Scammer buyer ATTENTION!!!
Summary: The discussion concerns a warning about a scam buyer. However, the specific details of the discussion are not included in the available posts.
Good morning everyone,
on November 19, 2024 I sold a German helmet for the sum of 206 euros, shipping included. After the item was paid for, I shipped it abroad (Spain).
On November 22, 2024 the item was reported lost at the international processing center in Milan. After about a month, in December 2024, and after the buyer opened a dispute, I was forced to fully refund the amount (losing both the item and the profit).
Yesterday, 28/04/2025, I noticed that the user who had bought my item was magically selling it (so it had been delivered to him).
I asked eBay for help but the response was vague and not very satisfactory, and after contacting the scammer I will also go to a Carabinieri or Postal Police station to file a formal complaint against the buyer.
Has anyone had similar experiences and if so, how did you solve it?
P.S.: for those who are wondering, YES the item was mine because inside it there is the name of the soldier who wore it and I still keep the photos from my sale.
Thanks to anyone who can help me

Mentore1 year agoIf the item was found to be lost, there was an obligation to reimburse.
The only thing you could do today is file a report for misappropriation, although I doubt it could have even the slightest effect in another country.

OP1 year agoThanks for the quick reply,
I forgot to mention that the buyer is in Italy; in fact, the items he sells come from Catania.
Anyway, I will accept your advice. Thanks
