      Yes, I googled and it seems like a pretty common scam. Got four more of the same. Boo...

        I don't understand. What's his plan? Keep the camera and tell PayPal he hasn't received it but gets a refund?

          I sold a CH ring to him in February, delivered on 27th February.

          Now, after about 5.5 months (PayPal dispute is about 180 days), he has raised a dispute saying my item is fake.

          What can I do about this ? Any advise ?

          Quite frustrating

            Have you sold it through grailed? i mean with all the fees (both paypal and grailed) if yes i think there's nothing he can do to have back his money since as you can imagine 5.5 months are a lot for a saying that the ring is fake. So, if he opened a dispute through paypal, provide them all the documents you have about the shipping etc. i'm quite sure u will win the dispute

              Yeah, I see those eCommerce projects are doing well during this pandemic, but I don't see what will happen when all of this will come to a logic end. I mean, I understand that there are still places like eBay and AliExpress, but people are suffocating now from the desire of going to buy something offline.

Anyway, if you own now an online store you can use this plugin from magento 2 helpdesk in order to maintain the popularity of your website and, why not, to grow it. It’s nothing surprising now that instead of labour, people are choosing the smart ways.
