Hey dimers,
I need your help in tackling a fraud buyer on eBay. Here is what happened
I sold my iPhone 6S Plus 128gb on eBay to a buyer in Pune on 18th March 2016, got an email from eBay saying the payment is under verification and I need to ship the phone after the verification.
On 19th March 2016 I got an email from eBay saying the payment has been verified and I can ship the phone. I formatted the entire phone and sent it by courier with insurance on 19th March 2016.
The courier got delivered on 21st March 2016 and the buyer didn’t confirm the item even after sending him messages for 2 days.
Today, on 23rd March 2016, he raised a refund request on eBay saying the phone is defective! I sent him a perfectly working phone that is as good as new and now he says that they phone isn’t working and raised a claim.
How do I tackle this? Anyone has any experience in tackling such buyers on eBay? Please help me dimers.
Since its ebay, it would most probably be a win-win situation for both buyer and seller. Ebay at last would pay you and the buyer would also be compensated on the other hand.

That happens only if the purchase price is below 2000/1000
@raghupro Although I have no personal experience to help you with this, I am tagging one dimer who is an eBay powerseller.

I dunno
Yeah its an advantage for the buyer but not for the seller.
eBay would process refund for the buyer and if its a costly item it will be asked to return to the seller (no payment will be released to seller)
There are lots of cases where buyers sent cheap replicas/ duplicate items in the place of original items

Went through it dude, obviously I can’t do any of that. All I want is either my iPhone returned or my money.

Bottom line is that some seller had a similar issue, lost all his money and eventually ended up beating the shit out of the buyer by tracing him in person.

Bad news…. Hope you get back your phone or money. Nowadays can’t even believe the buyer to be a genuine, honest guy/gal….
If you have the address of the buyer, track him down if you can’t get it through proper way.
What buyer did to you isn’t right but did you seriously send a phone after formatting?
You mean you sent a used phone against an order of new phone? And that too the costliest phone in market not some cheap 2k phone?

I sent a used phone and the listing was for a used phone man. Here is the proof that I logged out of iCloud too
Edited to be safe 
Do you have some proof of the serial number of the phone and photocopy of original invoice ?
Regarding eBay Claim :
2) Keep checking eBay Guarantee claim page for any updates 2-3 times a day. eBay is first going to contact the buyer and may take an action without contacting you. They will post updates directly on claim page

y to ask buyer to obtain proof
That’s very very insightful man. Thanks a lot for all the info. I have done a few of them already and I will make sure to implement the rest too.
Edited the quoted post

I feel for the best possible outcome, these suggestions should be hidden for a while?
Who knows the buyer might be a dimer too? As per the buyer’s words, he seem to be doing this thing for quite a while. May be this will alert him to get ready for alternative reactions/actions?

Is it really possible? Because my friend also had a similar incident when he sold a router. The buyer claimed that he didn’t get an Invoice from the seller and also he claimed that warranty is non-transferable. Ebay went with the buyer saying warranty is non-transferable in case of used goods.

Generally ebay also wants to reject claims for high price products, just give them valid reason from their policies
which company router?
