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?

    Damn, that sucks! I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. Whenever I sell used consoles here in Portugal I send them through the mail/post, with an option that they have to pay the delivery man upon arrival to get the package. Then I get a letter later on and can go to a post office and get my money, in cash. So the only downside is, if it’s a scammer, I get my item back and only lose the delivery fee. If that’s an option when you’re not selling through eBay or in person, I highly recommend using it. And it’s a win-win for both people, as genuine buyers only pay when the package is at their door.
