Something strange happened to me while selling my laptop on eBay | |
| No Way User ID: 76803888  United States01/15/2020 04:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I here I am selling a 2 1/2-year-old gaming laptop on eBay, my staring bid was 650. Twenty minutes into it, I get an offer of 660. I responded back with an I'll get back with you. Ten minutes later I get an offer of 1300.00 I excepted it with reservations. Turns out the buyer is William Barr. I know it's just a glitch in the system, but I thought it was funny. Something is fishy with double the offer, I do know. pics: [link to ibb.co (secure)] [link to ibb.co (secure)] 1300.00  |

User ID: 70736097 United States01/15/2020 05:56 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation |  The whole thing is strange. I'm very sure I won't be getting paid on this one. Someone fucking with me.If it were me? I'd be taking careful note of the serial numbers on my computer. Expect to have components swapped out and the item returned as not being functional, etc. And don't accept a "cashier's check". And if you get a paypal "e check"? Wait at least a week for it to clear, very likely to bounce. "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it."

User ID: 70736097 United States01/15/2020 06:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had this listed on CL at 700 and no takers. For a month! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76803888 I'm sure I'll be reposting this ad again. Not if you mail the computer, you'll end up with nothing saleable. Guaranteed.

| I sell on eBay User ID: 78103241 United States01/15/2020 06:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They are bots. eBay can’t stop them :( Go back to your auction and turn off “Allow Offers”. And this will stop. Otherwise, get ready for much more. If someone really wants to send you an offer they will, but most people will wait and bid for the lowest possible price. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78170378 United States01/15/2020 06:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is a Arab guy that sues people after he buys something from them and wins the cases. Good luck but selling stuff on Ebay is a gamble now. Check out the buyers feedback and if it looks bad then cancel the deal even if they already paid through PayPal, refund the money. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76803888 So I have to worry about this fucker returning it back to me, and there is nothing I can do about it. Even though there is nothing wrong with the laptop. Not if sold as is without a guarantee. Aren’t you able to specify that, or does eBay make all sellers include a refund policy? |
And the guy who offered me 660 is now saying he'll pay me what I want. WTF is this shit, a scam?
