I can only claim £25 on courier insurance...

Stand facing the table, lower all clothing below the waist, lean forward with feet slightly apart placing palms flat on the table, Ebay will be by shortly.

Seriously, why? :eek:

I got scammed for a phone I sold a while back. Guy gave me good feedback, used it for a few days then started to claim it was riddled with Trojans. And the gps didn't work. Total hassle. I only sell on the local Facebook buying/selling page now.

Yup, sold for 260...

That alone should have told you something want right. That's too much for a used PS4.

Naivety? Never been scammed before...

I selected default compensation so +£0 = £0-25 compensation.

It was the white model, perfect brand new condition with witcher 3 included.

I feel for you being scammed but you just did everything those scammers love.

Can't blame anyone but yourself!

Then why would you not have the correct level of insurance coverage and why didn't you record the serial number?

What is the chance that something genuinely went wrong?
The person has over 400 feedback's. 100%

I had an issue with my PS3 where I had to factory reset it to get it to show something on screen. Seeing as this person can't even type properly, 'not switching on' could mean anything.

Lol eBay.. Why would anyone even what.

How will you know that it's your PS4 to know if it's a genuine problem?

Scammers having success won't lead to bad feedback.

Yes, output settings maybe wrong for his tv but only power saving settings would get it to turn off no?

Yeah, blame the victim. Classy!

I didn't mean it like that.

Yes, the buyer might be trying to scam the OP. I don't know. But what can the OP do if he hasn't recorded the serial number, and not insured the postage?

Whys that? Hes done nothing wrong.

fendi · 25 Aug 2015 at 21:47

lol @ videoing the wrapping of an item. like that proves that is the package that is taken to the post office. taking a photo of the serial next to the buyers name is smart just for eBay's satisfaction.. but again i doubt it will help you against a charge back. eBay is great for buyers.. sellers not so much.

HPTL7 · 25 Aug 2015 at 21:50

Okay.
Can someone tell me what to do now?
As in what to say.
Thanks.

I've sold loads on ebay with no problems, but you only hear about the deals that go bad.

Yeah but the buyer sounds a bit dim and it could be on, just not showing anything on the display so sometimes a hard reset will only bring it back. I had that happen with the PS3 I sold on ebay, plugged it up to test and nothing, after a google I have to hard reset it and it then gave me a display.

How do you know he's the victim? It could have legitimately gotten damaged in the post. Why should the buyer be out of pocket because OP was too tight to spend an extra couple of £ insuring it properly?

Even if that isn't the case, why on earth would you post something worth £260 only covered for 10% of that?! :confused:
