- Thread starter The axe murderer
- Start date
damn smmfh
on a good note today represents the day after the 30-day return mark for the last item I sold on ebay so I think I’m in the clear now
Very little you can do, but depending on what you are selling you get way more returns from people buying items without looking at the description at all then scams. For example i would sell a laptop listed very clearly for parts and not working, meaning if you buy this do not expect this to work at all. It is meant to be stripped for parts or to try and make it work. I would have someone buy the laptop and complain that it does not start it is not working, even though i already listed that as an issue and you bought it for $50 when a working one would be ten times that at least. Even with that being said, eBay would still side with the buyer and even worse depending on the item it is cheaper to let them keep the item than it is to pay to get it shipped back.

Haha. What's up my guy? Man this is why I'm only flipping my consoles locally. I don't want to deal with any of this. Scamming is at an all time high,
Got any PS5s on hand? Real talk and no scamming on my end.

Got one left from a 1.5 hour wait/walk-in today at Walmart but I'm already marketing it locally brother. I'm trying to stay away from shipping too and even opening the door to possibly be scammed by buyers - or theft by mail carriers.
Totally understandable breh
So Walmart is starting to sell them now via walk-ins? I know Target said they didn't know for sure when it would be available in store.

Thanks for being respectful and understanding brother. #respect
And yes. It’s a crapshoot though man. I missed four times at different Walmarts over the last week. Seems like the key is to try to catch the truck when it’s being unloaded which seems to be around 2-3pm locally. The only other thing I’ve heard that people are finding success with is catching them first thing in morning when they open.

If you have at least 30 sales in a month, they lift the hold and you get the funds immediately
so people will hack seller accounts or sell legit items until they hold is lifted, then go into scam mode lmao
I only noticed that with low-priced items (under $100)...they still put a hold on the expensive shyt I was selling when I got past 30...I sold a total of 40 items last month
the ebay put the hold on or was it paypal
because paypal will put a hold on if you have an account with little transactions, or anything they deem suspcious
people will buy or hack paypal accounts that are trusted on the black market and use those for scams
ultimately paypal...but again once I sold a certain amount they freed up funds immediately for lower-priced items but the expensive shyt I had to wait until a few hours after I received delivery notification from USPS

What you see, is what you get
You gotta be a fool to buy a PS5 off ebay craigslist or hell even amazon right now. I’d rather stick it out getting it at a legit retailer than pay triple the price and have shyt like this happen. I heared the other day a nikka bought a PS5 off ebay and found deordarant in the box. I'd be pissed as hell if that happened to me
Yup. I learned my lesson some yrs back after I bought a 360 slim console. I played a game on it a few times and it stopped reading discs. Fortunately, I was able to get my money back and cop a console from Best Buy during the holiday season. After that experience, my spend limit on ebay is within $60-80.
Idk why folks act like they can't wait for a PS5 or buy from a legit retailer. I'm waiting at least a year or two at most before I buy a PS5.
