I am with you on this one. How do we vet people because I would be interested too. Especially if I can get it in a couple of weeks from purchase.

Hi, as you said no offence but the main problem in not selling any boxes as per your comments is not the price, it’s the confidence/trust. There are so many who got scammed or at least had a conversation with a scammer in their mining journey and everyone tends to be a bit cautious in their approach. The reason my offer was $900 USD is I will have to pay the 20% again on top of this when it lands in New Zealand and that’s the reason I asked if you can get a rebate on the tax which you paid in your country as you are selling it off.

More scammers than legit sellers… issue is you can’t buy direct unless you are very lucky. I got scammed a couple times already but fortunately used paypal and got my funds back. I have $40K on order at the moment through bank transfer and waiting on shipping. One supplier I’ve done multiple purchases and the other my 1st. It’s nerve racking to say the least but when ordering from over seas it takes longer.

What I have done in the past to help a bit, but there’s still shipping scams, is to have the seller and I on the phone and the seller lists the miner on Ebay at a buy it now price.
As trust goes both ways, we split the Ebay/Payment Service fee in half, so the price increases to cover that.
For those who don’t know how a shipping scam works…
First, if using Paypal (which a lot of scammers do to process the transaction), only open a claim with them, not your credit/debit card at the same time. That’s the last resort as a dual claim will invalidate your Paypal claim.
USPS: Only gives you and the payment company the zip code for delivery. Scammer uses an algorithm to search USPS for a package going to your zip code and uses that as proof of delivery. Solution is time consuming as you have to call and have USPS confirm that your address is not the address referenced in the tracking number (you don’t need the other address). Then ask that they email you a “letter on stationary” stating that. Provide that to Paypal/your bank.
FedEx: Avoid if at all possible. They will not help you. But here’s how this works. Shipper send a package to your address (but probably the incorrect size and weight) with signature verification, just prior to delivery, the shipper has FedEx return the package to him/her. It comes back, they sign for it. If you just call up the tracking number, it will show delivered to YOUR city and signed by someone. Here’s where Paypal comes in handy. They will deny the claim as it looks like you go the package. You need to call and get a semi-intelligent human on the phone. Remember, if Paypal handled the transaction, they have the shipping/tracking info. But you MUST MUST MUST have them call up the DETAILED TRACKING from the regular tracking page that says delivered to your city. The detailed tracking will show the seller asking for it to be returned and actually delivered to their city.
UPS: Sorry, I have never had an issue with any UPS transaction.
DHL: Same as UPS.
I should probably post this as a stand alone.

No thanks, You do realize that not only you have to pay MORE money as a buyer for the same product(12.5% premium because that’s what ebay charges for final value fee) but also pay TAX on top of your sale right? Do you also realize that ebay has no protections for sellers whatsoever? It’s amazing what people with ZERO selling experiences on ebay spew things thinking like they know everything lol. FYI, buyers can also scam sellers on ebay.
As I’ve mentioned above if you are too lazy and stupid to figure out that it’s hard to pull off a scam here in USA especially when that seller is also accepting bank deposits, I feel sorry for you lol. Keep trolling.
Oh and just an update. the CK BOX is now $1200 each. I have 11 available for sale. and for those that only show interest, I’m not holding it unless all payments are paid in full.
PMd you. Can you PM me your number so we can FaceTime?
Then use an escrow company. Either way, you’re paying for the security.
Go troll yourself. I’ve never been scammed.
Yup, security for the buyer and no security for the seller. What a great way to transact.
