The saga continues...
I won an auction for a table top video game. The description stated, the item had minimal wear from use, overall excellent condition. When I received the item, there was a crack on the screen. So, I emailed the seller and told them I was unsatisfied with the item because the description was inaccurate. The seller tried to argue that the price he set should have indicated the condition, blah blah blah... After several emails, he finally agrees to accept the returned item. I ship it back to him, and he credits my Paypal account accordingly. That was two weeks ago. Today I receive an Unpaid Item Strike notice from ebay. Can you believe the nerve of some people. I haven't left feedback for this moron yet. I filed a dispute, and if eBay decides against me, I have no recourse, but to leave that negative for this moron. Unbelievable.

What nerve and it's also against eBay rules. What fraud, the item was paid for. I'd dispute it in a heartbeat AND leave negative feedback as well stating what he did. Did he leave feedback for you yet?

no, i do not believe so. I will have to check for sure, but I don't believe he left feedback. He is being a snake for sure.

I would email him first and see what his intentions are. It's quite possible he got screwed up with the new unpaid item system and intended to do a mutual agreement request for his fees back. It's hard to imagine him commiting such a blatant act of fraud which is guaranteed to get him suspended if you report it. I havn't used the new system yet, but on the old one there was a very specific warning about misuse of the npb process.

This also sounds like the seller having to deal with ebay's new screwed up NPB filing system. The old system you simply filed both agree not to complete the transaction and move on. Now, ebay encourages not to file that way unless you are 100% sure that the "buyer" will also accept the mutual terms. This smells not of fraud on the sellers part, but of circumstance because of ebay. And the victim in the are both the seller and buyer.
Ebay is lucky that they are the monopoly and can get away with that crap.
