It was the persistence. At one point the guy at eBay basically told me "Loss is part of doing business" and my reply was " I am not a business, I am a hobbiest buying selling and trading something I love and this guy stole from me."(That's why my eBay handle is Hobbiest now) Answers like that and just NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER was the key. They use to have a VIP thing back then and I joined into it so I did have that working for me as well. Talked to a chick on another call and she noticed it verbally I was VIP so it meant something. I have never had a negative and at the time I was buying and selling 5-6 pairs of X metals a week along with watches and was a money machine for them and it took pointing that out. They were often getting two fee's off of me from the buy then the sell so yea I guess when they put all that together they figured it was more profitable to keep me happy but it was pulling teeth outthat's amazing that you got your money back I've never heard of a case where both parties "won" in a sense. Was it the constant hassling that made Ebay payout to you even though it decided in the buyer's favour? You must have a stellar reputation on Ebay for this to happen I assume
of concrete to get it. eBay's policies for sellers today are much much better. It was "sell at your own risk" back in 2017-18 and allot of people's bad feelings about eBay come from that time period and before.
