Ebay Classic Gaming Blacklist

[wingzrow]

UPDATE

Well I got a response from the buyer and after some back and forth they realized I was the wrong person and they left bad feedback by mistake. It's all been taken care of and i'm back to my 99.5% score so everything worked out fine. If this person is on your list, please remove them.

Honestly i'm very surprised this got cleared up so quick.

[wingzrow]

Just had someone open a case saying "

"The buyer has filed a claim stating this transaction was made without the account holder’s knowledge or consent. Please click Resolve Claim Now to view your options to resolve this issue and how to provide relevant information will help in PayPal’s investigation. We must receive your response by 7 calendar days from case creation in order to include your input in our investigation."

The buyer isn't responding and my only options in the resolution center are to provider tracking ( it was to canada so I don't have any )

OR to refund the money.

Why isn't there any "talk to customer" option so I can ask for them to return the item so I can give a refund?

[PC-ENGINE HELL]

Sellers beware of mrecool81 (http://myworld.ebay.com/mrecool81).

Buyer requested to be able to make a late payment. I granted this request. Before item was even due to be shipped, buyer sent a pm demanding refund if item wasn't shipped yet. I assumed buyer missed my posted shipping policy, 3-5 business days after payment has been made. I called them personally, and seemed to be able to make them realize their error after talking to them for a bit about my shipping policies, etc. I shipped the pc out the next day. Item arrives, buyer claims damage, wont load windows after post. Sends me 2 pms after 12 AM expecting instant replies. I reply in the morning when I wake up. Inform buyer of trouble shooting tips, and that if after trying said troubleshooting and it is still a no go, I can file a claim with UPS for them, but they will have to hand the item over to them.


Buyer replies back insinuating I am a scammer, because his old lady says so(yeah, thats what he refers to her as), insist he doesnt want to have to give the item back to UPS because he thinks he will have to pay them shipping back to me and that I will rip him off, etc. Lots of excuses and refers to his old ladys age old wisdom on ebay sellers. Sends other messages to me of similar quality. He finally request that I do a claim after I tell him that it involves no money on his part. I start the claim process.


During this time, the buyer opens a ebay dispute, thus placing my paypal account in the negative. He claimed he spoke with UPS regarding the claim, and that they informed him he would not be refunded if the shipping box had no damage present. After contacting both 1-800-pick-ups and my local UPS store, it is confirmed he never called them regarding the claim, and lied on his opening statement of the dispute.

I contact ebay via phone, they suggest replying to dispute, then escalating it, since I was caught in the middle of it, and the UPS claim process. I do so. Ebay reps informed me that if the buyer did not cooperate with the UPS claim process, then odds are, due to prior issues involving the buyer with other sellers, him demanding a refund from me before item was due to be shipped, etc, that it may be chalked up to buyers remorse and the case would be closed.

Today I contact my local UPS store manager. The claim was approved. They are not going to bother inspecting the item she said, much to both her and my regret, as the main people that handle claims felt it was not worth their time, since I had provided ample proof the item worked before it was placed in UPS hands. I was hoping they would inspect it, to call the guys bluff and see if he would worm out of the claim process (I will say why down below). At anyrate, I will be refunded by UPS. I will refund the guy since the UPS claim has been found in my favor. The guy lied on the dispute. He was a total asshole regarding the situation, showing zero trust I would handle the matter (then again, it wasnt really about trusting me, he was attempting a scam, and, lucky for him, it worked due to UPS not wanting to invest time in the claim).

So now, the other fun part of this. As I had mentioned, I spoke to the guy over the phone. He claimed to not read my payment and shipping policies at all before using BIN, even though the top part was in all caps, at top of auction. He stated multiple times the reason he wanted the pc from me was because the one he purchased awhile back as a Windows 95 setup was not fast enough to run some of his later games like Resident Evil 2-3 and MGS. During all his BS I decide to review feedback he has left other sellers. Low and behold, there was a few recient high value purchases that the guy made, where he claimed in negative fb that items were damaged and he wanted a refund. Sellers stated in fb replies they offered refund upon him returning goods, and he declined. The sellers all had solid feedback.

One of the negatives he left a seller involved the Windows 95 setup he described to me. He claimed it was damaged in the fb. Seller replied taht the guy was harassing to him, etc. Weird how this seemingly damaged computer was perfectly fine when I talked to the guy on the phone. I contact the seller. Their reply :

"Dear professorprofessorson,

No, they did not ship it back. I know for a fact that they was taking apart computers and trying to switch parts around. They did say that they took the memory and other stuff out of an IBM aptiva. They left negative feedback on me despite all the help I was offering. The messages they sent to me eventually turned into verbal abuse. My suggestion is not to communicate with them. My desktop I sent them was in 100% working order. This buyer does not know what they are doing or how to install basic stuff.
- haxers"

I will state again, on the phone, the guy never mentioned having a lick of problems with the actual hardware, only stating that he felt the computer itself was not fast enough and that Windows 95 was holding him back too.

I am well past the point of benefit of doubt for the buyer. They have more then proven they are a scammer in the making, gunning for scams on higher dollar items when possible. The guy is operating out of a trailer using a womans account as is, and he himself will not show up on 411.com, and their phone is a unregistered cell number. You all need to be very aware, because he is dealing with not just vintage pc items, but also 3DO, 32X Turbografx/Pc-Engine related items too, buying stuff quite often. If you are a seller in the USA or Japan, there is a solid chance you could risk having him win one of your auctions.

[wingzrow]

What a verbose story. I wish I has the time to write as much as you but most of the time it's just people making claims, paypal siding with the customer, and that's usually the end of that.

You REALLY need to have a buffer zone of cash you never remove from your paypal account for these sort of situations. You wouldn't have gone in the red if you did. I learned that the hard way and always have $300 or so in my paypal account for these sort of things.

Id rather go into a red during a scam issue until it is resolved. The money is safer in my bank account.

This dude is the highest bidder on a PSone game for $40. I get this message from him the next day...

"Hi, my roommate just informed me that he can't pay his part of the rent so I need to cover him. Would it be possible to pay 5/10 or if you want can you cancel and offer it to the next high bidder?"

So he wants to pay "$5 or $10" for the $40 game. What a deal!

Seems more likely he wants to pay at a later date and made a really bad typo? I dunno, I read 5/10 as a date. Maybe he meant 7/10 (July 10)?

This scammer bought a $200 Megadrive game from me. I decided to insure it at my own expense. I get this e-mail from him a few days later...

***"Hey. Got the package today. I am a little beside myself thou. The box was wet and i figured maybe it was becuase of the storm that went through the area. Go toopen the box and everything inside was wet. Not dripping wet but damp. Took the wet wrapping off the game and the whole game is just water damaged. The cartridge looks ok, haven;t tested it thou but the cover and manual are damp. I put them out on my table in hopes they dry out, but i think they are ruined. I don;t know what the heck happened but i am not really happy. "

I tell him to go to the Post Office to file a claim. I get this crap...

***"I spoke to my postman. He delivers alot of stuff for me and he said for something like that happened either it was send that way or in transit something happened. I don;t believe you would send something out like that so I have to believe in transit somethign happened. Unfortunatly I won;t be able to do anythign till i get back. If i have to go thru claims its going to take forever to get the money back but as long as it's insured I will be able to get it back regardless. If you have any other ideas or such send them my way."

What does this dick want from me? Am I supposed to somehow cooperate with this scam?

I ask him for pictures of the damage. I never hear back from him again.

Idiot.

So I sold a program. The program does not activate. He asks me what's up, I mention that the auction page says that any activation issues can be fixed by calling Microsoft.

I make a mistake and mention that I had already explained the issue via message before - but he says no such thing happened and escalates the dispute to a claim. I realize I made a mistake because of eBay's messaging system clumping all messages together by item instead of by eBay user and apologize, and mention that I was hoping to help him solve his activation issues instead of opening a dispute...

And then he gloats and says he'll file a chargeback with his credit card because I was "stretching the truth a bit." After I accepted my mistake with the user name.

And I can't tell the eBay customer service rep about this because the minute they escalate this to a dispute I can't say a goddamn thing.

My balance is negative. I owe eBay $60. And I can't pay it.

I'm sick. And tired. Of eBay.

[Ryaan1234]

So I sold a program. The program does not activate. He asks me what's up, I mention that the auction page says that any activation issues can be fixed by calling Microsoft.

This is why I don't sell used Microsoft Office Home and Student packs. You never know how many installs are left on them. Yes, you can call Microsoft and get an install but you could run into a problem like this. (I'm assuming all 3 installs were used and that's what caused the activation "issues")

But eh, the buyer sounds like sort of a dick too so their user name is noted.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I've always made a note of it with Microsoft software that requires activation, regardless of whether it's academic or not.

I just realized something - he left TWO negs recently for similar reasons.

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=salvy4252010&ftab=FeedbackLeftForOthers

I have a feeling this person is trying to scam money out of sellers.

Edit: I was right. This person escalated the claim to get a free item. I was left with no choice but to refund the item and not get it back. Avoid this person at all costs.

[wingzrow]

STAY FAR AWAY FROM

"girlzrbetter"

Here is the item in question.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160605343603&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

In response to buying this pikmin 2 disc which i said was sold as is, and then repeatedly said doesn't work. Buyer lies and says the auction doesn't say it doesn't work, even though I said that like 3 times in the item description.

"It does not state in you description that the game does not work. The condition is listed as acceptable. I do not find this acceptable. Your return policy also states that a refund will be given within 7 days. As stated in my previous email I am requesting a refund. Please provide me with an address that it can be returned to. Due to ebay policy I do not have to pay to ship items back. Thanks----Leslie"

I'm just going to ask her to return it and then throw it back online. Don't think I can really do anything.

BTW, can you list a game disc or cartridge as less than acceptable condition? Should the need arise I don't want people using that logic against me again. If not then I'm just not listing any condition for my other games that need to be buffered.

[NayusDante]

Scratches, I can understand. Cracked disk, that has no business being for sale.

[titanzguard]

After reading his auction for Pikmin 2 - What a dumba$$ this woman is. He states several times that its non working. Some people are so stupid. Why not READ the description before spending money on it. LOL

I sold this person a Gamecube game last week. She messaged me yesterday stating it was for her son who lives 4 hours away and he called her to tell her that it didn't work. I told her that it worked when I checked it but that I would give her a full refund once she sent it back. She then went on a rant about how she's a seller and would just refund the money. I told her that I am not a charity and do not give free refunds. If the game doesn't work fine but I need it back(or any other item) before I give a refund. I even pointed out that this was ebay's official policy. But today she left a negative. All because she didn't want to pay the $2 or less it would have cost to send it back. Add her now or go thru the same shit I just did.

Sounds like she's after a free game. So, she's a seller? Well, what you do is find something cheap that she's selling and purchase it. Once it arrives, neg her ass right back. Yeah it might cost a few bucks, but I think it'll be worth it!

Stop reading my mind. I do have one of her items in my watched item list. It's a shame that this is the only way you can get back at someone because of ebay's stupid ass rules against leaving feedback for buyers. But like the dude that got arrested to get free health care, sometime you gotta do what you gotta do. I don't really know if I'll go thru with it yet. I just wanted to warn you guys about her.

Do it! Do it! Do it! etc... Really I have had people tell me they never got my item and such.

cindybandtonyb

did this to me too. block them, buy something from them and neg them too. They stole $40 worth of Game Gear games and one of them was Tails Adventure!

[Gameguy]

So the best way to get back at someone on ebay is to give them your money?

Another case of a customer reading my listing back to me and then demanding a refund even though they know they made the mistake.

"I recently won the "LEGEND OF ZELDA LINK TO THE PAST - (SOLD AS IS ) SNES (380350113650)" auction. In the description of the game, it says "Could not get the game to save progress. I am assuming the save battery is dead. Game starts and plays normally otherwise. Some light wear from being played & handled." However, the game does not let you create an account, making it impossible to play. Since the game is rendered useless, I would like a full refund."

Seriously wingzrow. If you're having problems like this then STOP SELLING DAMAGED GOODS. This is the second return you've had because you decided to sell a game that wasn't working properly (scroll up a small ways to see Pikmin 2). I don't care if the buyer bought a game that was described as broken then wanted to return it because it was broken. All I'm saying is that as shitty as it is buyers don't always read the description, and the best way to avoid situations like these is to stop selling broken product.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Yeah dude, you're better off selling games that need repairs in forums and places where people actually read descriptions.

[wingzrow]

It's not as if I haven't thought about it. When ps2s with broken lasers sell for more than perfectly fine ps2s though you start to wonder. Bad luck I guess. This is why I have 20 something pokemon gold/silver/crystals that I have to solder new batteries onto. I can't just throw them on eBay like this if they don't save after all these recent happenings.

Sometimes I wonder if it's even POSSIBLE to sell something "as is" without the customer returning it. Ebay needs a new category for games under acceptable that says "for repair" or something. I know systems have it.

I've had few problems selling broken consoles that I cannot repair and are only good for parts. Selling broken games? That is just asking for trouble.

[theclaw]

It's not our fault or ebay's that buyers don't read item descriptions. How would they enforce a rule requiring it anyway? But yeah many sellers' descriptions of damaged goods ARE vague/misleading. Even I at times poorly word such ads.

[Gameguy]

The description says;

Could not get the game to save progress. I am assuming the save battery is dead. Game starts and plays normally otherwise. Some light wear from being played & handled.
That part about "Game starts and plays normally otherwise" is the problem, I'm guessing the guy who bought it is an idiot and doesn't understand the part about saving, plenty of people I've bought games from had no idea that games used batteries for saving when I asked them if the saves still worked("it worked when I last played it 15 years ago, why wouldn't it work fine now?").

The buyer has to be an idiot to pay $14.99 for a defective cart, working ones are maybe worth $20 max and that's a Player's Choice which isn't as desirable. I rarely get carts that need batteries but when I do I either return it or just give them away to a friend who can replace them, it's not worth it for me to try selling them. If the game was something like Earthbound, I'd pay to have it fixed and then sell it as working. No way would I bother selling a non-saving cart.

This happened a while ago but I'll post it anyway, this guy is a prick. He won a copy of Resident Evil for PS1 from me and I stated that it had minor scratches but played fine. He got it and said the scratches were more than minor but said it worked fine. He later complained that the game was not described and that he wanted a partial refund to compensate for the condition. I told him that he got the game for a good deal and that I would offer a full refund and even offered to pay for shipping. He would not accept the offer and sent me several emails asking for a partial refund. I finally told him to neg me and get over it and that I stated my policies in the description which he conveniently ignored. IN his feedback to me he stated that I yelled at him when he asked for a refund.

Lame

[theclaw]

Resident Evil for PS1 huh? Yeah I had two people return a copy of mine. The first it somehow arrived heavily scratched to, or they scratched it themselves hoping for a return. I'll never know the truth. The second claimed it was too scratched to repair, but I don't see signs of any repair attempt made. I'm still trying to sell it now.

She drags her feet in getting back to you if there's a problem, claiming that she "lost" the item she was going to send you. Previously a 100% feedback seller, she either has been hacked or just went for quick cash. Either way, do not buy from her. See this thread for details:

I ended up sending it back to her, I'm getting a refund.

XianXi mentioned him in that thread, so I dug a bit and he's been shill bidding on all of his listings. All of 'em. He uses zero feedback accounts to make fake bids and he cancels the bids in less than a minute.

I wish eBay had a way to block certain sellers from showing up on our searches...

He changed his user ID, it's now "Cricketlord".

Not sure if you're serious (or being sarcastic) but:

Go to advanced search, scroll all the way down click the box that says "Only show items from:", move the little drop menu to exclude and then type the offending sellers name. Voila! Your searches won't bring up any of his stuff.

I didn't know this option was available, but I mostly meant a list that would exclude sellers from my searches permanently.

Congrats to ebay bidder Saucerat (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=saucerat&ftab=AllFeedback). He rolled the dice and lost. Gamble Gamble Gamble Die. Bidder purchases classic computers and pc games. Bidder tried to scam both myself, and another ebay seller, pconsulting, out of extra computer parts. After declining his demands for free stuff, or for money so he could buy moar stuff, he opened a paypal dispute which paypal closed in my favor within a matter of hours after reading the guys messages to me and confirmation message from pconsulting that he was doing the exact same thing to them.

So I sold this person a copy of "Zelda II" for the Nintendo NES. About a month ago I recieved a message saying they purchased the game in error thinking it was for the super nintendo. I sent them my return address and told them to be more careful in the future.

all of a sudden today I recieved a negative feedback reading :

"This seller makes negative personal comments about where his buyers live."

Naturally i'm floored by this because it came out of nowhere AND they sent a polite message saying they had returned my item the very same day though UPS ( provided NO tracking number mind you )

So I figure, hey, maybe they left this feedback for the wrong person, they only have a handful of feedback and may be new to ebay.

Turns out i'm half right, they left it for me, that's for sure, but what's this? Further investigation reveals that they wrote a review on Zelda II, this member's ONLY review on any ebay item.

"Game: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Nintendo, 1988)
Ripped Off!!!!!
I cannot write a review of the item because I never received it. They buyer protection plan did not work and I paid for the item and never even got it. I probably will not order anything on ebay anymore."

So now i'm even more confused. I called up ebay and a representative there said he would reverse the negative feedback.

I just looked at the paypal transaction and the person who payed for the item is listed as "WSU CORPORATION". WTF?

I don't often encounter problem buyers (thank God) but in the last week or so I've had one. The eBay user ID is evi1120. Late last January I was selling off a few black box games (thinning down the NES collection, you see) and this buyer won my boxed copy of Donkey Kong 3 for a whopping $103.50 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/320834808797?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649). I sent an invoice shortly after the auction's end and received no response, then a few days after I messaged asking about payment and also received no response. At the week mark I opened an unpaid buyer case, which I always do if a buyer has not paid or contacted me within that time. A few days have passed now and I do not expect to ever receive payment. I'll update this post if I do but that still doesn't change the fact that this is a problem buyer that either never pays or takes over a week to pay.

I listed the cards by set and rarity, I think you are referring to booster series 2 and yes some are present, check the list. I am not breaking up this lot but feel free to send an offer anyways, listing these separately would cost too much to ship. Your question was a bit unclear so feel free to clarify.

For the record, here is the auction in question:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330716502494?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Actually I'm finalfantasyfan-1, normally I am very patient and understanding but in this case it felt like I was dealing with a 5 year old who couldn't take no for an answer. For those of you who don't do Ebay, they make it very hard to ignore someone who ask repetitive already answered questions without missing other important questions that I tend to expect with a lot like this. I can't break up the lot, if it were a larger lot and I could do it I would. I ask him to just send an offer and he never did. I probably should have left out the comment about his maturity though. Anyone have better ideas about how to handle these types of people in a respectful manner?

[Cmo]

Could always just be persistent and copy/paste the same reply,

"Hello.

I'm sorry but unfortunately I will not split this lot up.

Thanks!
finalfantasyfan-1"

It's short, simple, to the point and polite. They should get it after a couple times. I always keep in mind that eBay sees the messages that go back and forth, so it's better to sound polite and like a "nice guy". Think all the bad things you want about them while typing a politely worded reply.

I think you might have been getting trolled. I don't even play any of those games but from my years with other card games (last I checked about the only game that's still going strong in that lot is Yugioh so most of the cards can't be worth much) that lot couldn't be more than maybe $20~$40 and you got it listed for $200 even if you say "the price is set intentionally high so I can screen potential buyers." that's a huge difference. It's like if you ask someone what they want for Mario/Duck Hunt and they say "$100 but you can make me an offer" you know if you offer $1 there just going to get mad at you because they're expecting something higher.

About all I can say for better ideas is:

1. Look up all the rare cards and put the price around that for everything (9.9 times out of 10 commons and uncommons are worthless unless theirs thousands of them)

2. Drop that $200 down to a more realistic number you can keep it a bit high but not that high.

Then you wouldn't get those type of people contacting you.

Probably right about the trolling, I seriously doubt he ever had any interest in buying for anything near the shipping cost (about $10). Just looked up a few obvious ones that are well preserved, Gatomon and Boltmon are $5-$8 each Imperialdramon is worth $15, Crystal Celebi is $15, Dark Magician is $7, Blue Eyes is $15-35, and 6 other $3+ cards. I didn't expect a starter deck blue eyes to be that much. I see probably $120 here if I wait long enough. I'm getting a good number of views and watchers (42 and 2 respectively), so I am not too worried about the price being too high.

[understatement]

I didn’t know those cards were worth that much, but I never was a collector and only played Magic. I’ve sold too many lots like this "MTG 5300+ Magic the Gathering Cards" (http://www.ebay.com/itm/MTG-5300-Magic-the-Gathering-Card-Lot-w-1000-Unique-Cards-265-Rares-See-List-/190645396037?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6359e245) I guess to have thought other wise.

Whats sad about ALL of the info in this thread is that eBay has made ALL buyers 100% good. You can't leave Neg or Neutral feedback on them. If you need to say something bad, it has to be a positive, or you just don't leave feedback at all. This is not representing fairness to the sellers. eBay wants sellers to leave feedback and states Leaving honest comments gives members a good idea of what to expect when dealing with other members. But it doesn't, In essence eBay is HIDING the truth about their buyers to their sellers. Sellers whom they don't care about.

That is why Ebay is my last resort, the last straw was when they put in the newbie hold. I've been a member for 9 years! Not a single complaint, a 64 feedback score, but because I only have 14 seller feedback I still have 11 more noob holds before I become a "respectable member of the community" for whatever that's worth since the hold is more about pay'bay's micro-investments that anything else. If 9 years isn't good enough, what is. I have only had 2 problem buyers that actually had any interest in my items, one lived on a continent that I don't ship to, the other had an issue with UPS, not me. Neither went beyond an email or 2.

She purchased this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/230806740195) from my store. Sent me a scathing message because it didn't include a battery cover, which is clearly pointed out in my listing. I offered her a refund minus shipping fees and the 10% restocking fee I charge for working returns. She sent me another scathing message and I decided it was best to let it go. Of course, she leaves a negative.

Ah, the hilarity of doing business on eBay these days. Buyer doesn't read the listing and it's your fault.

I hate the idea of nominating someone for this list, but I'd like to add the buyer misfit-toys-and-games. I sold 25 items last week - 6 of them to this buyer. All of the items that I sent were very well received, except for 5 of the items I sent to this one person. In each case, they complained about a particular issue (ripped map, adhesive on box), which I try to fully document in the description and by using very hi-res (14MP) photos. However, the part that pisses me off is that he or she has attempted to extort partial refunds for these items in exchange for not leaving negative feedback. I did this for one item (as no threat of extortion was made for the first item I sent), but this time around I've just told the buyer to send the other 4 items back. I can report this to eBay and block the buyer from bidding on my auctions, but it's still a douche move.

Of course, this buyer has 100% positive feedback. Alas, it's hard to know what's going on when you can't leave a buyer feedback...

Actually I just had a problem with an item I bought from him. I had to send it back because he was completely deceptive in his description despite my multiple e-mails to him asking for details. He also claims to be a former Atari employee for 15 years but has been selling a lot of Video 61 manufactured prototypes and other shady stuff.

He commits to buy a GBA Action Replay from me. I send an invoice shortly after finding-out and wait. Nothing happens the next day, day after that, nor the next. I send a message asking when he intends to pay or if he's changed his mind and doesn't want the item. No response! I file a claim, four days pass, nothing. This happened the second week of July.

Watch out!

This guy can be added to the list as well. This guy wins one of my auctions (which I ask they pay within 5 days) messages me on the 5th day saying sorry, and he will pay later in the day, and of course it did not happen. So on the seventh day I contact him, and ask him if he could pay soon. He sends me a message back stating he would like to cancel the transaction, and that he has bought my item six times before for cheaper. LOL what the hell I did not tell him to bid on it. My auction started at .99 cents it is not like he clicked a BIN or something. Anyway I opened a case against him for non payment. A few hours later he pays, and sends me a message that he paid, and will leave me negative feedback. WTF. So I copy and paste his message to Ebay under feedback extortion. I understand it is not extortion, but they have no other option to use. I so hope this ass wipe can't leave me a neg.

eBay can't prevent him from leaving a negative. But, if you get in touch with an eBay agent (possibly through the chat) or someone (I see something about calling customer support and asking to be directed to the "feedback" department) after the negative is left and explain everything, they will hopefully remove it for you. The agent should be able to see that you got that message, and that the buyer is leaving negative feedback out of spite. Also: Who needs 7 Sega Nomads? O_o

This guy is nuts, and is continuing to send me messages. Now he is saying that no matter what happens he is leaving a negative, and going to return it. I am going to try and contact Ebay today. I don't know what to do honestly. Is this crazy dude gonna ruin my Nomad and then send it back?

EDIT:
For anyone who reads this, and is interested I just got off the phone with Ebay, and they were helpful somewhat. They told me to ignore this guy, and send the item. They said that if he tries anything they will take care of it, because after looking through the messages there is clear evidence of feedback extortion. So basically if he starts a claim against me or gives me negative feedback to get in contact with Ebay, and there is already enough evidence to overturn anything that will come negative my way. However, I wonder if this douche canoe can jack up my item, and send it back. Either way it is a headache.

Just another fucking bum. Wins an auction that costs $4 with free shipping. No messages, no payment, nothing. Waste of time.

Ok, I have dealt with hundreds of people since I began collecting video games in the early Nineties. 99 % of them are absolutely recommended, nice individuals. But a few are not. Here is my list of bad traders. Of course I will remove any bad trader here instantly as soon as the case is solved.

JAN WIREN aka JAWA, Finland, last known email address wirenj@arcada.fi

He was a regular at #rgvc in the late 90s and early 00s. I “sold” a lot of stuff to him then, mainly Atari 2600 and Jaguar. Promised payment a dozen times and more, but most of the stuff is still unpaid, total unpaid amount: US$ 179,–

BRETT CRICK, Australia, eBay IDs “slidders” and “junkascheapaschips” and "retrogamesunlimited", last known email address bsj3@bigpond.com

I bought a Dick Smith Wizard lot on ebay from him end of 2003 or so, his ebay ID was “slidders”. Sent him payment via mail as he didn't have a PayPal account. He confirmed receipt of payment, he says that he shipped the parcel, but it never showed up on my side. Sent him several email, first he replied and said he would claim on his post office, but since then he never replied. I never got the parcel nor my money back. Loss for me: EUR 88,33.

In late December 2007 I bought a big Dick Smith Wizzard lot on ebay from a seller with the ID “junkascheapaschips”. I paid via PayPal, the name “Brett Crick” sounded familiar with me, but noticed too late that this was the seller that ripped me off a few years earlier. Unfortunately I had him ship the parcel via sea mail, as the air mail shipping fees were very high. Sea shipping can take up to 2 – 3 months from Australie to Europe, so I had no chance to put a claim on PayPal, it was too late. He promised several times to claim on his post office, but nothing happened. Total price including shipping was AU$ 345.52. In August 2008 he refunded me AU$ 50 to show “good will”, but since then nothing happened. Loss for me: AU$ 295.52, that is apprx. 190 Euro.

So total loss for me with this guy: almost 280 Euro!

Note: NEVER let your parcel be shipped via sea mail from Australia!!

Update: He changed his ebay user name to "retrogamesunlimited" now.

SYLVIE GRAPPIN, 39 Rue de l'Europe, Molesme, Bourgogne 21330, France, eBay ID “charmotte21″, last known email address: lacharmotte21@yahoo.fr

I bought a rare Creativision clone console from her on ebay in May 2008. Paid 265 Euro including shipping via bank transfer, but the parcel never showed up. Absolutely no help from her side. I opened a case on ebay, but she only tried to delay things, promised several times that she would claim on the post office, but again, nothing happened. Total amount lost. In the meantime I heard from another ebay buyer who didn't receive his item from her, he contacted Interpol, let's see what happens …

FERNANDO (& ANA) ROSS, Caracas, Miranda 1080, Venezuela, eBay ID "buysellven", last known email address: fdoross@gmail.com

I bought more than 40 games from him, complete in boxes, mainly for Atari 400/800/XL/XE. He said he shipped the games in two parcels. One of them did not show up at all. Not sure if it got lost on the post way or if he never shipped it. The second parcel arrived after three and a half months(!!!), but in a terrible condition, because the box was too flimsy. Many of the games in this box were damaged, some of the boxes completely destroyed.

First he didn't respond to emails. Then he responded and offered refund if I send the damaged games back. I sent him a list of the damaged games and asked for an address to send them back. Since then he didn't respond to about 10 emails I wrote.

Total loss for me: more than US$ 400, making it the highest loss I ever had in 20 years of video game collecting.

I think that in the meantime Fernando Ross doesn't sell on ebay anymore. His feedback rating is private, which also tells a lot.

Update 01-Oct-2012: It seems that more people got ripped off by Fernando Ross. Some other aggrieved person told us that Fernando Ross' active eBay ID is probably "miferpa01". A previous eBay ID was "sftca". Be careful.

Stay away from this guy. He is deceptive and sells bootleg Rom discs for absurd prices.

He bought a shadows of the empire box for the n64 from me, and when the tracking did not update until the three day mark he left negative feedback saying I didn't ship it the day it says I did (this was thanksgiving weekend btw).

He's opened a case even though the tracking says it's on it's way. Avoid avoid avoid.
