"I've got a bad feeling about this."

I haven't received my item yet, but I'm getting suspicious. Hopefully it's legit, but there was a buy it now for 299/best offer on a Nocturnal Fire boxed set last Thursday (maybe some of you saw it). Just for kicks I sent an offer of 250, not thinking the seller would go for it, but 20 minutes later is was accepted. The seller marked it shipped Monday (no tracking even though the auction said it would have tracking #), and feedback has since been marked private. But before that, I saw that several of his positive recent auctions were actually "ended due to error." He is a newer seller, but had 100% positive feedback.

I haven't contacted the seller yet, but I'm worried that it's gonna' be a) "lost in the mail" b) repack c) sellers remorse d) maybe it will arrive ok

I will update either way. I haven't posted seller name just in case it turns out legit, but sounds fishy, eh?

Okay, definitely add justice1118 who recently changed their username to jess2313jess to your blocked lists. I bought and paid for two new Marvel Universe figures and received no communication or figures. For some reason because of the ID change, I can't open an item not received case until Dec 30th, over a month after I bought the items. Their feedback has been a downward spiral for the last month. Avoid at all costs.

I purchased from the same seller. My purchases were also marked shipped with no tracking, but on Saturday 12/14. The seller's switch to private feedback raised a red flag for me, so I sent a message asking if there is a tracking number. So far no response. I purchased because it seemed like a normal collection blowout sale, but now I'm thinking it's too good to be true. I'll be sure to update if I get a response and/or items.

Griffin, Greg...if you assume that this is what's going on, I wouldn't wait more than a week before filing a claim and making the seller responsible for providing some form of tracking information, be it a receipt from the PO or via PayPal/whatever shipping platform.

Although the PO is infamously slow this type of year (especially with scanning packages), the fact that this individual changed his Feedback to private and hasn't responded should be enough to warrant a firm response from you both.

I hope there's a positive outcome in all of this. Good luck!

What he said!! worst case scenario I'm only out $15 for my item. I've gotten bootleg band shirts on eBay,filed a claim,got awarded the refund,but by the time it was all over the seller had "insufficient funds" according to Paypal...never did get my refund through them.

CIAD, thanks for the advice and support. Apparently this seller has also blocked communication as I can't send a message through the order details page. I can only reply to the seller's messages sent to me.

Griffinpunk, if you have a chance and also wouldn't mind discussing this could you shoot me a PM? Thanks.

[griffinpunk]

PM sent. Hope this dude isn't out to ruin Christmas!

Ok all, gonna' go ahead and submit 118empire to this list. Here are the facts:

* Accepted a BIN bid on 12/12, auction indicated free ship w/ delivery confirmation (Joecon set)
* Marked shipped WITHOUT tracking 12/16
* Set profile feedback to "private" on or about 12/15
* Did not respond to shipping question on 12/18
* Performed "advanced search" of prior auctions - several were "ended due to error"
* Confirmed it's the same seller as other 'tankers with same issue

I don't want to jump the gun, but all signs point to scam. I don't get it though, it seems like a lot of effort when we can just file a claim and get a refund? And if it turns out legit, why ignore e-mails, close auctions, and hide feedback?

I guess I'll open a claim tomorrow. Bummer.

Make sure to add this eBay user to your block lists. Won my auction, never paid, zero communication. He has clearly done this before from reviewing his feedback.
