Wow, I almost got scammed on ebay.

Put up an auction for a baby monitor that ended with no bids, someone pm'd me saying put it up again, so I did. They bought it. Told me a sad story about the payment. Finally took a week to get paid. Sent it , but had a spidey sense of doing the signature confirmation. They received it on the 19. The 20th they file a case saying they did not receive it. Talked to ebay, they closed the case in my favor because of signature confirmation.

Take that mr (3) feedback rating!

Good on the spidey sense.. People are such dirtbags...

I have concluded, if I am to sell on ebay, signature confirmation is a given now. No more selling small things because of the cost of shipping.

I hear you there. With shipping and the multiple fees, it's not worth it to sell cheap little items anymore. I also get signature confirmation on anything over $50.00 now. I am at a point where I would rather take less to sell on forums and other places to trusted members, than to take a chance with some of these ebay scammers.

I'm pretty sure ebay will side with the seller as long as you have tracking showing delivered for any item less than $250. If it is more, it requires a signature. I don't think buyers can claim item not received as long as the tracking shows delivered to the correct zip code.
