Rather than hog up a bunch of posts, I've consolidated all the B.S. in to one easy to read thread on the island. You can view the thread here:

The facts:

Purchased a figure from this seller on 01/18. Paid for it on 01/19.

As of today, 02/11, I have no figure in hand.

The seller responded to a "bad seller" thread I posted about him on CobraIsland.com. His response was "what's the big deal".

Please view the thread above for further details.

I noticed on that thread that s8ballin was one of the Doyles'. I bought from him on several occasions and was actually very fast and had very good communication. As for his brother's, I have not dealt with them but they both sound very untrustworthy and quite honestly, probably wont deal with s8ballin again either

Well, the whole ordeal with this guy turned out to be nothing but drama. He got caught lying, bad mouthed a few boards, got thrown off the island...had the gall to register under a new name and defend himself disguised as a "happy customer"...the list goes on & on.

He'll be banned here if he decides to show up....so (s)Mods, look out for the following names:

Wow, I just read that whole thread. Thanks for the heads up, CIAD. Did your money ever get to from the paypal dispute?

No Sir, not as of yet. I believe I should receive it within the next 72 - 84 hours.

It's a real shame that things had to turn out the way they did.....

Eh, that's life, I guess.

BTW, welcome, Snowjob!

Thanks, dude. Actually, I was around before the relaunch, but thanks, nonetheless.

Oops! Sorry about that!


Here's a final update:


I won the PayPal claim today. However, since I did receive my figure, I forwarded payment for the figure along with ACTUAL shipping costs to the seller in question. Although he's shady IMO, that doesn't mean I'll practice what he does....so I paid him what he was rightfully owed.

I'm glad to finally put this issue to rest ;)

As for my dealing...Death...it sucked. lol. The guy was a schmuck the whole time. He even went so far as to make a fake user name so that he could praise himself as a good seller. I'm just glad the ordeal is over with!

What surprised me about the whole thing was that all of the posts were in 2 or 3 days, that I remember. He had a very good rep from what I could see but he just decided to throw it out the window when he started dealing with you. He has some cool figures but to act like he did was something else. This whole thing could have simply been avoided if he had just said he had misplaced it, forgot about it, or whatever. I would even have gone so far as to say he could have saved his rep by saying he screwed up even after saying it was just a toy and for you to chill but when he edited all his posts, created a new account to praise himself, and even went behind your back PMing others he lost any chance he had of keeping his rep with this community and any respect he had.

I think I saw your feedback when I was looking at his rep thinking about ordering from him. I don't think I thought ill of you at the time (being one out of so many I usually side with the seller and I didn't know it was you) but if I did I apologize. In the end it didn't matter since the items I wanted went for higher than I wanted to pay (again, I'm kind of cheap with these things).

I hope he learned his lesson and if he has I would consider doing business with him but I think some time will have to pass first. Like you said it is done and behind you now. I really don't see what else I can say about it so I will try not to derail this thread further.

Brother, don't worry about a thing! You aren't derailing anything...that's what this thread is here for...to talk about unsavory transactions with eBay Sellers & Buyers alike!

I also couldn't agree with you more. If he would've been upfront with me, he would've seen A LOT more money from me as he had a lot of stuff that I wanted. I always buy "1 test figure" to see what a seller's practices are. If they're up to par, I buy a whole lot more. Unfortunately, he lied the whole time, disrespected Cobra Island and it's rules...and then pm'ed my girlfriend to tell her that she shouldn't trust me! LMAO!

As for siding with anyone, no apologies needed Death. Remember this, Paesan: There's always 3 sides to the story...one of them being the truth. I'm just glad that actions speak louder than words, because his actions are what hurt his rep.

Well, I'm starting to ramble on, so meh
