*WARNING* List of BAD eBay sellers

*MOD EDIT*

Beware of the following user eBay I.D.s:

scarletrooster
boobookitty_toys
timeless_collectibles2005

This individual has been banned from many different boards for unfortunate circumstances surrounding his business practices. With our members in mind, this thread is being stickied so that other members can be warned. Although not everyone has been burned by this individual, too many members of our community have been.

----------------------------------

Has anyone done any business with this seller on ebay?

I purchased a yellow Stalker for $9.99 BIN and I have yet to recieve it nor have I heard from him/her. I sent 3 emails and no response.

Some of their other auctions that were sold at the same time as mine are just getting feedback so I still have some hope....kinda.

At what point would you suggest I call it quits and contact Paypal?

Item number: 150171066700

I bought some figures from the seller not too long ago. Communication wasn't great, but I did get everything I paid for and in a timely manner.

I don't think I've dealt with him, but the name is very familar. I tried searching a few other boards to see if anyone has said anything about him but the name is too long for the search feature :rolleyes:

This person was accused of robbing quite a few people on YoJoe.

CrazyBones, I'd give it two weeks and then file. There's no reason not to receive a package within that timeframe if you paid immediately.

Sorry to hear about this, man :(

Like CIAD said, this guy is a known for screwing people. This is at least his 3rd eBay alias b/c old accounts had too many negatives.

I've had the UNfortune of winning a couple of his auctions in the past and he had horribly communication and took forever to ship.

Here's a crazy conspiracy theory for you. What if he sold you that yellow Stalker at $9.99 and then saw what he could get for it after you bought it. Now he's just waiting for you to request your money back so he can resell it at a higher cost.

Or I'm just off my meds again and what everyone else said above makes more sense. :\

Unfortunately, you are probably right. Some people don't honor their deals. I do hope we are incorrect and you get your figure in the mail very soon.

WildWeasel you could be right, after all there are people out there who will knowingly trick you...that's the way the world works sometimes. it has happened to me on there before as well.
But i would say eBay, for the most part is filled with honest traders.

WildWeasel - I think you are dead on. I'm sure he saw his error but doesn't make it right.

Either way I am stuck.
