E Bay buyers can be such sum

not enough I have had to do $2,500 in repairs, been cheated out $2,000. now I can add another $1,200 to that. I had a statue collectors wanted, been a while I , broke in shipping, or buyer wrote, who knows. he shipped to me ebay gave his money $1,200 with shipping, now statue just going to be too much to repair and I can't do it, not within my talents. Dude won't give me his email so I can do my claim at U PIC, if he
did I figure he wont agree when U PIC sent him the form.. Don't know why he is such a scum bag about emailed him a bunch, he just won't respond, ebay stated they can't do anything

Had a dude do this to me in 2015 was $580.00

Yeah I'm always wary of selling stuff cause of scams....

Try fb, and if you really are worried say local pickup only :<

I loathe using eBay with a passion. If possible just avoid it, especially if you are the seller. Buyer has all the protection in the world so if you're buying feel free.

yes ebay major stinks, I do have to say one thing is collectors have money there and like to use it. Can't say that on CF, SF, RS, FB, I offer I emailed U PIC they stated without the affidavit, they can't do anything

I've read and watched a lot of horror stories on forums and youtube but I have been lucky thus far with Ebay statue purchases dating back nearly 20-years.

I believe my earliest statue purchases were Edwards Scissorhands and Princess Mononoke items. Recently, I got the Basic Instinct (Blitzway) and Species statues that I missed out on. Been on the lookout for the Eva Green Artemisia 300 statue but cannot seem to find it listed for under a grand.

Dodged the ebay bullet thus far but I'm wary that one day it will come back to haunt me.

Ditto.never had a problem. But I usually only sell to buyers with a lot of positive feedback. And when I buy I give the seller a lot of info where he can go and check references.

been 2 months he hasen't responded to email, so I figure he just doing it be a scum, or he took my statue and gave me his, and that's why he dosent want to do the affidavit. should not have started collecting 15 years ago, that would have been awesome
