@bartsw Not the same room but look at the rug. The photos were probably older when they were in a different room for staging. I actually had this happen a week ago. A scammer wanted me to take custom photos. Also these were listed for 4.5k. Median sale price for a used pair is 25k. |
@enriched_stardust I saw the rug. I would lean on something suspicious. But it's possible the pictures were legit and retaken elsewhere or taken before the sale. In any case, given they were sold, we would likely not see that rug again from the current owner. So yes overall fishy. |
You know the real seller with that rug is pretty active. btw, I've learned something extremely important; DO NOT use UPS. The scammer can send a letter to a random address and show it was DELIVERED. UPS does not share the from/to addresses you need to prove the item was not delivered to YOU and YOUR ADDRESS. You need to fight them hard to give you a letter stating such evidence without providing names and addresses. 99% of the time you get someone from India who doesn't do crap but say sorry he/she can't help you. Your credit card issuer needs this proof. Even if you have 3 decades of 100% feedback, ebay will still protect the new seller account with a couple fake or automatic feedbacks.
Also if you bought from ebay and it has the Money Back Guaranteed, you are screwed. ebay allows the seller to circumvent the stated shipping method in the listing even when it's against their written policy. So if you chose USPS or FedEx and the scammer knows UPS protects scammers, the scammer will go outside of the listing and your selection and use UPS. |
