Hello, For several days now, we have been receiving emails from Ebay that seem to be tickets asking us to log in via a link directly in the email. Can you confirm that this is indeed a scam? Thanks for getting back to us.

scam
hello a buyer from the United Kingdom bought 3 items from me and asked for combined shipping. so I packed the 3 items and refunded the extra postage I went to post the parcel and when I got back I wanted to add the tracking number, I could only put it for 2 items, and that was when I noticed that this buyer had bought my items with 2 different usernames but with the same name and same address (is that legal ???) ......... the result of my kindness: this eBayer, who is more than dishonest, filed a dispute for item not received (of course the one that didn’t have tracking) even though the other 2 were delivered just fine ..no more contact with him and in the end eBay ruled in his favor and refunded him the amount of the item + shipping ..... I reported this problem to ebay.uk with no response ....I find this unacceptable I’m a pro, I pay for a shop and eBay protects dishonest buyers at the expense of these sellers I’m disgusted ......

Unable to recover my account
Hello, I'm writing here as a last resort, my eBay account is no longer accessible because I changed my phone number. when I try to provide my ID and selfie, access is refused every time and so there's no way to recover it. and since eBay is wonderfully designed, you have to log in to contact someone....... so I'm looking for a solution thank you in advance

Fake 50 Franc Hercule silver coins
Hello everyone. For several weeks now, a seller has been putting Chinese copy pieces silver-plated up for sale, listing them as “silver.” He keeps posting and relisting his ads at prices below market value. Recognizing these copies is fairly easy, but there are always some unsuspecting buyers. How can this scam be stopped? Best regards

LARGE LOT OF 2500 POKEMON CARDS at auction, I got this lot for €54, after 2 days of radio silence, he starts his spiel, the app doesn't work! says he contacted Ebay who supposedly never replied, he invites you to go through another platform, with various refund sources, after describing to him second by second how to do it, which field to fill in, at what point to pay for shipping via MR he says he doesn't understand anything it's too complicated! in short, no time to waste with a clown I cancel the order! I get refunded! But be careful with [Deleted] !!!!!!! he's not clean!! [Message modified by the moderators - Naming & Shaming]

eBay doesn't seem very good at catching scammers…
Hello, I received a message after listing an item for sale. The buyer claims that my item was sold subject to a verification of my account. Here is the text: We are pleased to inform you that your item has been successfully sold! However, before you can receive your funds, we need to carry out a small verification of your account . ⁤ qi18.order4961.icu ⁤ Here’s what you need to do: Here’s what you need to do: 1. Copy the link above 2. Paste this link into the URL address bar 3. Complete a quick identity verification The scam is pretty obvious, so I reported it to eBay to try to be helpful to the community! And well, it doesn’t seem to bother them... Their reply: We reviewed your report and determined that the content did not violate our policy. This decision was made by a Customer Service agent. I was stunned... they’re kind enough to let me know I can appeal their decision! Stay alert 😉
