EBay scrap its selling fees - on everything except for cars and motorbikes

Also we never seemed to have been ripped off as a seller on Vinted unlike eBay.

My Wife had a item stolen on eBay, I won't call it being scammed it was theft plain and simple due to eBay's policies that give zero protection to sellers.

Wife sold a limited edition toy, valued at £150. Buyer claimed item delivered was the non limited edition version valued at £10. Buyer issued at claim back from credit card company which they accepted without question.

When we realised what was happening I sent the buyer the following message.

"For your information, this toy belongs to my 11 year old, seriously ill Daughter, currently hospitalised, who wants to get some money to buy her Mum something special as a thank you for looking after her, and if you continue down this path you are not stealing from us but stealing from her"

The seller replied with a one word reply and carried on regardless.

"So"


Which is fine.

But the thing about your average underclass, non working, housing benefit claiming, pink tracksuit nee potato sack wearing, entitled, face like a slapped **** scum is they have nothing else to do with their petty lives but to post their dirty laundry on Facebook.

So to the commited individual with a desire to return balance to the world it doesn't take a lot of work to get every detail of such a person's life to exact this balance. We knew what her house looked like, knew what family she had, what her benefit paid car was, everything.

This person was under the misapprehension that they could steal from a person 150 miles away without consequence.

They were wrong.

But as to whether they have the brain capacity to comprehend the return of the word "So" is another matter.

I had a not too dissimilar thing happen a few years back. EBay refunded my loss within the week.

Charge backs from Credit cards are no longer refunded by eBay, hence why it's now a massive problem

Nothing to tell apart from "definitely not intimidating at all" one word notes magically appeared sellotaped to her front door. The choice of one word told exactly who they were from and what was going to happen. Maybe she couldn't give a £hit or maybe she did, I will never know. But all I know if someone that I stole from went to the effort to get a note stuck on my door from 150 miles away I think I'd be a bit .......
