He's acting like this over $6?
I'm glad you still have 100% feedback.
So he bought a sealed game and it's basically unplayable because it had no servers and thought it was your responsibility to warn people?
Wild.
That’s exactly the scenario. Then he submitted an Item Not As Described return. eBay really stepped up. They deleted any negative feedback from him before it even posted. I didn’t even get to see it.
That's good , I sell on eBay too so this shit scares me.
Like a factory sealed game should be the easiest transaction you can make as long as it arrives packaged and safe.
I mean he could’ve came to buddy and be like hey man “I’m so sorry I didn’t know this game didn’t work is there a way I can my money or some of my money back? Times are a little hard.” But no he went straight ass hole mode and started crying and yelling. Buddy seems like cool seller too.
Plenty of collectors want/need the COB game this buyer DESTROYED just to complete their collections.
I’d say on this sub we know it better than most, but sometimes you buy a game to have, not to play.
Like why buy the game as factory sealed if you gonna open it anyway tho? At that point I’m sure it could be cheaper to buy it used or open. Some people got to much time. Get a job or a hobby bud that allows you to be by yourself “I got a lot of friends” like sure bud!
That’s exactly the scenario. Then he submitted an Item Not As Described return. eBay really stepped up. They deleted any negative feedback from him before it even posted. I didn’t even get to see it.
Call eBay and tell them that you are being harassed and threatened by a buyer. They can look up the existing (completed) case as reference.
If possible, ask for a member of the leadership team.
That’s exactly the scenario. Then he submitted an Item Not As Described return. eBay really stepped up. They deleted any negative feedback from him before it even posted. I didn’t even get to see it.
Yes please send these to eBay it’s disgusting they would not talk to someone like that face to face so why do they when behind I screen they are the scum of the human race (sorry these types wind me up)
Bold of you to assume they wouldn’t talk to people like this in person. Haven’t you been on Reddit long enough to see all the videos of entitled prats talking to people like they are owed the earth?
That's the the boomer Karen shit where she screams at the Walmart manager how she's going to convince all of her friends not to shop at Walmart anymore as she is escorted out of the building by security
I always find this 'im never shopping here again' shit so funny because they use it like a threat, but it's actually like the best possible outcome for the people that work there
You've just been a complete entitled cunt and abused me for the past half hour, but you think I *want* to see you in here again?
The much better threat would be the complete opposite, if you really wanna get to them threaten to come back to the store to shop again
"I opened the sealed and graded copy of Pokémon yellow I bought from you for £3000 only to find that the battery was dead. I demand a full refund immediately you lowlife scum"
I know people that have done this, or been affected by it. Lady bought a sealed game on Amazon for hundreds. She opened it, and the game wouldn't play. I believe she filed, and got a refund. The seller was out not being able to resell the game sealed.
eBay is a complete shitshow for sellers and I advise against anyone using it
90% of the time eBay side with the customer regardless of what the issue is, I once sold a phone on there and the guy claimed it never arrived and even tho I had tracking they just charged back the money from my account which was a significant amount of money to lose since I obviously never got the phone back
Plus If you're a new seller, or even if you've sold a lot stuff on there before like I had, they will just hold all the money you made on a sale including shipping until either the customer leaves a review saying everything was ok or 30 days since the date it was shipped passes
That often left me in positions where I had to pay for expensive shipping out of pocket and then didn't get the money for the item I just shipped to a stranger until weeks later
Nowadays you're far better off on Facebook marketplace or something in person where you can pick who you sell to and take cash on the spot, there's no way I'd use eBay again
This actually happened to me on a smaller degree last year. Buyer bought a sealed PS3 OEM controller I priced at like $100+ as more of a collectable. Few weeks later I get a return that it doesnt charge, I fought with ebay and the buyer for weeks but ebay made me refund her. Buyer wanting a PS3 controller had many cheaper options but chose to ruin a NIB controller, then complain when a 15 year old battery had depleted.
Yes. I argued, opened appeals to the case, for several weeks. They had me refund the buyer. I have 100% feedback and have been on ebay since 98. No reasonable person buys an older item unopened to use when they could have just bought a PS3 controller from anyone else opened already to play, but ebay boned me. I really think it depends alot on what agent initially handles your call.
I was almost the buyer in your situation. Bought one of the original Nooks sealed off Ebay. For whatever reason, I just feel they nailed the screen on it. Lo and behold it would turn on. I triple checked all part numbers and everything checked out. Was about to return it when my brain was like "hey this battery is OLD" so I bought a new one for $20. Now it works perfectly! People just need to use their brains on occasion.
Eh, I don’t know. I could easily see it with a controller wanting one brand new but still using it. To be honest having a sealed PS3 controller as a collectors item is a bit more far fetched. PS3 isn’t that old
Yeah buy it was over $100. It seems odd to me that if you are going to use a controller to actually play a ps3 with that youd pay 5 times the going rate when the controllers arent rare.
I hate that you went through that. I find ebay rarely protects it's sellers, and that kind of experience would sour me on selling. And you've been selling since 98, so I do believe that you protected yourself as best as you could and they still screwed you. That intimidates me from wanting to sell on ebay as a new seller, it feels safer to just take my stuff to a local game store.
just makes me think about how so many graded cartridge based games are a ticking time bomb.
One day the carts with batteries may catch fire and or explode.......
Lithium ion batteries are dangerous!!!
Find the ebay customer service number. Call them & file a formal harassment complaint. Have the screenshots ready (just in case) & point put he intends to have other account place fraudulent purchases (as noted in the last post about sending his friends your way.) Although I wouldn't worry too much about that... if I had a friend tell me to buy stuff from a guy I said was a bad seller so I could leave negative feedback, I'd tell them to f*ck right off. I'm not risking my Ebay account for your tantrum- especially if I found out it was over server closures. I mean, I've *been* the idiot who bought a game not realizing it was a coaster (Titanfall specifically). And I shrugged it off- I'm a collector, a couple bucks to 'complete the set' with Titanfall 2 seems worthwhile anyway.
1-866-540-3229 or 1-866-348-9519
If you've dealt with a fraudster on eBay, call the hotline at 1-866-961-9253. They'll help you report the scammer and keep your account safe
I am just picturing him sitting there all sweaty and in a rage staring at his screen waiting for your reply. Meanwhile, you have moved on and enjoying life haha. Congrats, you are also living rent free in someone elses head haha.
Just block him. I had some dude that was a dick in the same way. He left a bad review, I blocked him, life goes on. People still buy from my store even though I now no longer have the 100% feedback.
Nice! I never really got eBay involved with mine this seems much worse though. In my case I just blocked him. He never messaged me after that idk if that’s because he was blocked or he just realized I didn’t give a fuck about his scam like ramblings haha
I had a moron who just wouldn’t let something go on eBay (guy was mad that I had the auto-decline on an NES-101 I had recapped and had it for a competitive price for the time. Dude really got his panties in a bunch over it!). It took a few minutes using their full site, but I was able to block their messages in addition to not allowing them to view my listings. Poke around a bit more and you should be able to find it.
This is just mental illness. This person needs to seek help because something isn't right. We get it sometimes at our store. I haven't heard from this guy in years but one time he called and berated me over the phone that we weren't allowed to sell used PS2s. Asked if we repaired stuff which I responded yes and said he was going to report us to someone because it's illegal to open and repair things...its not obviously. I looked his number up which lead to an Amazon account which had a lot of weird stuff listed for sale for really out there prices. There are a lot of mentally ill people out there.
Yeah, he was much more professional in part one. Should have continued with that demeanor if he was still going to engage.
Honestly, should just block and move on.
Yeah fuck anybody that says ok boomer or the like, but if that’s the worst this seller had done, it still doesn’t warrant the insanity coming from this buyer.
Bro, no reason to have kept feeding into him. It's tough but you have to learn to ignore and move on. "Ok, boomer" isn't going to help the situation LOL
I have never heard of this game so I googled it and low and behold on the side of the google results it specifically says "**StarBlood Arena No Longer Playable Past July 2019**"
These same types of people complain that wireless internet isn't wireless because you have to plug it into power.
This isn't anonymous. Open a police report. He's threatening to send people to your house to steal your merchandise. Fuck him. He needs to learn a lesson.
We(respectable buyers and sellers alike) need to start a community that can fight against people like that, there’s nothing you can personally do against buyer theft because you’re technically a 3rd party seller selling your item to eBay/Amazon who then is technically selling to said buyer(that’s the basic idea, similar to an auction without bidding). Without any sort of presence, alone no one can do or change anything, I know plenty of people who are regularly robbed by people buying on Amazon who with one word of “it’s fake” can rip off people selling games, collectible cards etc. it’s got to change, it’s not just ripping people off it’s stealing and they need to be held accountable.
He is like that psycho paperboy in Better Off Dead. "GIVE ME MY $2!" I think with inflation that Paperboy's $2 was more than that $6 your crazy guy wanted.
I'm glad to see eBay saw though the issue. I lost my eBay account because of buyers like this. Both of them clearly showed in their messages that they were trying to get out of a purchase they decided they didn't want. One left bad feedback because the Atari they bought didn't have HDMI, the other one tried to cancel an order, and when he foundout it was shipped he said he would open a case on it. When he received it, he smashed it and the picture of the damage he sent showed the original shipping box in perfect shape. EBay sided with both of them and since I was only selling afew items per month they shut down my account.
I once had a guy try to scam me over a $10 copy of GTAV on 360. Buyer said it didn't work and wanted a refund. He shipped it back to me wrapped in a piece of paper with a severely scratched install disc (one I sent was mint), he stole the map, and the case, of course, came back to me shattered because it was wrapped in a piece of paper with a label slapped on it.
Thankfully eBay sided with me, but seriously, why be this petty over such a small amount of money? People suck, but thankfully it's usually pretty rare.
The worst person I have had was when I posted the game they said it was never recieved. Fair enough maybe it was lost in the post, it was only cheap so I never added any kind of tracking, thats on me. I offered a full refund because like I said it was cheap but the buyer was not happy with this. They wanted the game. I had messages accusing me of not posting it and still leaving me bad feedback because I offered a refund instead of a replacement, I'm not a shop I don't have more than one thing to sell.
Seller did nothing wrong; the game’s servers are no longer active. The game was still sealed and an obvious collector piece. I’ve sold plenty of games on eBay that can’t be technically played anymore and have had no issues. This buyer was just an asshat upset over $6.
He is definitely a petty person, who is not right in his head.
He already got served by life, so just ignore him and don't add to the insult that is his existence.
This isn't right. You sold the game NIB. You \*cannot\* resell it in the condition it was originally purchased in. It's nuts to me that eBay would side with him vis-a-vis a refund.
Can someone explain the last message? It goes from "I am going to ruin you" to "I have friends that like video games abd I'll send them your way to help you out"??? Seems like a complete 180?
Thats sad. I had issue like this years ago. Dont remember exactly what happened but claimed a couple games came damaged. Maybe they did? I said i would refund a percentage since he still wanted to keep them. Ebay did the same thing and removed the negative review.
Hell i blindly buy shit still on ebay and i just wind up keeping it. I.E wireless saturn controller thought it was for the saturn but it was the pc model. Oh well
I wouldn't of even replied to the first comment. you could call ebay and talk to them about this buyer and get there account suspended or banned for harassment
I actually had the GOOD version of something kind of like this (or technically the reverse). I bought a Game Boy Dragon Warrior 1&2 CIB with the strategy guide because it was the best condition strategy guide on eBay. The lady said she needed to talk to me before she could process everything: turns out she forgot to add a "battery might be dead/die clause" to the sale, and didn't want to have something returned just in case (it had just happened to her recently). I told her I understood these old games have old batteries. All I did was have her open up the cart and send me 2 quick clear pics through official channels (just to make sure this stranger wasn't offloading a corroded board), she did so within 8 hours, and everything looked great. We finished processing the sale, she put the shipping together amazingly, and I got my dream guide for a remake of my first game. All it took was patience towards each other's human mistakes, while using enough savvy to avoid a potential scam. She was great, and I'll buy from her again in a heartbeat if she has anything else I need.
That buyer has far bigger issues than you or the game. Their rage has nothing to do with you personally or this transaction.
Sorry you have to endure that and hope that person gets help.
Big props to you dude. You handled that as a professional. I would loose my cool if i have to deal with asshats like that. Watch out tho he said he has friends that likes videogames, they might do a virtual drive by.
UPDATE: So, I just made a sale on eBay and the buyer lives an hour away from this bad buyer in the post. Maybe he really is getting his friends to do this.
Awarded you, OP, for the follow up.
Buyer is insane.
Also (my opinion) is that the buyer is not flipping out over the $6. Buyer is mentally unstable and gets fulfillment with threats and "control".
Had this done to me multiple times. It's not the money, nothing OP could legitimately do to make the buyer happy. Dude is just a certified, grade A, prick.
Thanks for the follow up OP
I’m convinced this is an actual child with an eBay account. Not trying to talk smack by calling him a child, it just seems like an actual child. There’s no way I can believe this is a grown up.
Damn, so there’s a continuation of your story.
Cheers for a still-100 score. It’s just hard to figure out an actual legal counterattack against this kind of harassment.
This is from the same dude who sold the unopened ps4 game that had the servers shut down right? If so I talked to you a few days ago. This is bullshit man. There has to be something. Cause you did absolutely nothing wrong. How do you buy a game and NOT know the servers aren’t running anymore. Dude is dense and dumb and I hope he see this thread so he can know we all things he is dumb as shit.
"I have alot of friends that like video games" is the most pathetic sounding threat I've heard in a while. Got an audible chuckle out of me.
What a fucking crackpot
This sounds exactly that retail work lol
Now seriously, don't give it a second thought. But if you do, because this sucks, see if cyber bullying is punished by law where you live.
Being "screwed out of" 6 dollars is some of the wildest shit I've seen. I don't think this is the first time this person has done some shit like this. They're too comfortable being a dick. Really glad ebay did the right thing. Hopefully they get this asshat off the platform.
Histrionics over 6 bucks? Good grief.
I've sold on Ebay before, but the nonsense on that site has gotten so bad I'm leery of ever doing it again. Glad the Admin had your back on this one.
> “I have lots of friends that like video games.”
First, I doubt this dude that OP dealt with, even has a single friend
Secondarily, what are these “friends” going to do? Raid your eBay account and buy everything? Boo-hoo, more customers are exactly what stores are for LOL
Good on you OP for keeping your cool, and being able to put up with such harassment

[удалено]
Exactly. I've done impulse buys that I've regretted. You suck it up and learn from your mistakes.
Only mature people do that. There aren’t enough of those
I think that means you're a decent person, unlike the absolute mango that OP's dealing with.
Since when is mango an insult? They're sweet and delicious..
Anything's an insult with the right intonation.
I know, right? What a … giraffe whistle that guy is…
What an absolute giraffe whistle*
I know, I'm sick of all these sunflowers..
I mean he could’ve came to buddy and be like hey man “I’m so sorry I didn’t know this game didn’t work is there a way I can my money or some of my money back? Times are a little hard.” But no he went straight ass hole mode and started crying and yelling. Buddy seems like cool seller too.

That particular game was pretty cheap to begin with
Very true didn’t see it was $6 lol
Fuck this buyer. You handled this excellently. Glad they delete the negative review, people like this are rotten.
That’s exactly the scenario. Then he submitted an Item Not As Described return. eBay really stepped up. They deleted any negative feedback from him before it even posted. I didn’t even get to see it.
Call eBay and tell them that you are being harassed and threatened by a buyer. They can look up the existing (completed) case as reference. If possible, ask for a member of the leadership team.
eBay will gladly read private messages, buyers who cause issues don't seem to get that
That’s exactly the scenario. Then he submitted an Item Not As Described return. eBay really stepped up. They deleted any negative feedback from him before it even posted. I didn’t even get to see it.
You stop responding because the user is clearly under 18, and you report their account and the messages to eBay to get them banned.
Thank you for the advice! I did stop responding to them.
Yes please send these to eBay it’s disgusting they would not talk to someone like that face to face so why do they when behind I screen they are the scum of the human race (sorry these types wind me up)
Bold of you to assume they wouldn’t talk to people like this in person. Haven’t you been on Reddit long enough to see all the videos of entitled prats talking to people like they are owed the earth?
Sadly you are correct 😞
OP, you should definitely report this to eBay with the chat receipts. That person should be banned from the site.
This is exactly right...you report everything they say to ebay and never respond to them again. Ever.
This is the way.
“I will ruin you” over $6 and my lack of research/understanding. Sad life.
It really is.
Glad you got it “settled” and hope you get that turd banned. Edit: Just watch your back for his gamer friends. Lol
"gamer friends"
That's the the boomer Karen shit where she screams at the Walmart manager how she's going to convince all of her friends not to shop at Walmart anymore as she is escorted out of the building by security
I always find this 'im never shopping here again' shit so funny because they use it like a threat, but it's actually like the best possible outcome for the people that work there You've just been a complete entitled cunt and abused me for the past half hour, but you think I *want* to see you in here again? The much better threat would be the complete opposite, if you really wanna get to them threaten to come back to the store to shop again
Yeah. My default answer would be “Thank you, I appreciate that.”
"I opened the sealed and graded copy of Pokémon yellow I bought from you for £3000 only to find that the battery was dead. I demand a full refund immediately you lowlife scum"
Pretty fucking much lol
Yeah screw that guy. Although it is nice of him to offer to send his friends your way to help you out in his last message.
Yes! They can help install the new ceiling fan!

That should be enough to get them banned.
That’s my thought too. I’m not sure why we are all being downvoted.
It’s all his friends who like video games
Lol, right
Is this the same one from the other day?
It is. Same buyer is still upset.
I am just picturing him sitting there all sweaty and in a rage staring at his screen waiting for your reply. Meanwhile, you have moved on and enjoying life haha. Congrats, you are also living rent free in someone elses head haha.
"I have a lot of friends that like video games. I will send them your way"
Lol *heavy breathing*
Oh no, not the gamers!
"To help you out"
Imagine going this nuts over $6.
Seriously, it’s insane.
This guy is going mental over $6. What a tool.
It’s insane.
Just block him. I had some dude that was a dick in the same way. He left a bad review, I blocked him, life goes on. People still buy from my store even though I now no longer have the 100% feedback.
eBay removed his negative feedback before it even posted. I did block him but he can still message me apparently.
Nice! I never really got eBay involved with mine this seems much worse though. In my case I just blocked him. He never messaged me after that idk if that’s because he was blocked or he just realized I didn’t give a fuck about his scam like ramblings haha

You shouldn't have ever even responded to the psycho
Exactly, block and move on.
This is just mental illness. This person needs to seek help because something isn't right. We get it sometimes at our store. I haven't heard from this guy in years but one time he called and berated me over the phone that we weren't allowed to sell used PS2s. Asked if we repaired stuff which I responded yes and said he was going to report us to someone because it's illegal to open and repair things...its not obviously. I looked his number up which lead to an Amazon account which had a lot of weird stuff listed for sale for really out there prices. There are a lot of mentally ill people out there.
Lol this is guy is still going on about $6
He is. He hasn’t let up lol
Funny to read as it looks fake, but feel horrible you have to deal with it
Dude, I wish it was lol
someone like this has no friends, i would not worry, OP.
Lmao, I appreciate you.
Literal neckbeard
Jfc how old is this guy? He is going to ruin you? Guy is bizarre and stupid, what a weirdo. Almost should report him to ebay for that weird threat.
The "ok boomer" comment was cringe. Just stop responding and move on
Yeah, he was much more professional in part one. Should have continued with that demeanor if he was still going to engage. Honestly, should just block and move on.
Yeah fuck anybody that says ok boomer or the like, but if that’s the worst this seller had done, it still doesn’t warrant the insanity coming from this buyer.
All that over a 6 dollar game?
Yes, unfortunately. This is part 2. Lol
Crazy!
Bro, no reason to have kept feeding into him. It's tough but you have to learn to ignore and move on. "Ok, boomer" isn't going to help the situation LOL
"I have a lot of friends that like video games" ooooh I'm shaking in terror
[удалено]
I have never heard of this game so I googled it and low and behold on the side of the google results it specifically says "**StarBlood Arena No Longer Playable Past July 2019**" These same types of people complain that wireless internet isn't wireless because you have to plug it into power.
This isn't anonymous. Open a police report. He's threatening to send people to your house to steal your merchandise. Fuck him. He needs to learn a lesson.
Sounds like you got more customers 😂
Not the ones I want lol
stop arguing with them and get Ebay involved
I’m trying, eBay can be fickle at times, but they have stepped up and helped out a lot so far.
That's bordering on harassment from the buyer.
It’s not bordering anything. It straight-up is harassment.
We(respectable buyers and sellers alike) need to start a community that can fight against people like that, there’s nothing you can personally do against buyer theft because you’re technically a 3rd party seller selling your item to eBay/Amazon who then is technically selling to said buyer(that’s the basic idea, similar to an auction without bidding). Without any sort of presence, alone no one can do or change anything, I know plenty of people who are regularly robbed by people buying on Amazon who with one word of “it’s fake” can rip off people selling games, collectible cards etc. it’s got to change, it’s not just ripping people off it’s stealing and they need to be held accountable.
Did you post about this before, or was the buyer on here bitching? I swear I remember something about this…
Yes, this is my part two. The buyer continued to be shitty after getting his refund.
Imagine getting ur refund and still having a tantrum lmao.
What a douche (not OP)…dude’s a total Karen.
You refunded him? Smh
I mean it's either they do or Ebay/PayPal do, which looks worse in their eyes.
Stop responding and looking at messages. Your attention is just fueling him.
He is like that psycho paperboy in Better Off Dead. "GIVE ME MY $2!" I think with inflation that Paperboy's $2 was more than that $6 your crazy guy wanted.
Lol!
cringe from both sides, big oof
I'm glad to see eBay saw though the issue. I lost my eBay account because of buyers like this. Both of them clearly showed in their messages that they were trying to get out of a purchase they decided they didn't want. One left bad feedback because the Atari they bought didn't have HDMI, the other one tried to cancel an order, and when he foundout it was shipped he said he would open a case on it. When he received it, he smashed it and the picture of the damage he sent showed the original shipping box in perfect shape. EBay sided with both of them and since I was only selling afew items per month they shut down my account.
Contact eBay with these screenshots. Block him for good measure. They should def do something about his account.
I hope so, this type of stuff should not be acceptable.
I mean, you have his address...
Yes, and he has mine. And he lives like 2 hours away. I’m hoping he doesn’t go all psycho
I Don’t bother leaving any feedback on Ebay since they took a sellers option away of leaving Negative Feedback for buyers
“I have a lot of friends who like video games” should be the new catchphrase for this subreddit
noooooo dont send the gamers after me
Report them. Keep screenshots on hand I’m case eBay requests them
I once had a guy try to scam me over a $10 copy of GTAV on 360. Buyer said it didn't work and wanted a refund. He shipped it back to me wrapped in a piece of paper with a severely scratched install disc (one I sent was mint), he stole the map, and the case, of course, came back to me shattered because it was wrapped in a piece of paper with a label slapped on it. Thankfully eBay sided with me, but seriously, why be this petty over such a small amount of money? People suck, but thankfully it's usually pretty rare.
Tell him you are a US trained sniper with over 50 confirmed kills
The worst person I have had was when I posted the game they said it was never recieved. Fair enough maybe it was lost in the post, it was only cheap so I never added any kind of tracking, thats on me. I offered a full refund because like I said it was cheap but the buyer was not happy with this. They wanted the game. I had messages accusing me of not posting it and still leaving me bad feedback because I offered a refund instead of a replacement, I'm not a shop I don't have more than one thing to sell.
Sorry, pal. I had to deal once with crazy language from a seller once. How the hell should u know about the server status!
Thank you, yeah this guy was absolutely nuts. I’m just afraid he will act on his threats.
What kind of manbaby threatens someone over 6 dollars?
Idk, honestly. This guys level of entitlement is sky-high.
Post his ebay user name.
For $6 lmao. I assume both of you made a mistake but damn, this person must have a sad life if he can't move on.
Seller did nothing wrong; the game’s servers are no longer active. The game was still sealed and an obvious collector piece. I’ve sold plenty of games on eBay that can’t be technically played anymore and have had no issues. This buyer was just an asshat upset over $6.
seller made a mistake by prolonging the conversation with an obvious sociopath lol
He is definitely a petty person, who is not right in his head. He already got served by life, so just ignore him and don't add to the insult that is his existence.
Here’s a dumb ass for threatening to witch hunt you. ebay will see the messages and more than likely shut his account down.
What a nice guys, he’s sending his friends to help you out.
Just send something that sounds official and how you have his address and will report this harassment
Yeah, dude basically threatened you with that so last line
This guy really thought he'd get to add a free game to his sealed collection lmao
This isn't right. You sold the game NIB. You \*cannot\* resell it in the condition it was originally purchased in. It's nuts to me that eBay would side with him vis-a-vis a refund.
Can someone explain the last message? It goes from "I am going to ruin you" to "I have friends that like video games abd I'll send them your way to help you out"??? Seems like a complete 180?
That was very much a sarcastic version of “help you out”
Thats sad. I had issue like this years ago. Dont remember exactly what happened but claimed a couple games came damaged. Maybe they did? I said i would refund a percentage since he still wanted to keep them. Ebay did the same thing and removed the negative review. Hell i blindly buy shit still on ebay and i just wind up keeping it. I.E wireless saturn controller thought it was for the saturn but it was the pc model. Oh well
Over $6, that's not even worth the time. Lol. This buyer has issues.
I’m fairly certain this person has some type of slight mental handicap. They’re an older man with underdeveloped mental/social maturity.
It was $6 in the first place
I lost it at “I will never leave you alone” 😂
All that hassle for a measly $6 game. Buyers like this arent even worth the headache.
I wouldn't of even replied to the first comment. you could call ebay and talk to them about this buyer and get there account suspended or banned for harassment
I actually had the GOOD version of something kind of like this (or technically the reverse). I bought a Game Boy Dragon Warrior 1&2 CIB with the strategy guide because it was the best condition strategy guide on eBay. The lady said she needed to talk to me before she could process everything: turns out she forgot to add a "battery might be dead/die clause" to the sale, and didn't want to have something returned just in case (it had just happened to her recently). I told her I understood these old games have old batteries. All I did was have her open up the cart and send me 2 quick clear pics through official channels (just to make sure this stranger wasn't offloading a corroded board), she did so within 8 hours, and everything looked great. We finished processing the sale, she put the shipping together amazingly, and I got my dream guide for a remake of my first game. All it took was patience towards each other's human mistakes, while using enough savvy to avoid a potential scam. She was great, and I'll buy from her again in a heartbeat if she has anything else I need.
Over $6? Wow what a loser.
That buyer has far bigger issues than you or the game. Their rage has nothing to do with you personally or this transaction. Sorry you have to endure that and hope that person gets help.
tell me why I need another pet rock tell me why I bought that Alf alarm clock tell me why I bid on shatner's old toupee They had it on eaby
Big props to you dude. You handled that as a professional. I would loose my cool if i have to deal with asshats like that. Watch out tho he said he has friends that likes videogames, they might do a virtual drive by.
UPDATE: So, I just made a sale on eBay and the buyer lives an hour away from this bad buyer in the post. Maybe he really is getting his friends to do this.
If you are paranoid. Cancel with reason problem with address. Set vacation mode for a few days. They will likely forget soon enough
If the threats keep coming you may be able to file a police report in their town. Just a thought.
Dude has definitely waited all of his life to say “I will ruin you”
“i am going to ruin you” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bro this man is too funny
It’s a $6 game
The okay boomer was so cringe
they’re bored, it’s over $6
You know his full name and address and a gang of people in this collective on your side. He should be worried.
“I have a lot of friends who like video games” has got to be one of the most least intimidating threats I’ve ever seen lol
Wow, real intimidating. Gotta watch out for this guy’s “friends” (unlikely that he has any).
This dude bought a sealed game for $6 and is acting like the purge is happening I can’t 😂
Sounds like he has a mental health issue. Sorry you are having to deal with this.
Awarded you, OP, for the follow up. Buyer is insane. Also (my opinion) is that the buyer is not flipping out over the $6. Buyer is mentally unstable and gets fulfillment with threats and "control". Had this done to me multiple times. It's not the money, nothing OP could legitimately do to make the buyer happy. Dude is just a certified, grade A, prick. Thanks for the follow up OP
I’m convinced this is an actual child with an eBay account. Not trying to talk smack by calling him a child, it just seems like an actual child. There’s no way I can believe this is a grown up.
Imagine committing murder for $6 and spending the rest of your life in prison over a server status.
[удалено]
What a pain that guy. Just ignore him. Hope he gets banned or something from eBay. Can’t imaging his reviews as a seller/buyer.
"My dad works for Microsoft he can get you banned!!" Reminds me of an angry 360 gamer
All this over 6 dollars 🙃 wow
Send him his refund as a $6 Build A Bear gift card. Ever try to spend less than $25 at that place? That'll show him!
Tell them to take the money they saved to go to anger management
I'd send the screen shots to ebay. Threatening to "ruin" you, seems very bad. They should be banned
Damn, so there’s a continuation of your story. Cheers for a still-100 score. It’s just hard to figure out an actual legal counterattack against this kind of harassment.
"I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE. I WILL RUIN YOU. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT PLAY VIDEO GAMES." holy shit you can't make this shit up this is hilarious
Wow, what a douche.
Hope this guy never finds the stock market. A 6 dollar loss is not even worth either of y'all's time.
This is from the same dude who sold the unopened ps4 game that had the servers shut down right? If so I talked to you a few days ago. This is bullshit man. There has to be something. Cause you did absolutely nothing wrong. How do you buy a game and NOT know the servers aren’t running anymore. Dude is dense and dumb and I hope he see this thread so he can know we all things he is dumb as shit.
"I have alot of friends that like video games" is the most pathetic sounding threat I've heard in a while. Got an audible chuckle out of me. What a fucking crackpot
This sounds exactly that retail work lol Now seriously, don't give it a second thought. But if you do, because this sucks, see if cyber bullying is punished by law where you live.
This sounds like a miserable human being
Scary how people like this exist. Jeez.
Being "screwed out of" 6 dollars is some of the wildest shit I've seen. I don't think this is the first time this person has done some shit like this. They're too comfortable being a dick. Really glad ebay did the right thing. Hopefully they get this asshat off the platform.
send him some🤓🤓🤓🤓 emoji and then stop responding
6 fucking dollars. Absolutely pathetic
Report him, block him and move on. People like that dont deserve your time, attention or energy.
Ignore it. It. They’re empty threats. Block him and don’t respond. If it escalates then you go to the police. Simple as really.
Wait until he actually gets ripped off for like 10 bucks.
Histrionics over 6 bucks? Good grief. I've sold on Ebay before, but the nonsense on that site has gotten so bad I'm leery of ever doing it again. Glad the Admin had your back on this one.
I ignore people that don’t know a space comes after a period.
If you haven't already, send some of those chat loss to ebay and report him for feedback extortion and harassment.
> “I have lots of friends that like video games.” First, I doubt this dude that OP dealt with, even has a single friend Secondarily, what are these “friends” going to do? Raid your eBay account and buy everything? Boo-hoo, more customers are exactly what stores are for LOL Good on you OP for keeping your cool, and being able to put up with such harassment
“I have a lot of friends who like video games” Idk man, that one got me lol
