Buyer from Ebay return empty item?

I sold a iPhone 5 recently at $1000 and after 2 days buyer wanted to return it so I accept but the item he send was empty so should I report it to poice if so will the person get sued or jailed or any punishment?

It's not a police matter. It's a civil matter. That means you have to sue them in small claims court. Good luck proving it was an empty box. It's your word against theirs. They can also claim the item was taken out by a postal employee. You might still win but it's a long hard road.

  • Sold item on ebay buyer didn't recive? OK so I sold an iPhone on eBay for 175 I shipped it 2 days after receiving payment 2 weeks later the buyer tells me he hasent received it and he is asking me what can I do so what should I do I don't want to give him a refund cuase then he gets 175 and all I get is a missing iPhone so what should I do?
  • SHOULD I SHIP MY ITEM TO THIS SUSPICIUS BUYER ON EBAY? Today I sold and Iphone 4s on Ebay and everything was working out just fine, the buyer payed like usual. Then, the buyer messaged me and said "I accidentally put the wrong address. Can I change the address?" I replyed and told him/her "NO". I then went to paypal to see if it my funds were pending and they was. I also looked at the buyers buying history and he didn't have any. He joined August 14, 2014. Do you guys think I should ship the item or contact ebay?
  • I want to refund an item on ebay but the item has been modified? I have a cracked iphone that has the cracks colored in. They werent colored in before the purchase. Does this mean i can't get a refund?
  • Can a buyer lie on Ebay/Amazon about receiving an item? For example I sell and IPhone, and ship it phone with delivery confirmation and signature. What if, after delivery the buyer decides lie by to filing a claim against me saying that the box was empty?
