GOAT soundtrack and it was such a leap forward for first person shooters. Also the shambler pet hack (where you had your own shambler buddy to help you) was so much fun.

I used to work for Ebay.

OP I'm sorry but you are probably shit outta luck. Unless you want to take him to small claims court, or file a police report, you can't really do anything.

1. Ebay, Paypal, Amazon, all of these companies are 99% behind buyers in any type of transaction dispute.

2. I am not sure what the Amazon time frame is, but If the buyer makes a complaint within SIX MONTHS of buying the item - ebay/paypal will then open a claim.

3. If you sell with ebay/paypal, you almost always have to offer returns. Unless it is a broken item listed AS IS or FOR PARTS, the buyer can request a refund no matter what. Your no refund policy means nothing when you use these services.

4. Depending on the situation, the buyer usually has to send the item back. This is often at the cost of the seller and often times it makes no sense for the seller to cover the cost of shipping so they just let the buyer keep the item (and lose the money they sold the item for). Asshole buyers count on this and unless they are brand new to ebay/paypal and/or have done this shit before, there is nothing you can do about it.

5. In this case, the buyer sent you a brick - this term used for a false item that weighs the same. You can call Ebay and complain but the best they will probably do is give you half the cost of the item back - and that is only for the top 10% of sellers. You can try small claims or even file a police report, but if it is in another state it's wasted energy and time.

6. Don't do anything stupid to dox the buyer because they have your info as well. They could easily get your Ebay account suspended for retaliatory actions and could just as easily dox your info. It isn't worth it, trust me.

7. What did you sell and what did you get, I'm curious?

Anytime you use paypal, ebay, amazon, you are always at risk as a seller.
