Support NeoGAF

[bosseye]

Well done GAF and well done OP. Happy for you.

Genuinely nice to see (the majority) of GAF rallying around to fight this for the OP, I think that's lovely.

 

[PaulLFC]

Congrats! Happy to see this eventually got sorted out and you won't lose out.

 

[Symphonia]

Best suggestions should it come back as a working (albeit banned) machine

Agreed, it would be rather fitting given the time of the year.

 

[Mikeside]

I feel like the bad guy in this story is the idea of console banning, Sony seems to hand them out like crazy.

Also buyer sounds crazy too. The world today just nut.

Lol ok

 

[Nozem]

What a ride. Happy for you OP!

Also good job Mister Megative.

 

[Jameson]

This is Gaf at it best!

Congrats Gaf and OP.

 

[Vashetti]

OP updated with quick recap

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Congrats dude. Does this mean that the buyer is still getting charged for hid purchase then? I really hope so. Scheming little cunt. Well done though dude, and I'm glad ebay did the right thing.

 

[Weevilone]

So it get's send back to that idiot again, and he can use it for someone else? No m8

He's getting the money for the sale so he scores a console too? At very least ask EBay what to do with it.

 

[B1gg_Randall]

Congrats,Vashetti.

 

[Dzidza1978]

Congratulations,Vashetti and GAF.

 

[hetchi]

Congrats! Wow.

 

[Moonlight]

That eBay support rep sounds like a really cool person. Glad that things worked out, OP.

 

[dyergram]

Wow justice prevailed I would of had to send the buyer a message to mock him. Good job everyone!

 

[ramparter]

We should prepare a merry christmas card and send it to the buyer with a link to this thread!

This is great, I was really angry when I read they had sided with him.

 

[curiouscharles]

you're a legend OP.

now send the scammer a picture of your dick.

please?

 

[Hyun Sai]

Justice rains from Ebay !

Unexpected, but very nice nonetheless.

 

[PodcastFips]

Wait, a random Twitter person can reverse the whole claim process? Basically overrule without any further evidence?

Huh.

Reminds me so much of this

Huh.

Random Twitter person was a customer service rep, rather than an automated bot or a person reading from a list of bullet points. Bothered to take the time to properly review the case and possibly the buyers history and realised what was going down. They already had enough evidence to shut the case down, they just chose not to use it.

 

[gingerbeardman]

eBay rep for president!

Congrats OP

Happy days

 

[Wireframe]

Congrats on update 5 OP

 

[Bouniter]

Have been silently following this from the beginning fantastic news to see it all worked out for you OP and the buyer got what he deserved (I hope it gets pursued further though, to stop him hitting anyone else).

Congratulations OP and all of Gaf that helped/supported have a very relaxing and happy Christmas you deserve it.

 

[magawolaz]

Well done dude. Let us know what's inside the box lol

 

[liquidtmd]

Sees update 5

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!

Yay

Update 6

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

I'm hoping that this means the buyer has had to pay out for postage and won't be getting it back as no doubt he sent it recorded delivery for proof so that wouldn't have been cheap. Don't suppose you have a tracking number Vashetti? Maybe you could ask the guy for one lol

 

[Big Green Anus]

I'm so happy for you. I kept looking at this thread since it was even bothering me. That being said, I'm likely not going to sell anything via Ebay.

 

[liquidtmd]

Mods - we demand you force change 'Mister Megative' to 'Mister Positivity'

 

[Castef]

Refuse delivery and be done with it. It's almost certainly useless and you are whole without it.

But... but... if he does so... how will we ever know if the console inside the box is the banned one?

We've been schroedingered!!!

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Great conclusion. I learned a lot from this thread too so I consider this a success.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

This thread was a roller coaster. Glad it worked out OP

 

[Nightfall]

Wow, what a ride! Really glad it worked out for you OP!

 

[Blastoise]

Congrats OP. Hopefully you can finally enjoy the rest of the year.

 

[Anton668]

I wonder if ebay is taking the loss on this one just to make all partys happy or if they are indeed going to tell the buyer he's SOL with his complaint.

cuz unless the buyer(scammer) is out moneys it kinda feels like a hollow victory.

and is there anyway to tell either way?

 

[TBiddy]

Congrats OP!

 

[GeoNeo]

eBay are still scum only smart scum knowing that the biggest gaming forum was talking about 'em in a negative light.

Good shit twitter / GAF power

 

[LuvOfThaGame]

Awesome story with a great ending, OP. Glad you got it resolved.

 

[Firecrest]

Woah, congrats OP. A lot of us were expecting the worst.

I'm wondering what sort of response the scammer is going to send now.

 

[J4g3r]

Glad it see it all worked out for you, OP!

Now we wait.

 

[thenexus6]

Nice one OP!

Still curious to see what you receive back in the post, and I hope the buyer doesn't get off for what they did. Hopefully eBay will take action on their account.

 

[DarkJak101]

Congrats, OP! I've been following this thread for a while (in silence), and I'm so glad things got resolved justly. This thread really is a testament to GAF rallying together.

 

[Yjynx]

Congrats OP.

The buyer reply to you almost gives me a brain damage.

If you're on twitter, please retweet. I won't stand for this kind of shit.

The true hero of this thread!

 

[jett]

umm wow

The power of social media on display. Just make a scandal on twitter and shit will work out in your favor lol.

 

[flozuki]

Nice one and props to Mister Megative! This really makes me happy =)
Maybe now all of us should do the same with their ebay problems ;D

 

[LincolnSixEcho]

Once again, Gaf comes through for one of their own. Glad it worked out in the end. Merry Christmas!

 

[kami_sama]

Wow, OP that is great news. I think ebay knew the buyer was bulshitting, but ebay is clearly always in favor of the buyer, so they tried to screw you.

 

[RedAssedApe]

27 pages. This feels like a ot thread with the updates. The suspense

 

[Alpha_eX]

Really happy for you, OP, I've been checking often and hoping this would turn in your favour.

You won, don't worry about the box being sent to you or anything, just let it go back to the sender and show you are the better person.

Though, you could accept the box so the buyer doesn't have a broken PS4 to scam anyone else with but could lead to more hassle in the future.
