Ebay

[SunnyD]

Did you learn a lesson OP? Always insure your shit, even if it's $30! At least you'd have some recourse with USPS to get that money back.

You sure about that?

You sure about that?

Um.

The USPS admitted that the woman’s insurance claim should never have been denied, but offered no explanation as to why it denied the claim three separate times.

If you take it to the media eventually they'll approve the claim in BS cases like that.

I have a high rating on ebay and have never had a problem getting USPS to issue an insurance refund on fraudulent buyers, in fact they are more likely to issue you a refund than UPS or FedEx because they don't always require information from the scammer to confirm.

I believe that the issue is more that he's getting hosed on the money.

I've had the same thing happen to me. Sell motherboard. Sell CPU. Sell memory. Guy who buys motherboard says it doesn't work. Don't know if he toasted it. I don't have the CPU or memory that fits into it, so it's useless to me and I can't test it. I have to give a refund.

eBay sucks for the seller. Can't even warn others not to sell to bad people because there's no feedback from the seller other than positive.

If it were me, I'd state all sales were final and as is. Take several photos from every angle, state in a few places it is sold as is with all known issues described fully in the ad, and go from there. Who knows, it might not matter at all, but then again, it might make a difference.

This doesn't matter. I've sold many items NON WORKING SOLD AS IS FOR PARTS ONLY and the buyer gets a refund for getting an item not working.

Now I just usually throw stuff in the trash.

Yea earlier in the thread, I commented about that but people just get around that by saying "item was not sold as described."

People suck. ugh. Glad you got your money back OP

Thanks. But I'm wondering why the case is still open. Maybe after a certain amount of time it will close?

Just the comments in the videos are shocking.

I smell a business opportunity! A whole new auction site with a third party to verify that goods that are returned match what was bought. IDK It's a thought.
