Buyer claimed a charge back on a purchase he had made a few weeks back.

This came out of nowhere has he was happy with the items and posted a positive
review.
Following the claim I contacted him and was told that it was a mistake on his
part and that I should dispute the claim. I did and lost.

This whole process was through stripes.

My question is there anyway I can report this buyer for doing this ? This was
a pretty significant order as well in terms of price.

As well any tips from experienced sellers on how to avoid such situations in
the future.

Thanks

The buyer told you to dispute the claim, instead of simply dropping it himself?

Yes, weird.

I was told that "I have tried to change the dispute on that saying I did get
the item, but I can’t seem to find it." and that I should "Go ahead and dispute
the claim, I won’t fight it. Sorry for the inconvenience".

This came from the buyer. I did dispute it and submitted evidence and still lost.

Ask them to pay again. If they refuse, then leave negative feedback saying "RECEIVED
ORDER THEN FILED A CHARGEBACK" using the all caps. At least other sellers will
be warned about his behaviour if they check the feedback.

Apart being in sea shells, I don't see any way.


I'd be you I'd:

* first ask the buyer to pay again - if he's a gentleman he'll do

* if he doesn't call/message/chat with Stripe and talk with them

* maybe try to ask BrickLink help to set this as Not Paid, so you could at least
start NPB?

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice I will try to ask him and see his reply and if he does
not reply I will go through with asking BrickLink help.

Sadly stripe is a dead end since they are not in charge of the final decision
for the dispute (the bank of the claimant is).

It seems highly unlikely that a buyer would do this "by Mistake" especially since
he did not offer to help reverse the reversal, or to re-pay you for the Lego
he received.

I had a situation somewhat similar. Turned out the buyer was underage and using
his parents' credit card without permission. It was the parents who did the
chargeback. I did fight that and won, but it took forever.

If you don't get satisfaction from this buyer you should ensure you leave
detailed and appropriate feedback about a buyer who ripped you off, in order
to warn other sellers. Also, you should let people here know a buyer they may
wish to avoid so they are not also defrauded.
