TRUE....Thats exactly why I only really deal wit 2 ebay sellers....1 for New releases (which I rarely do/buy)/(And have his direct #)...The other for DS (which is what I mostly prefer)....! Try not to
360? shipped? i think it is worse than that now
How you get scammed though? Did you send money as a gift?
There are PLENTY of ways ppl will scam you. Sounds like he accepted multiple payments from multiple ppl for sneakers he doesn't even have
No I didn't, I was able to open a claim and I still have buyer protection and all. But he's doing it to a lot of people. I'm not really sure why, because anyone smart is just going to open a claim. Me and another NT'er already have that I know of. All bad. Money tied up until the 14th, at least. WHY IS FINDING A PAIR OF SHOES SO HARD THESE DAYS? Haha.
I thought through paypal, you're protected when they don't send you the item or sent you something else.
Ohh, thought he scammed people and somehow took their money too and no chance of you getting it back. It's definitely a hassle that wasn't needed though. It's probably people thinking they could make easy money or something.
You're still getting scammed. And yes you are "covered" but there's still that chance that you won't get your money back. Slim chance of it happening but still
how much did you pay for the kicks? If it was below market value you should have known better. Buying shoes for less then they are worth increases the chance of somebody trying to pull a fast one on you.
They're 250-300 consistent in my area on FB groups & CL.
mostly scammers or little kids who just put that price and then get people to bid against each other. In NYC, the biggest sneaker market in the world they're going for at least 350, if not more on the bigger sizes. No ones copping these to make just 50 on em, that's powder 10 status
I agree, but I would never do that unless they were my pairs or knew the guy personally. I'm not gonna vouch for a random cl guy because I'll be to blame(and deservedly so) if he were to scam, which is what happened here
No one is really copping em lol. But the market is different in Seattle than NY&LA. The market for shoes just isn't as big & stuff is hard to get, but I'm sure nothing like NY&LA,etc. Literally every GR that's not hyped out of their *** can be grabbed under retail or close to it for VNDS/NDS like a good 2-3weeks after release. Of course not everyone is selling them for that price, but there's always a good few people just wanting to unload their stuff and that's when I swoop in and get a steal.
yeah different markets have different prices. There are steals to be found but all I'm saying is generally the lower the price the more likelihood of you being scammed. If you pay top dollar chances of you being scammed are highly unlikely(still possible). You may receive a damaged box or some other issue but you being straight up scammed is way lower
Exactly. It's like seeing a pair of ROs for a 1000. 99.9999% chance it's a scammer
