Someone just tried to scam me on eBay.

So I just got a refund request from a buyer who says he never received the coin I sold. I check tracking. It says DELIEVERED JULY 12. I go on eBay and look at completed listings. What do ya know... he tried to sell it with his other account and failed. So he wants the coin for free now.

He bought it under the username liberty*wild*wild*west* here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1879-O-1-Mo...ype-coin-money-better-date-/232391681895?rd=1

Then he tried to sell it under the username wild!wild!west! here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1879-O-PCGS...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Enjoy.

I hope he gets in serious trouble... and I'm not just talking about eBay.

 

Mail fraud is a federal crime.

 

If we copy the bold from the first listing that should add him to our block list?

Also really doesn't seem to be the brightest using an MS 60 coin to do that.

It's also credit card fraud if he tries to do a charge back.

 

Yes, just copy the bold, then paste them both into your blocked list. But for fun, look at his items listed on the second name and click COMPLETED. He has been trying to sell $300 coins for $10,000.

 

Wow, just WOW.

 

Wow, he just messaged me saying that it was never signed for (even though it didn't have signature confirmation). He's sticking to his guns and claiming he has done no wrong! Unreal!

 

Just let him know you will make sure to include his messages in your report to the Postal Inspectors

I second the folks saying to report him to the postal inspector.

 

I just called eBay. They closed the case and sent the item numbers to their fraud/buyer risk department. The eBay rep said what he is doing is illegal and that his account will get flagged. Doubt this means shut down... you know eBay.

 

Here's his first message to me after I busted his lie: "Jump the gun, never receive see postmaster. For signature conformation none! Eat your words! Did you put insurance on this package Thank you!"


Here's his second, before eBay closed the case and after I pointed out his federal crime: "I had ended the listing as error on ebay! Never receive this coin for real. Not like that at all small time!"

 

The only thing worse than a criminal is a stupid one who thinks his intended victim is stupider.

 

"Stupider" = more stupid

 

Ukrainian mafia scam.

 

People like that are scum. If this doesn't get him kicked off ebay nothing will.

 

wow, amazing. Glad you saw that.

 

And one that can't communicate a simple thought.

(oops, slow typing. this was a response to Oldrdawg's comment)

 

Classic ebay. Someone did something to me like that once. Bought an item. Didn't pay, listed it themselves and just never paid for it. I believe they were only going to pay for it if they sold it themselves. I was pretty livid.

 

If you report him to the U.S. Postal Inspectors, you'll be doing yourself, every numismatist in the United States and every human being a favor.
