalazar  6 років тому +4

      Yep, a good rule of thumb is to ask for pictures with a unique code scribbled on paper next to it. And to your other point, the seller had 100% positive feedback. Don't always trust this.

    • @mikef6430
      @mikef6430 6 років тому

      lol Yeah they can buy them or make them themselves. Honestly though if you read through them they are pretty generic and can tell if they're fake

      @Malice11029 6 років тому +1

      they don't even just fake reviews they fake bids too. its probably hard to prove, but i doubt eerybody is jumping on auctions w/ opening bids for $1200 1080 ti's

    I bought a brand new gtx260 about 3 or 4 years ago for £100, I think they where about £250 at the time. It was abit fishy so I emailed the seller and he said it would be his mother shipping it as he was on holiday in Brazil or something.
    I bought it and received it a few days later and it was perfect fully working brand new and still going strong after all these years!
