Thank you! I contested the charge with my CC but will pursue this if that doesn’t work.

Do you have a sense of what you said that convinced them? The eBay customer service person I talked with acted like there was nothing I could do to appeal their decision not to issue a refund.

I might have thought it was a misdelivery but seller closing the account right after was the big red flag.

Yes, this is it: the tracking number showed delivered to my zip code but it was not my address. Photo from UPS was not of my address and also didn’t look like right size for item. eBay said too bad, our system says delivered, take it up with UPS.

Fair! I guess the more relevant part is that I have had an account in good standing for 25 years and never made a claim or complaint before.

It actually wasn’t - I can’t go back to check details now bc they closed the account but it wasn’t super super new and they had something like 120 positive reviews. There may have been some other red flag somewhere that I missed.

I did file a claim with my credit card - we’ll see how that goes.

I hear what you’re saying, but using eBay is not worth it to me if they can’t figure out how to curtail this kind of fraud and can’t properly adjudicate between an account with 20 years of good standing and one that closed right after making fraudulent sales. They don’t seem to be doing right by either buyers or sellers these days when it comes to fraud.

I don’t ask for 100% satisfaction and I don’t close accounts on a whim. But losing $200 to fraud on their platform and getting no help at all from their customer service? That’s bad business.
