I am looking to see if anyone has any bright side to the below situation. This is something, that I was really stupid about, but obviously lessened has been learned. I figured I would share with the rest of you. This is killing me. I obviously will get through this but wanted to partially and vent and maybe hoping that someone here has a ray of light for me on potential options:
I recently messaged someone (who had reputable feedback, more on this later) on eBay about a card he was offering. I wanted to see if he would lower his price on something. He said he would only do this off eBay - countless sports dealers do this, I didn’t think the ask was abnormal. I sent payment to him through PayPal friends and family (dumb, I know). He didn’t really answer me after that, but after several follow ups he sent item with tracking. I was already on high alert from his spotty responses so I decided To record myself opening the package. As I opened it I saw a reprint of the card I purchased, not the one we agreed upon. I mentioned it to the seller and he said it must be a mistake maybe I switched cards. I said no, and he said if I send back card he will give me a refund. My question is - I obviously can’t trust the guy. Should I just bring the evidence of texts and the video to my bank (since I assume PayPal won’t be helpful)? Or should I send the reprint to the guy and hope he refunds? I noticed his feedback had a recent negative from the same exact situation (after I purchased) so obviously this is a rolling scam. A valuable lesson on trusting non-net54 accounts! Pete
