Or

You may want to film yourself opening the package at UPS when it is received.

I did just. Used ups my Choice to hold the package at the local distribution center.only problem is its a 45 minute drive for me each way.-

Problem is, he only has 1 negative feedback as a seller, and no unpaid strikes against him. His buyer feedbacks are all positive een though the comments themselves are negative. But Ebay does not care of all that, I guess they just go by hard numbers.

I unfortunately have to report two non paying bidders:

layne122211
sidearmsalpha001

Both seem to have good feedback, so who knows, maybe they died.

In case they did, R.I.P.

sidearmsalpha001 paid today, just before the case was set to close. Communication goes a long way. If the buyer would've just advised me that they had to wait until the weekend to make payment, there wouldn't be a need to open a NPBR.

Woof but at least you can nail the could be perpetrator of ebay fraud and if not you return with you x-men set.

damn, I have not been able to pick up the item from UPS because of the hurricane that passed through here. And today I got a mail saying the money has been refunded back to the buyer because they see the item was delievered. I can know appeal the decision. I called them to tell them about the hurricane and all they could offer me was that I pick up the item at the earliest. And if there is an issue to contact them and they will figure something..

One good thing I did was I delinked my paypal account from ebay account, so they couldn't automatically remove the money from my bank or credit card. I will let them hang till I have a resolution in my case. F**king B@st@rds!

Check out item # 221119444336

This seller is selling a repro card and claiming its the real deal.

Here's his item description:
" THIS IS THE SUPER RARE HARD TO FIND GI JOE DESTRO.* COBRAS WEAPONS SUPPLIER.* I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF SUPER SIZE PHOTOS SO YOU CAN SEE HOW MINT MINT MINT THIS PACKAGE IS.* I'M SURE IF YOU WANTED TO SEND IT OUT TO BE GRADED IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE HIGHEST GRADES YOU WILL EVER SEE.* I'M SURE GRADING IT WOULD RAISE THE VALUE OVER $100 MORE, I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME.* I HAVE SEEN SOME ASKING $999.00 FOR THIS SAME DESTRO, I'M STARTING HIM AT ONLY .01 SO ITS GOING TO SELL.* BID SOON AND OFTEN.* YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BUY.* WHAT A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.* AGAIN PLEASE VIEW ALL LARGE PHOTOS AND FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. I WILL PACK THE HECK OUT OF IT SO IT WILL GET TO YOU SAFE AND SECURE.* FREE SHIPPING IS JUST ANOTHER PERK FROM BUYING FROM ME.* THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!!"

Here's my email to him when I noticed the card was a repro:
"Dear thechitt354,

I have some disappointing news, this card will never pass at the AFA. It cannot be graded because it is not an original card. If you look on the back of the card at the bottom left corner, it says "reproduction packaging". This was created by a fan for those that can't afford the original. I truly hope you didn't pay more than $40 for this. If you did, someone owes you some money.

Again, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Please either take down or revise this listing so no one is ripped off.

Here's his response:
"Dear gijoe_arah,

clearly shows repo on my photos. thank you.

- thechitt354"


WOW. He's knowingly trying to sell a repro card as a legitimate, AFA worthy original. What can we do to stop him?

I don't know why, but 80s Joes are my thing and when I see some jerk trying to rip off a collector that doesn't know any better, it really makes me mad.

Hey Carson,

We were just talking about this in another thread. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...y-bad-day.html

Report the auction as fraudulent. eBay will remove the listing. The more reports they get, the quicker they are to respond.

[3DJoes]

Will do! Glad the board was on top of it. This guy's a grade a jerk.
