We met in person, he sent me the payment by card, i gave him my steam deck. Later that day the transaction was cancelled, the guy got the deck for free. Europe. Anything i can do? Can the police help?
Do e transfer with auto deposit.
You can contact Valve and give them the serial number. They may be able to mark it as stolen if someone tries to log in on it. I’ve seen posts about this before and they do try to help.
People still don’t know that you’re supposed to get the cash in hand on Facebook?
Can you cancel charges like this when you use zelle? Website says no but…
I need someone to explain this to me, because in Ecuador (after the pandemic) we use a lot of direct bank transfer and it’s pretty safe. Safer than cash, really. What does OP mean when he says it was by card?
Was it a bank transfer or how did they pay you?
Yes you contact the bank and then they re issues the payment. You may need to provide evidentce that the person has the item.
The dummy gave you his id and you have a picture of it and he still tried to rip you off… Wow. I would report the deck stolen and report him.
Never take payment like that again and move on
why would you not do cash
kind of on you but hopefully you remember what they look like and maybe they can track who they are with the payment they used originally
Its a real shame that happened to you. Interesting reading through this thread though, I always prefer cashless exchanges myself, lots of risk of someone just mugging you when meeting up. Never knew you could reverse a payment to another bank account, given all the warnings to ensure the details are correct etc, always seemed like it was final.
Not sure how to sell anything now xD
