So the obligatory it wasn't today but over the weekend. This was my first time selling on eBay and I thought I'd have more sense than I exhibited...
I was looking to sell an old laptop I had for a couple hundred bucks and had cross posted it on multiple places (FB Marketplace, OfferUp, eBay, etc.) Was just chilling and waiting when I get a message from someone who seemed legit in that they had a name for their profile, email matched the name, and they had reviews on their profile about them buying and selling things. Long story short, we had messaged back and forth about price, agreed on a price and I went to mail the package fully expecting the money money be in my account like was agreed. Mailed it and gave the confirmation code, the person said everything looked good ajd then ghosted...I never got the money...contacted UPS to see if they could stop shipment and went to report the guy on eBay with no luck there either...
For future knowledge, always make sure you have the money before sending the product...man am I dumb...
TL;DR I'm dumb and fell for what I imagine is the oldest online scam in the book
