I listed a sealed 30th Gold C3P0 and some person kept emailing and asking how he can find one in a sealed boxed set. Needless to say, he never placed a Buy It Now offer after I asked if he was interested. Then I finally received a decent offer that I accepted. The UK buyer never paid after asking me twice if shipping will require a signature.

I won an open UCS Vader Tie Defender and the seller doesn't want to claim my payment via PayPal. Although feedback was low, his email is legit. I just sent him one.

My son wanted a Batman 1 Batmobile so I won one, Auction stated complete except for the road block. 16 minor elements ended up missing from both vehicles and seller shipped the set in the original lego box (wasn't listed in the auction) w/ supermarket brown paper around it. Never the less, the box was a pleasant surprise.

Feel free to also post any eBay feedback horror stories.

Go to Orders -> Shipping Labels.  For the order that you canceled, choose Actions.  There should be a drop down with a choice to Cancel label. 

Then you wait 2-3 weeks for USPS to verify and refund postage.

I probably should charge money for my arcane eBay knowledge

Thanks.  eBay still won't allow me to cancel since it showed as shipped.  Looks like I'll have to contact them.

I ended up just initiating a refund and that basically worked the same as cancelling and everything seems to be sorted out.

So the guy that did this ended up doing it again to me on a different set.  I did not ship the second set before the cancellation request came in so I was able to cancel after the fruitcake finally made up his mind.  The first two images are from the first transaction the third image is from the second.  I knew the guy was a little antsy so I didn't cancel immediately, I should have let it go all night to see how many messages he would have sent.  I added him to my blocked list after I set the last message.

Second transaction, he submitted a cancellation request and then sent this message.

BLOCK

Is there a "black list" of eBay drop shippers; I have come accross some suspicious buyers lately. they wait about a week to pay and then the ship to name is way different than the eBay user name. One of these, I googled map the address and it was a very sketchy area for a $350 LEGO set; I canceled the order and blocked the buyer. And, did something changed in the settings, I never had to wait over a week for the buyer to pay ( I mainly sell during the X-mas time).

Under “Preferences”
 

“Require Immediate Payment” setting is default to off you have to turn it on. 

Out of curiosity if anyone has seen this..(most certainly no one here would do this for sure 😇)

I'm tracking a lego set on ebay to pick up extra copies. Selling range has been roughly between $35 to $50. Now I'm seeing a whole bunch of extra listings from 0 feedback accounts listing in the $500 to $900 range. What's the idea here?

Price anchoring -making listings for that item look expensive so theirs looks more attractive. It could also be money laundering if they actually sell.
