Discussion eBay Full Refund on a Working $1,200 Vintage Amplifier – Is This Fair? refund Scammers & Fraud Collectibles Vintage electronics music Refunds Returned items Returns scam I’d appreciate advice from experienced eBay sellers. I sold a rare 1970s Yamaha CA-2000 amplifier to a UK buyer for around $1,200. It weighs about 25 kg. Unfortunately, one bottom leg was damaged during shipping, but the amplifier itself remained 100% working. I have photos/videos proving its condition before shipping. The buyer opened a return for a damaged item, and eBay issued a full refund. I have now lost the amplifier, the $1,200 sale, and the expensive international shipping cost. I even offered to send a replacement leg separately so the buyer could keep the amplifier, but he refused. The buyer now has a rare, fully working vintage amplifier after receiving a full refund. Even non-working or “junk” CA-2000 units can sell for high prices on eBay because of their rarity and valuable parts. Do you think this decision is fair? I’m now seriously worried about selling valuable 20–30 kg vintage Hi-Fi equipment on eBay.

Discussion Messages that just say Hi My recent listings have received messages, just saying hi or hello, from outside the US. If I respond, I get nothing back. Is this a scam of some sort? yesterday at 10:21 PM last reply 1 hour ago My recent listings have received messages, just saying hi or hello, from outside the US. If I respond, I get nothing back. Is this a scam of some sort? Discussion Any clue to as why I have to wait until buyers receive delivery in order to get access to my funds again? I'm a frequent seller, not too old on eBay, but still worked and performed well enough to finally begin receiving funds within 48 hours of an item being paid for. Now all of a sudden, all items have been showing "on hold until after delivery." Even though at the top of my eBay it says "congrats! You're receiving payments within 48 hours" or whatever it says. Nothing has changed performance wise, as that's the first thing I checked. This is very frustrating to have this randomly happen, as it unfortunately makes me want to stop selling on eBay all together. Not because I have to wait for funds, but just because I work at something and strive for excellent customer care and service, etc. and out of nowhere get limited again. I wish their was someone on eBay who could fix this for me and take care of it on my end, but I just don't understand is why I'm frustrated. Thank you for any and all advice. 6 hours ago last reply 1 hour ago I'm a frequent seller, not too old on eBay, but still worked and performed well enough to finally begin receiving funds within 48 hours of an item being paid for.

Discussion International account living in United States Why is it that a buyer with a valid address in the United States is continuing to have a registered account in a foreign country yet lives in USA. So an item sells to a New York address yet I have to pay fees for a international buyer because his account is listed as living in INDIA??? Not the first time this has happened to me, myself a very low volume seller. My opinion just another scam for unnecessary fees for the crooks. A class action lawsuit should be filed because this BS adds thousands in their pockets that shouldn't be! yesterday at 5:21 PM last reply 1 hour ago Why is it that a buyer with a valid address in the United States is continuing to have a registered account in a foreign country yet lives in USA.
