Please block eBay buyer 4umyluv ( scammer beware)

Well I figured I'd give you a heads up. This buyer ( 4umyluv) wanted a sideshow magneto comiquette off me. I had it listed at $400. He said he would offer $300. I told him the lowest I could go was $350. He agreed. On December 17 he buys it and I send it out ( USPS tracking number 23100740000004210602) .On december 20 I receive an email from him telling me that there is a problem with it. He says that the statue is in good shape except for some small chips and problems with the statue and to email him to resolve this situation. I know there is no problems in fact you can tell from pic I listed that the statue is fine. I tell him he can have a partial refund of $30 or he can return the statue for a full refund. He responds and says he wants $50 and if he receives that we will be good. I agree because I don't feel like taking a loss on shipping . I refund him his $50. He leaves me feedback and I reluctantly leave him feedback. Then today he emails me today( January 3) saying he found more problems with the statue and that he wants his money back. He now claims the box is beat up ( which it wasn't when I sent it two weeks ago) He also claims the statue is worth half as much due to a bunch of new problems he just found with the statue. He wants me to pay for his return shipping and refund the whole amount to him. Got to love eBay . I bet Paypal sides with him.

His name is 4umyluv

Judging by his eBay ID he's definitely not the type of buyers you'd want to deal with

Hope your parcel is insured bro.

It was insured . But he accepted the $50 partial refund two weeks ago for the statue. Now he changed his mind and wants to return it. I can't get money from the post office for buyers remorse...

Blocked. Thanks.

That sucks. Looking at the buyers history it looks like he's been going on a statue buying frenzy for the past few months.

Yeah that's why I came on here to warn you. I don't like scammers and would hate for anyone to have to deal with this...

OK so to review, ... block buyer Underdog07. Got it thanks!

Has he gotten good feedback from the other buyers? Just wondering if he has pulled the same crap with any of them.

That sucks to hear. I have had this happen to me as well. I see the buyer sells alot of collectibles too. The situation I was in was that I believe the buyer just used my statue to replace his damaged one.

I sold a Harry Potter dragon statue from gentle giant. I know it was perfect when I sent it. The buyer said the wings were broken off when he got it so he returned it. Not two weeks later I saw he was selling an HP dragon statue.

What I believe happened is he broke his statue. Bought mine to replace it. Because the statue comes off the base he just kept the dragon and sent his broken one back to me. Since only the base is numbered there was no way for me to prove that because the numbered base I got back was the one I had listed.
