Buyer trying to scam me

I have never ever scammed anybody, but don't let the facts of the matter ruin your rant.

You may want to call it something else, but semantics does not change the fact that sending an empty envelope is a scam, as you are not sure that the buyer has not received the item.

You are assuming I have done it? Why, exactly? Like I said just because I know the cons of ebay does not make me gulity!

To be crystal clear here, I have never ever scammed anybody, I have never ever had any unhappy buyers, I have never ever had anybody claim non- receipt, and I have never sent anybody an empty envelope. I do however know it happens, and am clued up on the scams.

Now, please, stop accusing me of something I haven't done.

I don't expect you sell much on ebay then.

Correct, I don't sell much, only around 300 feedback in say 8 years. Just some personal stuff every now and again, and I tend to use Amazon / Play / Hotukdeals if I can.

Is there anything I can do? Would Ebay do anything? This guy should be banned from Ebay, but he seems to have got away with this scam a number of times.

Back to answering your question, no, there isn't unfortunately. Paypal will side with the buyer, and Ebay won't want to listen. In the future be as diligent as you can with the users feedback, and sending recorded if possible - but ultimately though you can never protect youself 100% when selling on Ebay
