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.

thank you for the clarification. all the sudden, I feel so good....

You should, most PowerSellers would kill to be in that program

Quick question for advice.  I got this from Ebay for the first time...

I already shipped it to paypal confirmed address.  Shipped it 20 hours after sale.  Do I just do nothing since it's shipped?

if the purchase was not authorized by the account holder, he/she will cancel that transaction and the money you received will be reversed. If it's not too late for you, you can intercept the package and have it routed back to you assuming the paypal confirmed address was hacker's address. If it's too late to call back the package, try working with ebay & paypal to get it sorted out.

Wouldn't paypal seller protection kick in?  Package was already dropped off to USPS.

That loser hit me up a few weeks ago for two different City sets totaling almost $300. Luckily he bought on a Friday so both purchases were flagged and caught before I shipped anything. I did have to spend approximately three hours on the phone with eBay and PayPal to sort it out though. 

I've had a few other chargebacks in the past where I've already shipped the package to the confirmed PayPal address. In every instance seller protection kicked in and I was reimbursed once the investigation was completed. Funds were put on hold while they were investigating. 

These situations are a pain in the arse, but unfortunately they come with the reselling gig.

When it is obviously a hacked account, send just a empty package and get the money back from PayPal

eBay needs to set up 2FA for buying using eg. Google Authenticator. Then the account holder has to cough up. It serves them right for being careless with their credentials!

They have 2FA. The option is hidden in the account options screen.

To be fair, eBay asked people to activate 2FA when they first implemented it (long before Amzn), but of course most people either ignore or chose not to activate it

eBay should enforce 2FA and not allow buyer protection without it. Buyers should be held accountable for their carelessness, lack of security and buyer’s remorse.

Nothing to sweat over but the funds maybe take 30-60 days to be released to you.

Scammer (or kid bought of parents account etc), You've shipped it to the confirmed address.  You are covered by ebay Seller Protection & Paypal Seller Protection. 

Its just a process that needs to be followed now.  The ebay / paypal case will be opened or even both one after the other.  You provide the tracking details they ask for and forgot it about.  You'll get the email in a month or two that their investigation has concluded and your funds will be released to you.

Has anyone bought from "coasttcoastwarehouseservies"?

You think this is a scam?
I hope I get a good one.

I would have asked him how new the damage is and if you would have checked the item a week ago would it be undamaged?

IDK, A good looking one?

Got this message from a noob eBay buyer. I was kind and let him down gently.

"Hello, I made a few offers on this item but they were auto-declined. Could you tell me why this happened? Would you be willing to negotiate on this item?"
