Can't emphasise this enough. Between ebay and paypal you have no chance. If they rule in the buyer's favour, which they will do, you will have the money taken from you.

I am intrigued in the outcome
No you don't. They might put your account into negative balance, but you are not obliged to reimburse PayPal or eBay for that.
Have you cleared your paypal account out and cancelled your paypal direct debit with your bank?

I sold my four graphics cards on Sunday (HD 7990, R9 Fury Nitro, R9 290X and GTX 690) and listed them with those three conditions:
All this to distract potential fraudsters. I still had a lot of bidders from abroad with ZERO or ONE feedback. I was permanently cancelling their bids and blocked them eventually.
- UK only bidders
- must have 100% positive feedback
- must have at least 25 counts of feedback

eBay has gone down hill recently with the basics.
Just this week even though I selected ship to UK only a bidder from abroad managed to win the item which just isn't worth the hassle of shipping especially with electronics.

if I ever use that place to sell, I always list the item as cash on collection only and invite people to view the item working before they pay/take it
cuts out the scammers pretty quickly

They do but their prices will be rubbish as they dont care what model of a card it is, so they'll give you the same for a kingpin as they would for a plastic reference card

I would never invite anybody to my house to see my PC and stuff, can't trust people nowadays.

So you'd rather post it to them at your cost, have them return it at your cost and them get a full refund when they wreck a hundred plus pound item?
Or just never sell items 2nd hand at all then?

My mate sold a PS4 via fleabay and the buyer reported it as faulty and returned it to him, only for my mate to discover it was a different PS4. A faulty one.
But fleabay took the buyers side and my mate was out of pocket, and a PS4 down.
Would never use it, have used gumtree for a few bits and bobs, but Facebook sellers page is not bad for selling stuff.

People buying mining-related hardware are probably more likely to try and scam, because it's an odd situation where even the buyer is already in a money-making mindset.

Those programs are always blown way out of proportion for the drama, I work for a charity on eBay and the main scam I see going on is people demanding money back after a purchase or they will leave us negative feedback.

Yes agree with you there news or TV do tend to hype things up....And as you work for a charity selling on ebay i find it even more disgusting that peeps would even try to scam from a charity just low ...
but that program was mainly about a large organized gang using ebay/PP to scam people ...
then we have the peeps that have a faulty good to begin with buy a working one of the same on ebay then return the broken back to the seller and be protected via pay-pal system ....I mean 180 days if its still is that which paypal cover you so you could in effect buy a 2nd hand laptop use and abuse for 179 days and then open a case to say its blown up and the chances are you would get your money back ...that's just plain wrong where talking about 2nd hand goods here ...not even an online retailer give over 30 days for there b stock ect ....

Not that bad, could be much worse from what I see on TV but I just don't like the idea of complete strangers being in my house.
