That is one of the things that concerned me the most. I am always willing to work with a buyer in any way to keep them happy. I also know I'm honest and ship immediately. But it seems like the buyer protection is considerably better then the seller protection. Going through the horror stories, a growing number of them are sellers.

Make buyer sign for delivery.

I got mixed up in a new scam of sorts on ebay this week.

I bought a Porsche Euro DVD for our 911. I did a "buy now" and then the seller emails me that the DVD is a copy and not to give him negative or neutral feedback if I take the DVD. He would give me a refund immediately and cancel the auction... I guess that is OK, but... I did not get his email until I got the DVD's and gave him negative feedback. Nowhere in the listing does this say it's a pirated copy.

Basically, he cancelled the transaction and he is refunding my money. When I open the package and saw homemade copies, I was livid. He said, "what do you expect for $70?"
