I read about a person who sold an iphone and lost all their money AND phone because this buyer claimed it had "water damage" without even showing evidence. And ebay didn't even make them ship the item back.
I read if you make them sign a delivery confirmation they can't make false claims on you? But I don't know. Or you can have them write you a check? But i don't know if ebay even allows checks anymore. These couple of items I want to sell are over $200 and they are more "specialty" collectible items so selling them on CL would be a bit tough, someone would most likely buy it just to sell it for a little more on ebay, lol.
