    I love learning about scams. This is very good insight on how to prevent it too. Letting my LGS know ^-^

    People are so scummy. Sorry this happened to you bud. You definitely don’t deserve this. Hope you get all of this figured out. Wishing you luck on your new adventure.

      They really are. With the hobby so hot right now it’s only going to happen more and we all gotta watch each other’s backs! Appreciate you brother, thank you. 🙏🏻

    It's a real shame just one bad actor can cause such harm to a small business, they probably target new websites like yours that might not have their protocols sorted out. I will definitely be on high alert for this if I ever decide to start my own website. Thanks for sharing! I hope it works out for you.

      Thank you MV. I agree this is certainly their M.O. and they’ve done it before and will definitely do it again. Hopefully this video helps at least one person not get scammed.

    Hey! As a tip, if you purchased the label and its under your name and account you should immediately intercept the package and have it returned to you. Hope this helps in the future

    • @CastellCollectibles

      Yeah if ever find myself in this situation again that will be my first course of action. Unfortunately the packages weren’t “eligible” and by the time I connected with Customer Service it was too late.

    Seems like a genuine guy..... good things happen to bad people that's how the world is but do not lose hope...things will eventually get better. I'm from Canada and would love to partner with you and see if we capture both the markets for Japanese and English cards from DBZ to Pokémon to Yughio to One piece and maybe some DC cards.

    Sorry that happened to you and thank you for sharing the experience, I’m currently in the middle of building my own online store and this kind of information is invaluable albeit at your expense. I look forward to part 2 to understand how Wix dealt with it and fingers crossed it’s positive for you.

    That's rough bro. So crazy how they are allowed to just place chargebacks. All the best though man.

    Sorry to hear my guy, these people know what they're doing and the credit card companies let them get away with it. They usually require evidence the buyer has reached out to the seller but some companies just do a straight refund with no evidence significant enough to overturn the decision.

    • @CastellCollectibles
      @CastellCollectibles  11 днів тому

      Thank you and yeah they refunded him immediately so I’m not hopeful but regardless lesson learned, knowledge gained, experience shared.

    I’ve had this happen to my business as well, luckily I was able to sus it out pretty quickly but the individual kept buying the same item with different addresses and names. I sell 1000’s of skus so when the same one kept coming up it became obvious. It sucks losing all the cc fees for having to refund (my store is large ticket items so it adds up fast) but better than losing the products. One thing that helped tremendously is being able to line up the IP address location of the order with the delivery address. If it didn’t match or come close it was a huge red flag.

      @@danieltehee i’m sorry to hear, but glad you found a way to combat it! I’m not too experienced with IP’s but I am looking into it because I wanted to ban his address. I like your method of using it to screen legitimacy as well!

    It's a shame but you really need to Police feedback ratings. They used two stolen credit cards and the chargeback would hit soon as they get a tracking number and its live.
