Scammer alert - benzone34

I’d advise adding to your blacklist.

Sold £350 worth of kingdom hearts tcg cards to this eBay user around 5-6 months ago and now they’ve opened 2 PayPal cases against me today for “item not as described” even though they left me positive feedback on eBay. They also bought a £6 card from me 6 days ago so pretty stupid of them to do that and then open a case for items they paid for 6 months ago.

Thanks for sharing the info for us to block him.

I actually bought a couple of cards from your eBay store myself recently. OP is a great seller :blush:

If a certain amount of time has passed and they’ve left you positive feedback surely Paypal/eBay wouldn’t side with him in this case?

The buyer typically has 180 days to open a case with PayPal.

Feedback doesn’t matter positive or negative doesn’t affect the outcome of a not as described case :slightly_frowning_face:

That’s part of the scam.

Assuming this is them, buy the watch then 180 days later file a case on them.

I appreciate the business and kind words! :blush:

They said they’ll give him 3 days to provide further information as his reason was too “generic”. Let’s just hope PayPal do the right thing :blush:

Well hopefully PayPal will get this right as he purchased something from me 6 days ago so it doesn’t add up. If not I’ll take him to small claims court :blush:

That would recover 10% of the money so probably not worth it haha.

That may be a realistic option. Although there is a difference between filing a claim with PayPal directly and filing one with his credit card which leads to a PayPal investigation. If its up to PayPal you may have a chance if he did it with his credit card you’re likely toast. I know with my specific level of AMEX I can file a dispute up to 10 years after the charge is made.

Well the kind woman that I spoke to from PayPal said she believes me and has put a note on the system for the next person who looks at the case to be “careful” of the buyer.

As I said if all else fails I’ll take him to small claims court :blush:

That seems insane to me.

Ebay and paypal are just not good enough. They are the best option out there, and yet they don’t care about sellers, and it is really a shame. It is very much like the wild west. When you protect yourself well, you do fairly well and/or people leave you alone. But if you don’t, you’ll get dueled and put your life at risk, figuratively speaking.

I’m not sure if you’re joking or not, but since you are in a position where people in the community look up to you, please don’t give this kind of frauduleus and illegal advice… :confused: If you scam a scammer, steal from a thief, or kill a killer, you would be no different than them. No need to lower yourself to their level…

The same first and last name and he lives in Aberdeen, Scotland. Pretty sure this is about the same guy but just to show you the type of scum I’m having to deal with :expressionless:
