All of my buyers have been fake accounts or sca

All of my buyers have been fake accounts or scams, using fake PayPal emails, wanting it shipped before any money was exchanged, others not even talking accounts made the same day they buy the item just to raise my fees I guess.

Now I have $300 dollars in fees with no sales and I have no idea what to do! I am still somewhat new to Ebay and I relisted a few items right away as I found out a few that talked where scamming me, explaining why it's so much money.

I'v made a report on all of them but since I already relisted them is it to late to wave the fees?
 I thought that was the purpose of reporting them but reading the rules closer it seems Ebay wants you to wait till the person buying your item or scamming you agrees to canceling or X amount of days before making a claim then relisting, which makes me wonder.. Why doesn't everyone make fake accounts to buy out their competitors so they have the lowest price since that's such a cheap rule.  Relisting shouldn't cost you if they don't pay.


Every day I re-read the rules trying to figure it out and waiting to see if my fees drop, any help from anyone with experience with this would be appreciated greatly!

eBay is a minefield. All too frequently new sellers in high-risk, scam-magnet categories (phones, laptops, consoles, etc) come in here asking what to do after they've shipped to a scammer. You're amazingly lucky you've not actually lost any of your items.

Even after one sells and ships an item, one can still get scammed...

Never, never, rely on email notifications for anything important. If you clicked-through any links in of the fake PayPal emails you mention receiving, change your eBay and PayPal passwords immediately. Always log into PayPal (typing in the web address manually or from bookmark) to view payments.

Only ship to the address shown in PayPal - it should say "Seller Protection - Eligible". Do not ship it anywhere else. If you print the shipping label through eBay Shipping, it will automatically import the mailing address. It's a cinch. No shipping labels needed (you should use labels, but don't have to; Avery 5126 or Uline 5044 work well) - you can print onto regular paper, cut to size, and tape on box (don't tape over barcode).

Mail items (double-box game consoles and other fragile items for protection) USPS with on-line viewable tracking. Based on the size and weight of your items, use Priority Mail most of the time - it automatically includes the type of tracking eBay / PayPal requires, and will arrive in a reasonable time-frame. Do not ship international (I see you don't, which is good).

As for listing locally, such as on C-List - that can be simplier and more profitable, but comes with risk of physical harm. It's a tradeoff.
