How can sellers safely sell evouchers on eBAY? I thought the eBAY platform was a "bulletproof" one for selling items but unfortunately in my case their system has been exploited by a con buyer.
I narrowly lost everything after the sale (the buyer got his/her money back from Paypal after filing a false "unauthorised transaction" and the code I sold him/her). I was lucky enough that Amazon refunded the entire value of the voucher to my Amazon account but I might not be so lucky next time.
Any advice?
" I might not be so lucky next time."
As said you cannt sell them, so there should be no next time.
Lucky? Obviously you have not been hit with the £14 fee yet for losing the case.
£14"? It isn't an item "not as described"...it is indeed an item as described. I think that when you ask ebay permission to sell something on their platform and they tell you "yes you can" ....you can indeed list it. I am not starting an argument, I am just telling you that I explored my options before listing it. Regarding the £14 fee you mentioned @plpmr, I found an article that touches what you mentioned (https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/oct/16/paypal-ebay-fraud-chargeback-seller-protection) but it isn't my case.
Since only physical vouchers are allowed in theory (according to this guideline Vouchers policy | eBay), I think printing them in order to have them shipped to the buyer might be the only option...
