eBay message regarding paypal - scam?

[swarmee]

I would agree. It's probably a new guy with restrictions until he completes enough positive transactions.

Thanks guys. I haven’t had a chance to fully go through my packages (son is still awake) and he’s sent me a third message on this. That’s a bit much.

Well, in his defense, it does kind of stink that his item is "gone" and he hasn't received his money yet. I understand him being a new seller, and that is the way it works....just put yourself in his shoes.

Stuff like this is part of why I stopped selling on Ebay a few years ago. When I started, most people were reasonable. As they grew, the usual person got way too needy.

The item got delivered, Three messages asking the same thing in under what? 12 hours? That's just obsessive. Not everyone can or will reply instantly.

I finally got to take the cards out of the soft sleeves this morning to really look at them before my wife and son woke up (5:45 AM). They were 9 cards from 2018 - the way they were put into a team bag - 4 of them have a questionable corner (obviously the way they were packed). Anyways that's just an observation but the point is I wanted to really look at the cards before I considered his request. The cards aren't bad enough to return or anything like that. With that being said he sent a 4th message overnight and a 5th message this morning. At this point I'm annoyed.

Just leave him feedback so he can get his money. I have had this happen before and it sucks waiting for your cash if you really need it. I know most on here look at $30 as nothing but to some $30 makes a big difference.

5 messages in less than 24 hours? Poorly packaged? Damaged cards? I would make a note of their user ID and consider not doing business with them again.

FWIW

All he did ask you to verify was that you received the package, which you had when he made the request. It wouldn't have voided your buyer protection or anything by opening the package later so you could have technically honored his request much sooner than waiting for you to have an opportunity to open.

With that being said, 5 Messages is certainly annoying.
