Anyone with experience involving CHARGEBACKS/Ebay Seller Protection? surfe-3 scammer

[Prof]

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.

With a card worth that much, it will HAVE to go to Ebay authentication service. There are no if's, and's or but's about it.

It's a set in glued into an album, not a single. As far as I know, they won't authenticate that.

If it’s below signature requirements and was delivered to his confirmed address you are good. that’s all you can do. His beef is with the post office.

edit: not sure why AG is not applied to P.O. Boxes. you have to register your name with the box.

Did you see the YouTube video I posted?? The guy is a scam artist. He buy's SGC A cards...breaks them out to sell them raw......and gets his money back from the sellers.

Yeah that sucks, big reasons why they have AG now. If you call and talk to a high value claim rep I’m sure they will help you out. Good luck!

The bubble mailer the seller was opening in the video appeared to have been taped on one edge that had clearly been opened. Maybe the buyer reused a mailer? Anyway, as to your question, as long as you printed the label on eBay, sent it to the address that was on that label and it was delivered, you will be in the clear for a chargeback. Your funds will be held until eBay verifies that and then released.

The weight was a dead giveaway. The seller shipped out a 5 ounce package and got back a 1 ounce package. That guy is a scam artist. He has been blocked.

Depending on the sale price any sale over 600/insured a signature is required-I send registered for peace of mind depending on the value. In your case the item was delivered, so have them file the insurance claim if applicable--I have only had to use my private insurance carrier one time so far because the Postal Insurance wouldn't pay my claim--
