Val-E Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Are they using a limo with chauffeur for delivery? I thought EBAY USA charged comms on item value and shipping now. Edited December 14, 2016 by Val-E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirborneAFOL Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Are they using a limo with chauffeur for delivery? I thought EBAY USA charged comms on item value and shipping now.They do charge fees on item + shipping. And listings like this expose you to poor "shipping cost" feedback.There's really no basis for doing it, other than a moron seller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to their feedback, they don't like to check their email, so problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Someone just started a return for a Supergirl polybag I sold on Ebay: "Here's what the buyer said Reason Doesn't fit" They have me confused with a seller who sold them clothing? Or does this make sense and I don't get it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Have a pair of rubber gloves on standby for when the return comes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iahawks550 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I sold a Hatchimal to a buyer with over 33,000 feedback. He (she) sent me a message asking to please message with the tracking number. Seems like they would know how to look that up on Ebay. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's a dropshipper, but I'm unsure why they request the tracking number be sent to them, since they probably also receive the automatic email from eBay that says "Your Item Shipped".

trstnkn Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I even had a drop shipper ask me to hold off shipping so that they could send me pre-paid envelopes to put the items in. I was selling a lot of 4 of one small set. They seemed perplexed when I explained that this goes against eBay/Paypal policy/protection. This person also had 10,000+ feedback.

Phil B Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) I keep on attracting newb buyers who don't check their address and happily click away on the "complete purchase" button, only to realize their address is wrong right after. Last one was someone who realized after he paid that EBay used his UK address, not his current US address. You'd figure the $20 shipping charge would have been a clear indication (item had free US shipping) .... Worst thing is that Paypal takes $0.30 for every cancellation I need to do because of dufus buyers...... Of course unless this is a scam of some sort, but I fail to see how that would affect me if the transaction goes via the GSP ....

It's Ascot which is only 15 miles from me so I can buy, offer cash on collection and then REFUSE to accept the item when I get there. I have a "spare" eBay account for reasons like this. Meanwhile, I have reported the current "10221" on sale to eBay and LEGO.

The SSD growth has certainly been impeded by these knock offs, and many are buying them at £350. This set looked destined to reach 4 figures.
