Ebay buyer scam, £600, new iPhone,
Comments

Seller could have had eBay settings to immediate payment, thus buyer bought phone and paid with PayPal, therefore delivering phone in person would not be ideal!
Most sellers start off with auction type of sales before learning the ins and outs of selling on EBay. A seller with a very low number of feedback as a buyer and without a single feedback as a seller sells a 'brand new iPhone 6s 64gb'. Would I buy it? Probably not! Maybe buyer was anticipating being scammed but thought 'what if?' After all EBay money back guarantee gives you a fair reassurance0 -
Let's just leave I think what if this and that. I am a genuine seller, even it was only my second sale. Tomorrow I'll get the IMEI blocked.
Court claim has already passed, I think I have also gave her enough time to choose the good way. I will also not touch with fingers what she sends, but will scale it at the post office as well as record a video of the package and how I open it wearing gloves.0 -
And yes, I ticked immediate payment as well as no returns. The payment have been held by paypal and I couldn't get access to it. If I could, I would transfer it to my account and just dont give a sh*t about what the buyer says.0

Sorry, but what is the point of opening a packet with gloves when you know it's going to contain an old phone?Let's just leave I think what if this and that. I am a genuine seller, even it was only my second sale. Tomorrow I'll get the IMEI blocked.

Not messing up the fingerprints? If she says that is the phone I posted, it must have my fingerprint. But it Will not have it.0

Hello guys, as I said, I have uploaded my video. I directly not uploaded it to YT because the scammer would spot it. Please see it in my Box cloud.
I cannot send links as i'm new, please remove the space before the "com"

Now I have gathered all the messages as well from Ebay. Their message threading way is horrible...
I have pasted everything as it is on ebay's website. This will be long.0
