Yeah so I'm just sitting here smoking selling something on ebay and I think I just noticed a possible ebay scam...
Ok so my thought is you can abuse the shit out of auctions with return this item option. Buy an item, for any price really, doesn't matter if you overpay, and get it shipped to your house (or for safety, somewhere else). Take the item out of the box and file a return for the item. Get your money back and send him an empty box and enjoy your free item :)
Things to think about -
*This works if you get your money back either before you provide the tracking number to ship it back or any time before the seller actually gets the box back. If you get your money back after he gets his item you're fucked.
*If you ever get confronted by anyone, including questions from the seller, just deny it up and down. There's no proof he isn't pulling the scam you just tried. You could even try to accuse him of trying to frame you or demanding your money for a product you sent back.
Yeah so... Thoughts?
