I’ve only sold three things and two of them the first buyer tried an obvious scam (asking for email to send fake PayPal payment notification, telling me they “couldn’t get their card to work on the eBay site”). The first time eBay flagged it automatically and reversed the sale, the second I cancelled as buyer request since they told me they couldn’t pay. The annoying thing is I had to manually restart the listing and ask eBay to override the selling cap so I could do so. It’s really annoying because they tie up the listing while waiting to see if you are that gullible or not.

Yeah, I hit something weird like this the one time I tried to sell something on eBay, too. A buyer bid on it, won the auction, then after-the-fact tried to back out. I’m not sure what the scam was, but I said no, and they paid and took the item. But it totally soured me on selling anything on eBay ever again. This was a low-cost item and the hassle of it all made the whole thing such a waste of time and effort.
