I’m actually going through something kinda similar. An item sold and was paid for. I shipped it. Then the buyer freaked out and claimed that their account was hacked, and they didn’t actually buy the item. Ebay sent my payout, but then later claimed they were putting a hold on it, which made no sense since it was already paid to my account.

The buyer submitted a claim through eBay, and I responded with the tracking, which showed that it was delivered, also to a PO Box.

eBay is still investigating, so not sure how this will shake out. But I better either get to keep the cash or get my item back.

In my past experiences, it is really case by case basically. It depends on the mood of that eBay CS who look into your case at that particular time. I won fights before and also loss fights in some non-sense as well, that's why I stop selling on eBay.

I don't know if this is what happened but it could have been put in the wrong PO box and the person that got it kept it instead of turning it in.

Fortunately most of the people at our post office are really good but a couple of years ago I had a card that showed it was delivered to our PO box but it wasn't there so I went in and told them I was supposed to have a package and when they checked it had been put in the box below ours by a substitute worker.

I also noticed lately that some tracking says that it was picked up as soon as it's put in the box.


Here's an example of that on a recent card I purchased I didn't pick it up until the afternoon but the tracking says "individual picked up at PO" at 9:02am but that's when they scanned it and put it in the PO box.

usually on ebay if it shows delivered seller wins

if buyer whines to ebay, and ebay thinks they are a good buyer, they refund from ebay, not the seller

if the buyer files a chargeback, make sure you answer it and supply the tracking number even though ebay already has it.

went to block, already on my bbl.

I went and looked at his feedback. This isn't the first time that the PO has 'misplaced' his package. Either he is extremely unlucky, or this is a scam that has been successful for him so much that he continues to use it.

It got delivered to PO Box on a Saturday so it's possible a sub clerk put it in the wrong box (really easy to do) and he really didn't get it but you did your part and it shows delivered so you should be ok. But it's ebay so good luck, stress the "delivered" part.

Jim....he claimed it was to a different Post Office but in the same city. Doesn't the zip code kinda negate that?? You aren't gonna have two post office's sharing the exact same zip code right?

I haven't sold anything on ebay in about ten years. I was planning to list an item in the 5k-7k range, but am very paranoid about a situation like this happening. I really don't want to lose the auction money + the investment I already have into the item.

The item won't be able to go to the ebay authentication services. So, just straight to the buyer.

How do you all ship your high value items?

What should I do to make sure I'm protected from scammy buyers in the current ebay landscape?


I've been told by a few people to do registered mail at USPS.
