Been scammed (via fake "not as described") on eBay - want to cry

I've had a really good run so it was only fair I'd get a scammer.

I don't accept returns. Clearly stated in the listing. Having receive the item he has decided he spent too much (he literally said that in his messages) so has opened a "not as described". eBay have sided with him despite my repeated calls to them pointing out his "complaint" actually matches the description, as do his pictures.

I am so so so so angry I literally want to cry.

I have lost out on postage and because of a fuck up with a return address I now need to pay out of pocket for the return too.

I fully plan on getting revenge by:

a) Buying one of the items he is currently selling and doing exactly the same to him

and

b) Telling him I plan to inform his employer - a financial company (which is where his listed address is) - that they are hiring a scammer.

I think the way eBay lets scammers operate is an absolute disgrace.

If an eBay seller messaged me to tell me they are going to contact my employer and tell them I am a scammer to try get me sacked if call the police and give them the messages!

Op you are completely overreacting. I've bought and sold 1000's on eBay in the last 15 years.

How much for the t-shirt?
Get perspective. Let it go.

Buying with an intent to leave bad feedback for a seller is also not allowed btw.

As to informing their employer - you need a word with yourself. How utterly ridiculous! I hope you get a big fat neg for this as you are clearly a dreadful eBay seller.

You should learn this lesson and prevent this happening again but not to plan a revenge.
