Possible fraud?? What should I do?

So I my ipod nano is one its way from freepay. So I put it on ebay with a buy-it-now price of $315 US and a starting bid of $0.01. And someone bought it now and was from Turkey so they paid $55 US shipping and I didnt even tell them what the shipping would be!! Better yet, they sent my an paypal instant payment!! It worked out to $405 CND. I couldnt beleive it. So searched on ebay for the new ipod video and got one for $360 CND (shipping included). Gotta love that!! Its express shipping to so I should get it the same time I get my nano which I still have to ship out!

Umm no,. What's going to be hilarious is when you get a chargeback or Item Not Received paypal dispute, and this guys takes all of your money.

I would highly recommend refunding the money, relisting the Ipod and not shipping outside of Canada and the US.

I bet you'll end up being the idiot in this case...

i dont quite understand this ?

He's got an unconfirmed address, that's enough for me.

my advice not to send the item just yet just wait a little longer but what i heared if you spend the money and somebody want to claim there money and you have 0 dollars in your paypal account - paypal cant get the money from your debit or credit card without your permision

i got friends in Statesboro thats were Georgia Southern University is

yeah, I guess I'll do that. I'll get ebay to look into his account. Cause I dont trust it.

unconfirmed address is enough. refund his money and report a possible stolen identity.

[quote352f16d993="tracemhunter"]unconfirmed address is enough. refund his money and report a possible stolen identity.[/quote352f16d993]

thats the problem. i cant refund his money. i already spent it.

get your parents to bail you and give you money to cover the cost of the ipod and then get that shit resolved with ebay relist and pay your parents back

Yeah, here's a hint

If it's from around Europe or Africa, it's probably fraud.

[quote59587a18ed="tylerc"]Yeah, here's a hint

thats what I thought. I thought it was going to be one of those Nigeria bastards.

Why don't you try contacting those other two sellers and see what they did? If all three of you complain to ebay/paypal, this part of your problem may be resolved more quickly.

i put hella restrictions on my auctions and i wont sell outside the US

not even Canada? I hate it when people dont tell to Canada lol.
I contacted ebay and I'll see what Im going to do. Its a loss for whose ever account that got stolen it is, but its not that big of a loss for me. But Im still going to resolve it.

Ebay is expensive to List with has terrible customer service who answer their customers calls with "how did you get this number" (not making this up) and is teeming with scammers yet I wouldnt sell my products online in any other place shrug dance2

haha. I like how the subject of this thread changed from what it was earlier.

[quote5dc77dda3c="cyberpunk243"]haha. I like how the subject of this thread changed from what it was earlier.[/quote5dc77dda3c]

lol. its cause i never thought of it being fraudulant. and now that i realized that it could very well be, I thought the title would attract more people. And I didnt want to look like the idiot haha.

From having a free ipod nano to your hands to owing $300+
because you spent a scammers money on an ipod. I would LOVE to see you try to explain this to your parents lol

yeah, that would be a bad idea. my parents HATE ebay.

listen to me just dont send the ipon just take your time you know what i mean

yup. thats excactly what im going to do.

talk about opposite emotions real quick lol, yeahhhhhhh to shit!

What did you spend oover $300 on so quickly? You shouldn't get a credit card...

if u read earlier. i said that i bought the ipod video.

a dude just sent me a message on ebay for my iBook

[quote117ff073f8]Dear Seller,

I am very intrested in your item. I need right away because it will be a
gift. Please email me the final price including shipping to Spain via
FedEx 2 Days Express. I will deal only with an escrow company.
The escrow company is a service that protects both buyer and seller against
fraud. I will pay the shipping and escrow fees. If we agree on the price,
we can start the escrow process today and you can have the money in maximum
7 days.

Thanks and please get back to me as soon as possible,
Antonio[/quote117ff073f8]
lol i replied back i will only deal with paypal and ship US and you must win the auction to many scammers out there

i may report this douchebag for trying to scam me

Yeah you should. The only way that anything will be done about them is if people continue to report them. They will come back but it's better than sitting there and doing nothing at all.

How much is your auction up to?

its at $152.50 and i listed it yesterday for 7days and i already reported his ass

[quote11a66eded1="Tholek"]He's got an unconfirmed address, that's enough for me.[/quote11a66eded1]

Addresses can only be confirmed in the US, UK and Canada I think.

Well, I rarely deal with any other country. (except for Germany)

Google is going to enter the online auction market soon.

Ebay is badly in need of some competition.

Yeah, ebay hasn't had any incentive to improve customer service in....God knows how long.

ubid was a joke, let's hope Google isn't.

base.google.com is already (beta) live. However, to date, the site hasn't morphed into the eBay killer everyone is claiming it will be.

You need to pay attention to people asking you to undervalue items. Not only is it illegal, but if you ship something legitimately to someone and the item is lost, you will only get back whatever paltry amount you insured it for, not its actual cost.

This guy in cananda begged me to put the laptop i shipped him down as 500 bux when he paid 1075. I did so, and he claimed he got an empty box. Long story short, he got 1000 bux back, and I have a paypal account with -1075, and no laptop.

Waiting on the post office to mail me 500 dollars..... like that's even going to help....

google base sucks.

first google product that has sucked
