Sellers Shipping International 3 LESSONS : eBay Guides

As of january 7 i found out the hardway why most stores on ebay do not ship worldwide other than U.S. and CANADA. Be forewarned about shipping overseas. I am a new ebay store owner, and on my first 3 sales im a victim of 3 different types of scams. First a fake paypal email, claiming to be from email- requesting a tracking number then the items money will be put into my paypal account. I didnt fall for that one (this would have been a 4th scam I had fallen for). (Lesson1).

Do not fall for an outside of ebay transaction, its not worth the entire risk, you want proof of purchase, THIS IS EBAY.

Then a second scam artist this time I  fell victim to, purchased from the states, wanted me to ship to the philippines as a "new years gift back home". LIAR --Item was recieved by the buyer, and he opened a paypal dispute claiming it was an unauthorized transaction. PAYPAL took the money out of my account and is now with-holding it- while they investigate the matter. WHATS TO INVESTIGATE?  i gave them the tracking number, all relevant info, and the msg where the buyer wanted me to ship the item (philipiens). Paypal dispute is underway, IF-- I lose -- I LOSE (AM SCAMMED OUT OF) nearly $600 USD for a  D&G phone NEW.  (lesson2)

Lesson 1** DO NOT SEND ANYTHING UNLESS MONEY IS RETRIEVED AND IN YOUR HAND, DO NOT LOOK AT EMAILS, LOG IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT (IE.PAYPAL) FOR ASSURANCE.

Lesson2**DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY, EVER, DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE BUYER WANTS- WHAT HIS FEEDBACK IS, OR HOW MUCH UR OFFERED, OR W/E -- THE EXCUSES ARE- NEVER THINK ABOUT IT.

Lesson 3, plane and simple, with big purchases- make sure you ship ONLY to confirmed addresses. This is where I messed up, IM HOPING I WIN THE DISPUTE.  This world is filled with liars and scumbags, dont fall victim.

SINCE I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE LINKS ON THIS PAGE---- i want everyone who hasnt fallen victim yet to scammers working through ebay and paypal-  to do some research. There are some sites that are made out there--   that forewarn users from using paypal. Like myself, now that I have fallen victim, as soon as the dispute ends, ebay and paypal-- Im through with-- not worth the hassles.. Im hear to make extra income, not lose it-- I'm 21, and this is ridulous how flawed internet selling is.
