I've seen a few people claim scammers use ebay like this. Buy high value stuff and send back fakes or broken items etc. EBay default to siding with the buyer so its easily done.
Yeah it seems so. Although I'm a buyer in my case but have a genuine reason for return.
But I did once sell a guitar, the buyer had the guitar for about 13 days then suddenly popped up requesting a refund saying it was damaged and a lot of the paintwork and come off and was cracked etc..
It's clear he had done the damage because I know the condition it was sent in and how well packaged it was. I've sent guitars all over the world without issues and the problem with this one wasn't something that would be done inside a box.
The lad clearly damaged it within the 2 weeks of having it, or got buyers remorse and damaged it to take advantage of ebay's refund policy.
There seems be no common sense involved, no questioning by ebay about why it took 2 weeks to complain etc.
To be honest, I'm not even sure anybody looks at the case. I took my issue in the original post to a case and it was resolved in my favour within 10 minutes. It's probably just automated.
