a guy bought my old cell phone, claimed it was broken, and then mailed me back a different broken phone of the same model. That is a difficult threat to guard against.
Maybe for electronics there should be a way to record the serial number and require the buyer and seller to confirm that the serial number matches the one on record for the transaction at the time of delivery. That would at least reduce the chance that someone would try to return a different item.

- eli 13y agoThe scammer swapped the serial number sticker behind the battery! If the phone wasn't inoperable, I could prove it. (How do I know? The sticker was off-center and poorly attached + the phone was missing some memorable scuff marks. Also, my phone worked.)
