I agree with Dezdmona....even hard tickets are not fool proof.

I bought 4 hard tickets to JB @ MSG last year on EBAY and when we went to use them found out that the buyer had reported them as missing and new tickets were issued. He claimed that I emailed him saying that I'd never gotten them and he had new etickets issued, but the bottom line was that I never sent an email like that (perhaps the problem when you have too many tickets for sake on EBAY) and worse yet, we didn't get into the show, so even with hard tickets you still may be left out in the cold!

EBAY and Paypal were useless in trying to resolve the situation and I will think long and hard before I ever buy tickets again on EBAY. I agree, you should have mentioned the kind of tickets you had and if he can indeed show an email trail it will sound like you are a scammer. You are in a hard spot as has been pointed out since he now has the tickets and could copy them.

It amazes me that some people could actually scam someone like that.

I guess I am just naive.

I don't think I would buy tickets on Ebay after reading some of these stories. Stick with reputable ticket brokers.

They know their suppliers and are usually pretty trustworthy.

After all, if a person scams on a ticket brokerage company and the end user reports it, that scam artist would never be able to sell their tickets to that company again.
