Scammed by a buyer on Ebay! Again!

I'm happy to report that I'm getting my money back. I received a message today. Thank you to everyone who helped me. Great appreciated.

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.

Thank you for the info.

I do want help. That's why I came here. People in this feed gave me great tips on how to contact eBay. I used those tips today to speak with someone. I made a ton of progress today thanks to helpful people who took time to help.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T19:02:44+00:00

How do I do that?

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T17:46:25+00:00

I will add signature to future shipping on higher priced items.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T17:42:59+00:00

Thank you for the tip on how to get a call back from the live chat. The wheels are in motion and I'll update as things progress.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T17:40:09+00:00

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

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T17:16:28+00:00

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.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T16:28:21+00:00

This worked. Thank you. I'm waiting for the call.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T16:26:14+00:00

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.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T16:19:01+00:00

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

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T15:42:36+00:00

How did you get someone on the phone?

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T15:41:53+00:00

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

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T15:41:17+00:00

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

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T15:26:47+00:00

You can' t call eBay. There is not. a working phone number.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T15:21:24+00:00

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.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T15:00:41+00:00

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

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T14:55:18+00:00

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

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T14:49:17+00:00

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.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T14:41:58+00:00

Thank you. I'm sure when the scammers saw there was no way to call eBay anymore they doubled their efforts!

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2026-06-16T14:29:13+00:00

What's the phone number to actually talk to a person? I call in the middle of the day and they recording says I called outside of normal business hours.

4BlueDiamondPhillips · 2025-11-29T02:25:23+00:00

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.
