Ebay Seller to Avoid

Escaflown4 · Post by **Escaflown4** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 7:48 am

I'm surprised this seller hasn't been banned yet. I originally bought a book off him about a month ago and I still haven't received anything yet. At that time, his feedback was spotless. It was a week or two after I bought the book that all the negative feedback started to roll in by other folks. In any case, I have already opened up a dispute and just waiting to get my money back, but avoid this seller at all cost.

i imagine this is what happens when ebay sellers get seriously injured or die. from his previous feedback ... i doubt he's intentionally screwing people...

I doubt this is the case as two weeks ago, he actually responded to me saying that he had shipped it and I should be getting it in a week. I still haven't received anything yet and judging from the other feedback, he made the same lie to them as well. His feedback was definitely clean before I bought something from him. It's as he just suddenly decided to give up.

With all of the negatives for sure it's only a matter of time that he will be banned. In addition to giving a negative, I would report him to eBay and tell eBay to look at all of his recent negatives.

I dealt with a seller a few years back of whom I thought that was the case. He had perfect feedback in the many thousands and all of a sudden he gets a ton of negs from people saying they never go their stuff. I filed a Paypal claim and got my money back, but never did find out what happened.

Yeah I have already received my money back from Ebay from the item I bought from this seller. What I find interesting is how long it'll take Ebay to figure out that his account needs to get removed. It's obvious 20+ negs in a row with tons of people filing for item not received is not doing the trick.

classic trust and bait strategy. sell a few things, get positive feedback, build trust, then screw people of their money until the gig is up. he wont be selling any more on ebay but so what? he got his money and now he can buy as much cocaine as he likes.

Crap like this used to happen to me all the time when I was buying dvd's on ebay for cheap.

I think it was around 2005 when I started never receiving my dvd's from at least three buyers. One actually left me positive feedback before unregistering from ebay so I couldn't leave any feedback at all.

Frustrating part was all 3 overlapped and were seperate entities from what I could tell. Don't know how it is now, but back then you could only attempt one paypal dispute per year - and all paypal could do was pull funds out of their paypal account - they couldn't touch their bank or credit cards for any funds you couldn't recoop. I had $50 sent to one dvd seller and got $9 and some change back from my purchase.

One terrible seller had the gaul to post a signed Lebron James jersey a month after my dvd fiasco and blocked all of his feedback from view. Needless to say I contacted every bidder I could on that jersey to let them know how big a sleaze ball he was.

these losers sit in their basement somewhere and spend all their time thinking about how to steal from others. Imagine if they channel that energy into trying to improve their lives an honest way?

Paypal offers much more protection these days! (but still not as much as I'd like)
