All those smart scammers! If only they used their intelligence for good instead of evil! I guess they found a way out of the corporate rat race, and exercising their twisted psyches at the same time.

Slezbay sucks with how they treat sellers having to refund scam buyersThanks for sharing.
I once sold an on Nikkor 105 micro manual focus lens on ebay. I clearly put in the listing that it was a manual focus only lens and an F mount. A person buys it, says it doesn't focus and reports the transaction. They kept the lens, got the money back, and I was out a lens. They never set it back. The complete one sidedness of disputes on ebay turned me off to the platform. It wasn't an expensive lens, it was the principle of them taking the side of a scammer buyer.
This or wait 10-15 days for “check” to clear “”financials””. LoL … I would mess with them for a while. USPS money order is the best!That’s why Paypal or USPS money order only. And always pay with Paypal “good” NOT friend and family
Not if there counterfeit USPS money ordersThis or wait 10-15 days for “check” to clear “”financials””. LoL … I would mess with them for a while. USPS money order is the best!
Thats the biggest scam in the world. Sending an oversized check.I was trying to sell a Kalibrgun, and got a buyer from airgun classified... so I thought. Agreement was I would ship when the check clears. They refereed to the payment coming from their "financial" and I started getting hairs on my neck raised. The buyer wants it shipped to an address in Arizona, but the check is coming from Chicago.
From this address....
Today the check was arriving FEDEX and I get this
I'm done on that classified. Be careful out there. If I decide to sell it in the future, it will only be here.
3 letter agencies are useless in crimes like this. The Alphabet org even has crime hotline, unless somebody was mudered don't expect much help.Mail fraud and wire fraud all in one. Both are federal crimes. If they actually sent a check I would report it to the 3 letter organization. The only way to try and stop these people is to report the crimes. No report, no prosecution attempts, and then they will continue scamming. These scumbags represent the worst of humanity.
Yeh PP tried to do the same to me. I sold a MotorCycle part on Ebay in perfect condition, the buyer said the part was all scratched and banged up. PP said I would be responsible and they would refund the buyer when he sent me the damaged part back. The scam was the buyer already had the damage part thats why he ordered mine in excellent condition and was going to send me his damaged part back and PP would give his funds back. Luckily for some reason the guy never sent me anything back so I kept the funds. The bottom line is PP always takes the buyer/scammers side...never the seller. Eff PP. Never used them again and never will.A couple years ago I sold a Nikon F2 on the bay to a guy in another country. He paid through PayPal and decided the camera wasn’t as advertised. He allegedly shipped it back but I had already pulled funds out of PP. I ended up with a negative balance and have yet to receive the camera. I won’t ever use them to pay for anything ever again under any circumstances.

Yep, Ebay owns PayPal. PayPal almost always sides with the buyer and refunds the money without waiting until product is returned.Thanks for sharing.
