Re: PAYPAL Scam Emails!!! Everyone Look and Be Cautious!!
Amazing. This is the 3rd one in as many months I believe. There was also an ebay one which was very good facsimile. Surprising they don't do anything to shut down these sites faster and then prosecute the scammers. Ebay ahas stated it is not worth their time! Too many to go after. Ha! -
Re: HELP with this Gold Coin? Is it Authentic?
If I understand the latest story, the original one about inherited coins was a misdirect so as not to tip off the potential deal. Those coins were then supposedly sold. Then, the scammer came back with a "new" coin which the OP posted on this thread. If the above is correct, it was a little bit of fibbing to try to keep… -
Re: New Ebay Payments Can you still use Paypal?
No, you won't, because the carrier delivered the item. The buyer (scammer) is a thief. Carriers only pay insurance claims if in fact the item is not delivered and/or signed for (lost). Once ebay forces managed payments, I will just sell directly to buyers I know and trust or consign my items for sale. -
Re: Ebay-No Retutn of TPG Coins Enforceable? HELP LOL.
This sounds frighteningly similar to another case here for roughly same amount and time frame but I can't recall who it was. I believe after Paypal ruled againstr him even after proof the buyer was a scammer, he got his money back after going to the media about it. -
Re: Can you tell me if this Baseball is the real deal?
You should stamp "FAKE" "REPRINT" or "FACSIMILE" on the ball or hole punch / burn it so that it does not fall into the hands of a scammer who will pass it as authentic to a novice collector. Never again will the hobby be the same because your son and dog gave the ball an aged appearance. This has clearly ruined the hobby. -
Re: Is there any danger in selling your Ebay account?
I believe it's against ebay's rules. But then again, isn't everything. By selling it you are probably just allowing a scammer to do business under a former "good" account. I would imagine that totally stripping and account of personal info and it's Paypal account would be almost impossible. I wouldn't try it. -
Re: Hypothetical: Scam
There's no proof of anything in a hypothetical. One doesn't need to prove anything. If it's outside of eBay and a handshake deal, you're on your own. eBay and PayPal are not there to deal with alleged scammers. They're protecting their own interests and their customers' Playing outside of those parameters comes the great… -
Re: dumb question-2nd chance
How did the scammer know who you were? You were identified as bidder 2? I was under the impression ebay did away with the names and went to bidder 1 etc so people would not get phony 2nd chance offers. Did I misunderstand you? SD -
Re: Question: What do you call a person who studies and researches coins....
And what if that person has a virtual collection of coins. At least the person has a better hobby than someone that watches reality tv shows and gossips about them after words. At least coins are mostly real with the exception of some of the stuff ebay scammers create. I'm not sure what to call that. -
Re: 1954 Topps
Paypal does have scammers, but if you put delivery confirmaton on every item you sell, you get rid of a lot of problems. I, actually prefer it when people pay me via Paypal. It's easier than going to the bank for a cashier checks. Of course I am not a powerseller.
