Item Never Received

Page 3: 4 Chinese Internet Scams to Avoid

A popular scam that some sellers deal with is the “item never received” scam. The buyer will pay for the

item, receive it with no problem, and then contact you saying they never received it. The scammer then

asks for a refund for the purchase price and the shipping. If you don’t comply, they may threaten to

leave you negative feedback, or file a dispute through PayPal or eBay.

How To Protect Yourself

Always, always, always get a tracking number for your packages, and require that there be signature

confirmation upon delivery. This may be frustrating for some of your buyers since someone has to be

home to sign for the package, or else pick it up from the post office at a later time

…but it will protect you from being scammed, and protect your buyers from having their packages

stolen. If a buyer tries to claim they did not receive their package, you merely have to forward the

signature confirmation to PayPal or eBay to prove that the buyer did, in fact, receive the package.

Wrong Item Received

Another popular scam involves the buyer claiming they received the wrong item. They offer to ship the

item back, but only after you either charge a full refund plus to a cost of additional shipping, or ship the correct item. When you refund their money or ship a new item, they never send the original item

back.

How To Protect Yourself

It’s not uncommon for sellers to accidentally put the wrong item in the package, especially when they have a house full of kids distracting them. You can’t protect yourself 100% against human error, but you can check

and recheck your packages and addresses before sealing them up.

If a buyer claims that they received the wrong item, always require them to return the item first before you will process a refund or send a new item. This

way, you have the original item in hand beforehand, effectively protecting yourself from being scammed.

There are many other scams that sellers can find themselves the victims of, as well. Remember always

to be alert, especially when something sounds suspicious. Check your bidders’ feedback;

if instances of scams pop up in their feedback, you have every right to cancel their bid and protect

yourself from being the next victim. You can’t afford the time and money that goes into correcting the damage from a scam, so protect yourself before it

happens!
