I always track my packages going out to make sure they get it and (45% of the time, leave fb) and I get a message saying that it’s not complete, missing a sword.
Now.... I know it wasn’t as I took a pic and did not remove the extra weapons. Only took out the box w SE in it, snapped some pics and sent them to friends. The buyer immediately asked me for a refund. That kind of bugged me. Made me think maybe he lost his, took the time to buy another, take the sword out, return it. Would someone go through that trouble? I KNOW I didn’t remove it. Both messages ended with him saying I’d rather just refund it. If he’s a completist, I get it. But I told him I contacted Hasbro to see if I could get a replacement part, but he didn’t care. I know there can be a lot of shady collectors out there, but I’d like to think I didn’t get scammed. Anyway, has this ever happened to anyone? It seems like this is the “buy from a store, take out what you need/swap a figure, and return for full refund” scam but more involved. This is mostly rhetorical. I think I just have to get it out there, but man this bugs me.

If you know the sword was there, you probably got scammed.

I once sold a marvel universe x-force 3 pack and separate custom x-force psylocke and x23. Buyer wanted a partial refund to return the 3 pack after "losing" the two customs he/she wanted. Ebay sided with buyer in the case and made me issue partial refund.

Problem is Ebay seems to favor the buyer heavily. I just sold a Star Wars figure with box. The buyer immediately asked for refund cause there was a tear in the box. Even though it can be clearly seen in the picture, because I forgot to mention it in the description, I have to accept the return.

The only sellers eBay cares about are the super high-volume ones. Little guys are just there to get squeezed. Unless you've got absolutely iron-clad evidence they will ALWAYS favor the buyer, and oftentimes even if they don't make YOU refund a dissatisfied buyer they'll refund the buyer out of their own pocket just to keep them buying.
And yeah, there are a lot of shitty scammers on EBay. In my experience, many of them are from Russia and Eastern European countries. |

I’ve had to deal with it once. Now I always post pics in the listing clearly showing everything included so they can’t pull that shit.

I've been told to ALWAYS get the insurance. It's only an extra buck or so and you're covered if anything happens.
I've only had someone try to get over on me trying to get a refund once or twice, and they were supposed to ship the item back before the refund was issued and they messed that up, so I didn't have to issue the refund. HM
