ebay seller is scamming me

[Canada EH]

I ordered a black digitizer and realized my 4S is white. The seller is from a different Alberta city.

I had just bought a iphone 5 and its black, it was in front of my when I made the 4S digitizer purchase.

I realized this moments after I purchased it.

I sent the seller an email right away to cancel order.

I look on my ebay summary now and its been sent.

What a scam that is!

 

My case for the 4S is white, so its not a matter of changing the back plate.

Maybe I can paint the case black in some paint wont come off and stain anything.

 

I got to be more careful buying shit on ebay.

The other seller I bought from is a local guy, and I thought I could do a free pickup which I did last week. But I did not see no option for that tonight.

So the seller is scamming you by shipping you exactly what you bought and paid for?

Yes, because I cancelled it a minute after I bought it. Sent him an email. I guess he dont read no emails.

The guys a slickster.

You have to be careful with these things. Don't be like my wife.

That's actually very possible. High-volume sellers typically only check their emails once or twice a day. It's not a scam. If anything, it's excellent service.

[Canada EH]

Yes perhaps. That's reassuring I guess.

 

It should be a small item, its just a iphone 4S digitizer, so postage shouldnt be too much.

It was free shipping from him.

So when I email him, get the return policy, then do tracked shipping back to him which costs more $.

 

This will be a first for me.

I have done small fuck ups like this before, but the seller was always on the ball.

so you ordered something, the seller shipped that exact thing to you, you made a mistake and ordered the wrong item so now he's the scammer? looks more like you're the one at fault here for negligence.

well... two things:

- if they sell in large quantities (which.. iphone replacement parts ) they dont go in and check their emails for every sale

- they dont *have* to cancel if you've already pressed buy, it's your own damn fault for ordering the wrong thing in the first place.

[Canada EH]

Then why does ebay even have a cancel order button?

 

 

I cancelled the order a minute after I purchased it.

It was Friday evening so there is that. Not sure if postal outlets pick up on weekends, I doubt it. Def not Sunday.

so 2.5 days.

 

 

This is his return policy. So its an easy $5 for him, but that word "may". Atleast I got proof of the email

For an item that he bought in China for dollars, resells for $25. I just wanted it right away and was willing to pay a premium.

I will see how it goes, maybe give him zero stars for his $25 sale

You're going to blast him because he sent you exactly what you ordered in a timely fashion and held to his return policy when you screwed up? Dude, go away. Buyers like you are why eBay's gone to hell.

The thing is, he only currently has 400 items all cell phone widgets.

So its a hobby business for the seller. In a very small town (pop. 5000) literally in the middle of no-where.

Judging by the feedback, the seller is very quick to criticize and makes assumptions as to what the seller did. Very odd.

I already got a feeling of this seller based on a handful of feedbacks.

Seems very suspicious to me.

Lots of contact us about it statements.

I dont feel good about this guy at all.

You haven't even talked to him yet! 

 

Moral of the story, double check before you click buy. Make sure you agree with the return policy. If you don't, but you buy anyway and something goes wrong, it's your own damn problem. Don't leave negative feedback because you screwed up and don't think the seller's return policy (which you agreed to) should apply to you. 

[Canada EH]

I will leave neutral or negative feedback, depending on how much it costs to return the item with tracking.

negative feedback for a mistake YOU made? because YOU didn't check the item and return policy properly? get lost, ebay doesn't need people like you around.

So basically you are the scammer of this story.

1. Order the wrong item. 

2. Expect the seller to spend time and money shipping you a replacement to fix your dumbass mistake. 

3. Instruct the seller the ignore the return policy that you agreed to or face negative feedback. 

4. Contribute to the continued flight of good, honest sellers from eBay, leaving shady volume dealers from China to fill the void. 

 

Seriously, I hope the seller keeps your emails and files a claim against you. They can do that and, at a minimum, your feedback will be removed. At most, your account will be suspended for running a scam. Because that's what you're doing. Running a scam. 

 

I wish we had neg rep. I'd go through this thread nailing every single post of yours with it. On the downside, assclown buyers like yourself are chasing good sellers away to smaller sites where seller protections are on par with buyers'. On the upside, once they hit those sites, they offer better prices and service because they know con artists like you won't get away with their assholery. I know where those sites are, so thanks for bringing down the price I'll pay for iPhone digitizers by 10%

Hey look man I do understand your problem but eBay seller who have a huge volume of items to send every day they don't check the emails every minute but a few times a day. I am one of them and I can speak of experience.

[Bouzoo]

I don't see what's the problem. I paid for my mistakes few times, 2 in total, I paid for shipping to return the items, got refund every time. If it's my mistake and I ordered the wrong item, and the seller will refund me for an item that has passed literally the whole world, I can pay for my mistake. Won't happen again. 

The moment you pressed buy item, you agreed to his return policy, EULA of sorts, and in every single law/fils claim of whatever there is, you are wrong. You agreed to the terms of service.

I figured out that if he sends me the black digitizer that I will just buy a black sticker for the white case, perhaps make it look like carbon fiber rather then risk paint marking something. I actually prefer a black phone.

 

I took a look at my messages and the seller did not respond. Took him 2 days from my order to send it.

I thought maybe he would have perhaps changed the order to a white digitizer instead of black and messaged me.

And an added note, I dont see how he could have sent ANYTHING out on Thanksgiving Sunday.

Ebay has its quirks!!!! No doubt about that.

 

Either way the color "problem" is no big deal I guess.

 

This seller is not a good business man.

The shipped date includes telling USPS or FedEx to make a ticket.

The seller is a fine business man. You ordered the wrong item, he does not have to cancel it, and he allowed you to return it.

Dont leave negative feedback. As an ebay seller, just dont do it. The guy did everything right.

Not a scam, you aren't entitled to being able to cancel... Sounds more like good service. You need to learn how to read.

It is clear to everyone that you don't understand the definition of "scam".  You just need to own up to your own mistakes.  Act like an adult.
