They said:, that unless he admits that he forced the spacebar off with a knife, etc, they cant do anything...priceless!
Other one was someone bought a iphone from me, claimed it didnt work and when they sent it back, it was a sim card only, not the phone, i had to send pics of his package to ebay and have a notarized document stating this was returned to me... He had a two rating, but I was the one that had to proof he was lying..
Yes, no other alternatives besides OfferUp or marketplace, but its just as bad, post a laptop and 100 people want it, but then its no shows, flakes, 1/2 price low ball offers...
But yes I still do it, most of the time its fine, its just you get some crazies that are newbies that try and scam/cheat the system.
It doesn't matter how big your rating is, or how many years you have been and of course you can't leave negative feedback to buyers for years now, nice right?..
