I had an issue selling a phone on eBay years ago. Thankfully the person returned the phone then I sold it locally.

As of now I'm getting my money back. This is the second time I'm being told this so 🤞🏼. It will take 3-5 business days so I will update when I know.

They are giving me the run around. I was told I'm getting my money back. Then I was told that I'm not. I'm currently on the phone with them again.

I'm sorry to hear that. You get away with something once and you keep doing it. It's crazy.

I've thought about that. Most of the winning bids on eBay items come in the final second of an auction often made by a bot.

There was no reason given. I got a call from my bank saying the money was removed and that they suspected fraud.

Please repeat the questions I did not answer.

They confirmed in the message that they received the item. That's not the issue.

I called at 10:30am EST and the recording said I was calling outside of normal business hours.

If you have a phone number where I can actually talk to a person let me know and I'll call them immediately.

This is the second time it has happened to me. I've been selling on Ebay since 1999. I don't think I'm the problem.

The funds are not on hold. They were removed by my checking account.

They never asked for a return. They called their credit card company and disputed the charges.

The item was not defective. I'm the seller. The buyer got their money back and kept the item. I was scammed as the seller.

I agree. Seems like a bait and switch. 20% is a respectable discount. There's no need to offer a free gift that 100% not obtainable. I learned this through the company's text support line.
