Anyone buy from VladiTT scam got no refund

Could you explain? What are chances of an item being lost in the post? In my EJ career I had a few "losses" from the post (sending or receiving). 

There is only one that I am absolutely sure it is the Post fault because I know the person well enough. He simply sent the item and it simply never arrived. 

One item arrived 3-4 months later. 

One item was supposedly not received but I somehow found out later that it actually was, because I caught the trader trying to trade the blade again and the pics were exact match. He still denies and said he got this blade (exact pic match) by somebody else (maybe a guy from the post  ) but still accepted to send the money he owed...When he told me that he didn't receive the blade but that I could keep the blade he sent to me (it was trade) but would not send the money according to the value difference we agreed. I found this nice or maybe suspicious. I felt bad to be suspicious (in case he was nice) but I was right at the end...

One item was not received by a buyer but I am still wondering if it's true or not. I proposed full refund to the buyer but he said that half-half was ok which I think again is nice or suspicious by pretending to be nice. 

One item I never received in a trade but I am 99,9% sure that it was never sent because the other person was a bit suspicious since the beginning (and I was naive). he never sent my blade back and now he doesn't reply and even changed his e-mail address. 

Recently I received an envelop containing an empty blade box...it looks like the envelop was opened and closed again so most likely it has been stolen on the way or (because of previous experience I am very suspicious) the seller pretended through some weird packaging that it was stolen on the way while he actually never sentit. This sounds quite crazy but is not completely because according to 3 years ebay history the seller already sent twice a tissue instead of the item...(unfortunately I only saw that only later, because he had 100% for the last 12 months and I didn't bother to check older transactions) 

Sorry for the slight off-topic but I hope people can learn from my mistakes and/or unlucky experiences. On the other hand I had so many successfull transactions that this amount of troubles might be quite low in percentage and we can say that I actually had a lot of lucky experiences according to the fact that this kind of transactions are more or less risky. I think I must have received at least 500 items and sent about 300. 

 

 

From economic view the example is right but 1200 Transactions is very much.

 

I have to wonder what People have in mind to trade or sell an item they even do not have at their home.

If i want to sell an item that is mine but it is not available at the moment because i gave it to a teammate for testing for example i cannot sell it!

I would never ask my teammate, friend or whatever to send the item out for me. It is my responsibility as seller to ship it myself and not to rely on others...

When I said 1200 transactions I meant buying and selling lumped together. For the purpose of this statistic buying is just as relevant as it still uses postal services.

Also, the buyer pays the postage so I'm not too worried about the difference. You could argue I have to price the item a little less, but then again what is the exact right price especially for a second hand item? It's not an exact science.

I think you have a point though. some people are like that. They focus on every little penny and miss the big picture. I cringe sometimes when I see some of the prices in the 'for sale' section? I mean, what's the point of selling if you are NOT going to sell? Each to their own.
