I've been having an issue with a buyer on ebay as well. He bought a cell phone that I bought through ebay and never opened. It was new in the box, and it wasn't till after I bought it and read the literature on it that I realized it was WAY more than what I needed (it was a PDA).

So, I listed it and sold it, and the the guy bought it through the "Buy it Now" option. I had emailed him 3xs to ask whether it was received within the first month. He never replied. I also noticed on his feedback he had bought the exact same phone that he bought from me a few weeks before the one he bought from me, from another seller.

A month goes by and he finally emails me, only to say that the phone is now defective and he wants his money back. Umm.... excuse me. You never contact me, not even as a courtesy to let me know if you received the phone (I didn't have tracking on it, but I did have insurance on it). I also have a strict 3 day return policy. He keeps emailing me, and starts making threatening comments, and then he relists the item and says that it's used, but in working condition, just has a scratch from it being dropped. He's listed it 3xs now, and no one has bought it. He did keep emailing me and telling me I have to buy it back from him, or that I need to help him relist it to get his money back. I told him he should have bought a "Square Trade" warranty, which is what I bought with the new phone I got on ebay. It's offered, and he could have gotten it, but he refused to get it.

I also think he's a scammer, and I did report him and all his emails to ebay, because how am I to know if the phone he is claiming isn't working isn't the one he bought from the other seller, and not the one from me??? I never even unpacked the darn thing, and just resold it within a day of receiving it. He still has it listed on ebay, still says it is working. I'm just so upset he's going to sell it to someone knowing that it's not working, claiming he bought it for $349 (which he did not, not even close), and that he's only selling it because he's trying to make some money to help his mom with her bills cause she's old and sick. Funny how he never told me any of that..

I'm waiting to see if he does try to file a claim with PayPal. I don't think it would stand up if he did.

I trust no one these days. It's like so many people are just out there to defraud others and just want to make money.
