The good, the bad, the eBay

Re: The good, the bad, the eBay

The reason I buy and sell watches is because there is profit and the customer benefits. For example, I sold a stainless and unworn '02 model Submariner for $3400. That's $2100 less than a new model. Same goes for that Dynabrade. In the end, the customer saved $45 and recieved the same product.

I already contacted my bank and I am writing the dispute letter to get a chargeback.

Chris hope everything goes well brother.

One thing that I hate is someone stealing from me, I prefer giving away the money (it all really depends the amount, but you get the point) than someone taking it away from me.

In the long run, don't worry, something will happen to him in the future.

Good luck bro

Re: The good, the bad, the eBay

I wasnt disagreeing with that he is doing or saying it was wrong.. Its just not something I would do. Maybe if the said merchandise was altered in some way to make it better, than I could understand it. I personally do alot of work for people just because I know they are to ignorant to research it. I dont like taking advantage of people.

Dont want to ruffle anyones feathers though.

Ohh, I bought a cabin air filter and put it in for $40.

Well, the plot thickens...

I got a message from a Timezone member who said he paid top dollar for THE SAME watch. It was supposedly last year's model (Z serial), but it didn't have the papers. He was storing it and hadn't even opened it.

Just means more evidence for the PD!!!

Re: The good, the bad, the eBay

Ya know, I am SO done with the flipping business...

The deal with the scammer (gold and blue Submariner) is over - finally got the chargeback.

Now, I'm back to square one with the first submariner I bought - previous avatar pic.

I found out today that the case, caseback, dial, crown, bezel, and bracelect. BUT, the movement is fake. Fake movement = no value




Fortunately, the seller is cooperating. If not, I can always do a PayPal fraud claim OR a USPS fraud report.


From now on, I will not buy ANYTHING over $200 off eBay. Everyone I trusted when I bought these expensive items has frauded me in some way. Perfect feedback or no feedback, it doesn't matter.

Re: The good, the bad, the eBay

What an eye opener!

Thanks for sharing this experience with our forum, hopefully it will help others to make careful choices when buying sight-unseen objects of eBay.

Just for balance, we have now purchased to vehicles, off eBay, sight-unseen and been very happy with the purchases.

Always do everything you can to investigate and check out the items before clicking on the "Bid Now" button.

Bummer on the other watch. But look at all the sweet deals you got before on eBay.


Hey, I have a bridge I can give you a good deal on if your interested.

Sorry that wasn't uncalled for. But funny!

This one even fooled my ROLEX DEALER!!!!!!!!! They said it had to be real!!!!

Re: The good, the bad, the eBay

Glad to hear your recovering some of your loss, some people aren't so lucky. There's always risks involved (some huge) when flipping things for a profit, regardless of what it is being flipped.

With all the knockoffs/fakes/scams out there these days there are somethings you should just stay away from on Ebay as well as other on-line places.


It's hard to fake a 75 Chevy blazer though.....
