Online marketplaces are becoming more popular for selling and buying gently used or refurbished items. Unfortunately, many sellers have to navigate buyers looking to commit fraud.  

Our client rebuilt a vehicle from salvage, obtained a title, and listed it on Facebook Marketplace. The buyer agreed to a payment plan, but then falsely accused our client of misrepresenting the vehicle’s history to avoid paying the balance.

After obtaining a handful of affidavits from other potential buyers that the rebuilt from salvage title was disclosed on the listing, the buyer agreed to settle up with our client. We helped our client recover the full payment so he could put the negative experience behind him.
