How do you handle Ebay buyers trying to cheat you?

I don't mean no harm, but if a buyer on Ebay is attempting to get a card that they bought from me for free by claiming it wasn't delivered, they WILL GET BLOCKED!! How do other sellers handle Ebay cheats?

Was there tracking?

If there is no tracking, there isn't much you can do you prove your case.

Have they filed a claim?

or are they just telling you they just haven't received it yet?

The postal clerk accidentally scanned the package as "DELIVERED" when I handed it to him at the counter. Therefore, the buyer was understandably freaked out. But as the package made it's rounds across the country, it was getting subsequent scans showing the various "hits" it made as it was working it's way to them. All the while, showing DELIVERED. It then received a final "delivered" scan once the package was officially delivered. However, the buyer thought he was going to take advantage of a loophole and the error on the original clerks part to get a $300 card for free! NOT HAPPENING BUDDY!!!!!

That is why I hate eBay. As far as the USPS they are not my favorite people sometimes also. I shipped a package to a fellow member last tuesday. It has not been updated since last thursday and was supposed to be delivered last friday.

Sorry for the USPS rant in you thread and hope it works out for you and eBay does not side with the scammer.

Just because the tracking says it was delivered doesn't mean they delivered to the right address. I had a package scanned as delivered on Dec 27. I happened to pass the mail carrier on my way home at about 11:14am the delivered scan says delivered 14:26pm. Two weeks later I am still waiting for the card. The last time USPS delivered a package of mine to the wrong address it took awhile for it to show up. It sucks but it happens.
