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.
Update:
The remittance for my transaction was put on hold as I had to complete the KYC formalities being a seller. This step kicks in whenever the overall remittance crosses Rs. 30,000.
As the bank details given were my firm’s account I had to submit some extra documents for KYC verification process.
Just got an email saying that the KYC verification process has been completed successfully! As per their cycle their next remittance is on 18th April so that is when the payment will be made to my account.
I guess it’s all done for now. Thanks for all the support guys!

The buyer never confirmed that the product has been received by him on eBay so I have to wait for 2 more days for auto confirmation of the shipment receipt and then to initiate the payment process.
Strange! As far as I can remember, the buyer can raise a claim only after he confirms receipt of item.
Have things changed, @getready ?

Nah, never confirm item receipt if you are the buyer
if you confirm the item receipt, then payment gets released for the seller

Will not the system ask us to confirm item receipt while trying to raise a claim?

I was perplexed by that logic too. When a buyer raised a refund request saying that the product isn’t as described isn’t it assumed by default that the product has been received? eBay and it’s logic!

No
If someone is raising a claim that something is wrong with this purchase, then obviously he received the item (according to eBay)
As far as i got to know from eBay, we should confirm the item receipt only if we are 100% satisfied with the product received
Usually eBay sellers (including me) insist the buyers to confirm the item receipt when the product gets delivered
most of the buyers doesnt do that until 4 or 5 days (Good practise), some wont do it all
Edit : once the payment gets released to the seller, there’s nothing much any buyer can do
Mostly eBay will ask the buyer to settle the issue with the seller personally

The purchase got auto confirmed on eBay today morning but the remittance details are yet to be updated in Account Balance in My PaisaPay. Hopefully the details will be update in Account Balance today and will be able to get the remittance tomorrow (Monday) else it will happen on Thursday
Looks like the transaction is almost successful, fingers crossed!
Will write a consolidation post on what new sellers need to take care of and at the same time my two cents for buyers too.
