LiK · Mar 25, 2017

I'm laughing so hard. Did he get a refund?

Rip · Mar 25, 2017

that is hilarious. hah

x24hrs2livex · Mar 25, 2017

Saw this on Twitter last night aND thought the buyer got a great deal. He is just paying for the Yezzy name.

dallow_bg · Mar 25, 2017

I'm really glad I had to clink a link to see what he got. The surprise got me. LOL.
EDIT: fixed now, still good

DrFunk · Mar 25, 2017

No clue. Hopefully.

The Cowboy · Mar 25, 2017

And i thought it was bad when i paid £110 for fake Nike Foamposite's (luckily got a refund).

$700!!! Even if they were real, that's insane.

Yeah, feedback is super important on eBay.

Most likely.

Ebay has near 0 seller protection.

People have legit filmed themselves packing, and putting a laptop in an unopenable blue collection bin for packages only for the buyer to say they were sent a broken laptop/rocks/nothing.

Ebay/paypal don't give a fuck about anything besides their cut.

I've thrown stuff I could sell on ebay into electronics recycling just to avoid touching ebay ever again.

Ikuu · Mar 25, 2017

They cost $2k DS so I'm not sure what he was expecting lol

Tertullian · Mar 25, 2017

Buying ultra-luxury shoes off eBay and expecting to get anything but knock-offs sounds like a dreadful idea 100% of the time.

FeenixRising · Mar 25, 2017

FZZ get his money back?

Armaly · Mar 25, 2017

Hope he gets his money back.

Stinkles · Mar 25, 2017

Did I just see myself die of lol?

Anth0ny · Mar 25, 2017

lmao

never buy sneakers off ebay. come on son.

BumRush · Mar 25, 2017

Crying. I love that he put them on.

Kayhan · Mar 25, 2017

Well he definitely got Yezzy's.

Yaboosh · Mar 25, 2017

Those are awesome knockoffs.

The Wraith · Mar 25, 2017

One of the funniest knock offs of all time. I'm literally in tears.

CadetMahoney · Mar 25, 2017

It wouldn't surprise me if there's so much more money in retailers and bulk Chinese sellers trading through ebay rather than average citizens trying to get rid of some second hand stuff everyone is wary of pulling the trigger on.

That's my guess anyway.

For selling - I've given up selling anything. Too much hassle for too little return. I've got items that work but just in storage because I can't be bothered to to use Ebay.

For buying - Ebay is my last resort after having checked Amazon and other places and Ebay use is limited to small value items. Not ebcause I'm afraid of getting ripped off, but because I don't like them.

Cipherr · Mar 25, 2017

Possumowner · Mar 25, 2017

Honestly can't stop laughing 😂🤣

NastyBook · Mar 25, 2017

That's why you do local deals. I just sold my camera and two lenses to a huge bearded fucker to buy a better one, all locally, no issues. Also got my laptop that way, and textbooks for class, a webcam, sold a Fiio player, gonna get a CF reader... Fuck eBay. Last time I bough a lens there I ended up paying 80 in fees. (Was my fault too, tbh)

reKon · Mar 25, 2017

i'm crying lmao

Baroquemantic · Mar 25, 2017

Oh man, I'm weak. That's hilarious.

FromAtoX · Mar 25, 2017

Lol! Maybe he ordered the wrong size?

PastorOfMuppets · Mar 25, 2017

I don't even know why you would even try to run this sort of scam on eBay. Ebay takes the buyer's side literally 100% of the time and since Paypal is the only way to get your money, they can just take it back before you do anything.

backflip10019 · Mar 25, 2017

That's like the time one of my college roommates ordered 2 pairs of size 10 cleats. He thought he was getting a killer deal because they were $10 each. He received them in the mail and they were baby sized. Hardest I've ever laughed in my life.

_Nemo · Mar 25, 2017

Fucking lol

Sorry, 2000 bucks?! Why? I would never pay that much for shoes, but if I did I would buy something like ultra rare chocolate kangaroo leather shoes or something. Not some cheap ass looking fluffy sneakers.

FairyD · Mar 25, 2017

I haven't laughed this hard Ina long time. God damn I'm fucking dying here.

lem0n · Mar 25, 2017

Hahahahhahahaah omg its like someone described them over the phone

dankir · Mar 25, 2017

Well obviously hell get his money back and Ebay will freeze the seller account if he used PayPal of course.

D4Danger · Mar 25, 2017

they're too good so I think in about two weeks you're going to find out the guy makes these and this is a bs story.

Count Dookkake · Mar 25, 2017

Upgrade.

GKSilKamina · Mar 25, 2017

Shit, those are adorable. Drop the price to $20 and I might buy them.

The Artisan · Mar 25, 2017

h&m is sold out of all XO shit so now I gotta shop for em extra expensive on ebay.

Kevin · Mar 25, 2017

I stopped ordering from ebay years ago for this very reason. I swear there are more scams on there then legitimate products. I've gotten ripped of plenty of times back in the day to just say forget it.

MomoPufflet · Mar 25, 2017

1. You don't need to be brave to buy on eBay, you need to spend all of 15 seconds checking feedback and listening to your gut. The seller likely had very obviously nonexistent or shitty feedback and the buyer ignored clear warning signs because he wanted an easy deal.

2. Buyers always win disputes even when they're completely wrong or careless. I would bet my life he got his money back within a week.

3. You need to be much more worried about scammers on eBay as a seller. Buyers can file fake claims and scam the shit out of you for hundreds or even thousands of dollars with almost no effort.
