Charging back thousands of dollars in orders 14 days after the transaction was
made.

Mine was 400+. Others I've spoke to are 500, 600 and well over 1000.

Thanks, I posted as well. Not sure if I was allowed to drop the username. Mine
was about $400. I have reached out to mailing address asking for my package to
be returned if possible.

I also could not find a way to directly report the member to bricklink as the
user agreement thingy said don't report "suspected scams" without
evidence and it doesn't clarify what that evidence would be so I just messaged
the help desk. So if you know any other way to report them please do.

I don't think you can report anything.
I spoke to the buyer and they claim PayPal did it because it's a new account.
What I've seen doesn't quite back that up. They will lose the claims.
Just a waste of time

Even watching from the sidelines, this is painful to watch. I sincerely feel
for those affected.

Hopefully you will be leaving them a negative feedback. This way those who wish
can know who to block from their stores.

This buyer filed a case against us over the weekend from an order placed on the
16th. Buyer did not reach out before hand. We have proof of delivery and this
looks a little scammy since ours was not an isolated situation.

To anyone who is affected by this, here's the solution:
Please call the number on the order page- it is a freight forward company, they
are currently holding onto all packages sent to this account in the past month,
the owner said that they have spoken to the customer who explained this was an
error that they are working to fix.
In the meantime, the FF company is holding onto all the items until the issue
is resolved.
I tend to be optimistic that this is a misunderstanding that the buyer is working
on fixing but if it does turn out to be a scam then the FF company at the very
least will be able to accept shipping labels to return the orders back to you
so worst case you'll be out some shipping costs- small cost for orders this
size.
Reach out to the number on the order page, the owner will be helpful- The names
on the order page is of two of their employees so they they don't want their
facility to have a reputation as an operation that helps facilitate fraud.
Good luck to all,
To keep you optimistic I'd say that after sending over 50,000 orders across
multiple platform- we have yet to have a time where we've lost money when
a buyer claimed misuse or stolen credit card- it always got resolved by paypal
or other online marketplaces that have seller protection policies.
Best wishes,
THB.

Great info. Good to see freight forwarders doing this.

I called the number and he denied they are holding any packages. They will not
give any information and doing all they can to cover for the scammer, unless
he is the scammer.

Update from PayPal,

"After our efforts to resolve this dispute on your behalf, your buyer’s financial
institution decided in the buyer’s favor."

I shipped the box same day, tracking shows as delivered. The dispute was blank
and they never added any information either.
Crazy how I've paid pp over 50K in fees and they can't cover an obvious
scam.
The buyer has been in contact with me from the start claiming PayPal did the
chargebacks for security reasons. They even sent me a money order to cover the
chargeback.

I'm going to call pp and see what the difference was between this and all
the other chargebacks that I won and will post what I find out.

Sorry to hear, yeah, once the bank gets involved, it’s physically impossible
to win, I’ve heard even if you have the customer on camera and have a signed
receipt from them buying the item, if they file with their bank, you will loose

It common knowledge (exceedingly so among those who would abuse it), so unlike
other issues, I don’t see any issue with this one staying up
