The common consensus is that bidders are often scammed by sellers. But it is possible for things to be the other way around.
Here is a list of the common problems sellers encounter and the means to hnadle them.
Fake Escrow Services
A winning bidder may request that an escrow service be used to assure both parties of a fair transaction. Unfortunately, the seller is sometimes duped into using a fake escrow system.
To avoid such, the seller must always verify the authenticity of an escrow service.
eBay recommends the use of escrow.Com. If the bidder insists on his or her escrow service, chacnes are, that person is a scammer.
Victims of such find it difficlut to reclaim their items. They may, however, appeal to the legal means afforded by the state they live in.

Filing an Unpaid Item dispute is the frist step toward eBay reimbursing those fees. One can report an unpiad item up to 45 days after an auction's close.
Trade Dipsute
