I doubt anything will come of it though.

Fuck it, its probably gone.  Looking at the address, it seems to be a shipping depo of some sort.   Probably a fake drop or something.  Man this pisses me off.  How could the address be verified on Paypal, and Ebay say go ahead and ship it, but there is obviously no one living there?

Although it's not illegal to ask for debt collector service, but you have to think of other implications that are not very obvious. What you do know is the buyer on ebay is a scammer. What you don't know is whether he's a criminal in other aspects too, or how dangerous he is. If you hire someone on this forum to do the dirty work, are you going to be liable if something happens to the debt collector? Even if you both agree that you won't be liable, then something does happen to him, it can be traced back to you and you will be responsible.

Everyone who has ever sold 1 item on Ebay knows that Ebay only protects Buyers.
I have been burned by scammer buyers on that garbage site 4 times.
All members were "verified" by Ebay.

Im not sure how anyone would be willing to sell something over $100 on that site... you are almost better off listing on craigslist and meeting the buyer in the middle of a cornfield at midnight or in an alley in Cleveland.

I hope you get your money OP...its not looking good tho since Ebay doesnt care about Sellers.

I appreciate anyone who can provide any support.  I was mainly getting rid of some miners to help pay for my wedding coming up, as there were some unforeseen expenses that popped up in the 11th hour.  This kind of thing just makes me sick and that Ebay won't reimburse me, even though they said everything was fine and smooth with the buyer.  Ugh, just leaves a pit in the middle of your stomach.

It's really odd that they told you to ship when it was an e-check, from what I remember e-bay would tell me NOT to ship until the e-check clears.

They are totally liable for this, file a dispute with paypal and ebay. Decent chance they won't give you the money despite being liable though.

Unfortunately you had to learn the hard way, ebay is a terrible place to sell anything.

Once u r done trying out all your known options, post the name & address details and put a bitcoin bounty on getting back your shipped product. Sometime bounties work like magic...

I don't think it is illegal in the U.S. The OP could even sell the debt to a collector who then takes over pressing the deadbeat. Of course you can't beat the guy up, but you can make his life a living hell. Calling 10 times a day to his employer, posting on all his social media, asking the local police to accompany you on a visit to his house, etc.  

 I would suggest to use something like darknet for this since it sounds a little illegal to do it

I have an Ebay customer who bought an S3 from me.  Ebay told me the payment was made and so I shipped the item only later to find on Paypal that the payment was an Echeck and had not cleared the bank yet.  Today, the payment was denied and not put into my Paypal account.  To me, this is a problem on Ebay's hands as they told me to ship the item as payment was made and everything was good when in fact it wasn't, they do not seem to think so, and have referred me to ic3.gov to file a complaint.
I was assured that they would handle it and either get me my money or my item, but after reading up on who they are and what they do, I am not so sure, and even if they do, I doubt it will be timely, so I am guessing I can expect to receive my S3 back sometime next year when it is worthless.  That is why I am potentially looking for someone to visit this person and collect on debts owed.  The person is in Springfield Gardens, NY and I have a name, address, and will get the telephone number from Ebay soon.  I suppose the payment for this service would be based on amount of work required to get my item/money back, I would obviously take the item back, but am thinking at this point this person should pay for missed mining time and any other fees (like this one) I incur as well, but that can be determined later.

This is a feeler thread for now until I see what Ebay will do or if the person contacts me back to get this resolved.  If interested, please post below with qualifications and why you think you can handle this, and also a rough idea of your fees for this.  Obviously time is of the essence in this mining game, so I will be making arrangements sooner rather than later once I hear what Ebay will do.
