Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.
by Bellol Tue Sep 15, 2015 3:44 pm
I agreed to list some items on EBay for somebody. He had some expensive jewellery items and needed somebody with a selling record on EBay to list them for him. A pair of earrings sold for £2,500 and the buyer sent the money to my PayPal account. The buyer then started to say that the guy was a scammer and he had copied the photos and listing description from another Ebay listing. She said she wanted proper photos of the earrings or a refund. I asked the guy (Simon) and he told me the earrings were already shipped. He sent a tracking number for the website: intfrefor.com which I then sent on the buyer.
She began saying that the website is fake and that he created a fake tracking number with fake information. I'm not sure what to do. I haven't sent him the money from the sale yet. I'm worried that if I do and the earrings turn out to be fake I will have the refund the buyer myself and I don't have the money for that.

Can somebody please help me? I really don't know what to do - I'm not sure if the buyer is overreacting or if this guy is a scammer.

It is a scam.

Do not send the money.

Contact Paypal and get advice.

Never list for someone you do not know and have the item in hand.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
