in-person scam
Summary: sopbasc_40 explains that they were scammed while buying a digital item on Roblox via eBay, where the seller had chosen in-person pickup as the delivery option. After providing a QR code and realizing that the seller was trying to get them banned, sopbasc_40 got blocked and did not receive the item. koalagris says the issue needs to be handled on eBay.com, and *miss-tigri* confirms that the communication there must be in English.
the seller has home delivery as a delivery option, that said it’s a digital item (more specifically on Roblox)
I buy the item and contact him (the delivery should happen virtually, we don’t meet) he tells me he wants the QR code first, I tell him no because I can’t make sure he’ll deliver afterward and after a few minutes of insisting I give in and join him in the game to see if he really has the item he really did have it and he tries once to get me banned from Roblox by telling me to say hi 10 times (that lets him ban me from Roblox if I had done it) I refuse and tell him to give me the item since I sent the code then he tells me to take it but the moment I start bringing it back to my base he blocks me before the item can come back to me so I get kicked from his server I come back empty-handed and he still has my paid item because of this situation I would really like a refund because this seller scammed me
please help me

You ALWAYS depend on ebay.com
(here it's ebay.fr... as already explained)
All that for €4.
