Avoid ebay seller warmu, who is also known as arlichar on here.

He sold me a Cobra De Aco figure, which he claimed was used but in fact when I received it, it was clearly replainted. He does not seem to comprehend the difference between repainted and used. He promptly gave me a refund but became very disrespectful and condensending when I tried to explain to him that the item was clearly in damaged and not original condition due to it being repainted.

I then asked if he wanted me to return the item and no response to this and I was without an address to return it to. So then today I receive yet another disrespectful reply from him. I am going to post them here if that is not a problem so the facts can be shown as I am sure he will post in here since he is a board member.

From the pictures of the auction, it is very hard to tell if the item was repainted due to camera flash.

Dear warmu,Hello,Just received the Cobra De Aco and this figure was definitely repainted and it looks terrible. I could not see this in your pictures and this was not in the description. I have another Cobra De Aco and it looks nothing like this one. It is quite clear that this whole figure was repainted and done very poorly. Had I known this, I would not have bid on it. I am not too happy with this figure. I hope we can resolve this situation.Thanks,Tony- sirt8669

Dear warmu,I can send pics of the figure if you wish but I am sure you saw it as you did take pics prior to listing it. Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you want me to send the item back to you? I may have been listed as used but repainted is not the same as used. Used can mean played with condition but when someone repaints it, it loses all value and is considered repainted, refurbished in a way but the wrong paint was used on this figure and it does not look good at all.Thanks,Tony- sirt8669

Dear sirt8669,yeah.. like i said i wasnt awre it was repainted.. i didnt do anything to it..and wasnt looking for such things! obviously it doesnt look that obvious as it doesnt show up in pictures and i didnt notice it! ive refunded you so no need to argue about what your expectations are! and i agree withwhat yor saying, but in my mind used means i didnt buy this from the store , so it may have issues that im not aware of and not to expect a 100% mint item..new from the box! thank you- warmu

Dear warmu,You never asked for me to send the item back but now you want me to send it back? I even asked you in your email if you wanted me to send it back but you never replied to that. I assume you were reminded of this on hisstank as I noticed you are a member on there. - sirt8669

Dear warmu,Excuse me, forced you to refund the item? Where are you getting this crap from? I never once asked what your address was, you must be confusing me with someone else. I clearly stated in the message, which I still have, do you want me to return this item to you? You never replied to that, not once. I seem to get everyone elses messages on here and they get mine so the problem must only be with you and not ebay. After your disrespectful and condensending emails, I will make sure to never buy from you. I will also put this on the forum to make others aware of my bad dealings with you. I will send your figure back to you at my earliest convenience as I now have your address so I can now return the item. I would have returned it but I never got the supposed emails you sent with your address.Thanks,Tony

Dear sirt8669,calm down.. yeah you demandeda refund and i gave it you no big deal..! and yes ebay has had issues,,if u go to customer support it even says if your contacting us about technical issues we know and are working on it! so im sorry that address wasnt sent to you! why couldnt you just look on the box i sent? so now i know that you just didnt have the address so again no big deal.. my first message was just to ask about why it wasnt sent back.. so now its ok,! so not sure why your so upset...sorry to have upset you.. ! thanks- warmu

sirt, if I were you I would post it. This thread is about giving people a heads up and that counts doubly when it's another member here. If a message is nasty from someone in a transaction, it's a pretty safe bet that it falls under the category of "need to know". Sorry you've been dudded by this person and they're being difficult.

OK, this is just as important as overtly getting ripped off by someone, this is getting ripped off via stealth.

This person uses the same ID

SCHILL BIDDING and Retaliatory feedback are more rampant than anyone could possibly believe these days.

This guy, Servideo Martín López, took me for over $60 in 2007, now he is somehow a registered member again on EBAY. He is an expert at REVERSING PAYPAL payments and will string you along. He will do it multiple times.

can anyone point out where i was disrespectful? i mean i refunded him immediately, and he never sent item back...
i simply sent him a message that said i havent got it back and wondered why.. he explained that he didnt have address.. so i gave it to him.. hes proceeded to blow this way out of proportion and not sure why...theres more bad attitude in his messages than mine..!

Not sure how you can't see where you are rude and condensending? Yes, you did refund the money immediately but I asked you if you wanted me to return the item, then I received no reply until, which I assume, you saw that I posted in your thread on here as that is when I received the first reply from you since this happened. You asked where the item is, hard to return it with no address and no reply with an address. My replies are only defensive due to your lack of respect and false information.

I guess I didn't make it clear enough last time...... hash it out via PM or something. This thread is to report information. It has been reported move forward. It seems the two of you need to work this out, do it via PM, not in this thread.

Guy is from France and filed a dispute with Paypal BEFORE contacting me saying that he did not receive his package.

Well if he bothered to look at the tracking number I gave him BEFOREHAND when the package went out, he would have seen that his post office tried to deliver it twice.

Lots of aggravation for nothing and no courtesy before filing a claim.

This Belgian Seller/Buyer yp2604 ( eBay My World - yp2604 ) is most likely a scam artist. Recently left me 2 negatives, barely writes in English (when it suits him), will not respond to direct questions.

After further research I strongly believe this EBAYer to be the same person as the following ID's as well. All 3 were created within one month of each other - and have many figures in common in feedback.

Please let me know if you see any of these ID's selling a WATCHTOWER or WRECKAGE FIGURE.
