Atari8bitCarts Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Not sure where bad eBayer's go. Bad ebayer, and I would assume trader, but I don't have there AA id. id: ef-037 I did what I shouldn't have done and was asked to end an auction, with no bids, early and just invoice them. I did so, on two auctions, explaining that I had a family emergency and would not be able to get to this until Sunday (11/1) or Monday. I get back and they sent me an eBay message stating they found a better deal and don't want them anymore. I know I shouldn't have done this but he was persistent and I thought really liked the games. And the last week has been draining as my mom went into Hospice and I thought I'd do them a favor. When I told him he should honor what we asked for, he said he didn't have to. So I've banned him from buying anything from me. My guess it could have been one of those dirt bags trolling eBay to get cheap carts to just resell them.

derFunkenstein Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Had a weird rash of people buying, paying for it, and then asking for a refund. Which sucks because PayPal doesn't refund fees. One of them was on an $800 purchase, so I had to eat like $30 to make the refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always received a refund of fees from Paypal when I have had to give refunds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed their policy a while back to keep the whole 30 cents plus 2.9% fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yeah, they no longer do that. https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/20/20876570/paypal-refund-fee-policy-change-sellers-controversy I called them and explained the situation. They could see from screenshots I provided that the buyer just changed their mind after paying. That had no effect. They still kept the fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCanadian Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Ebay is now hosted in 'asia' so they dont care about buyers and sellers. Probably all one guy in india somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 How much you want to bet that this is a scheme by Paypal to make money? Pay someone to make a bunch of fake orders, have them ask for a refund and then rake in the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
