    Who is this seller and what makes them so hated?

    Is anyone actually surprised?

    This is an old account they've had stashed for years. Wonder how many more just like it they've got?

    Essentially, eBay did nothing but give these scammers a different venue in which to rip people on.

    Clearly, it's going to take a class action suit, it's going to take the stockholders to get involved, something stronger is needed. Bad publicity for eBay may be the only thing short of legal action against these scammers who need to be in jail.

    EBay needs to be hit with a lot of complaints and I mean a lot of them and quickly. This is worse than before because they have a clean slate again. image

    Do a google search on pjd1966 and you'll have several hours of reading material. Then come back see where this thread has gone in the meantime.

    Some of those *almost* look authentic. Maybe they are building up the real feedback and then get the chumps later. Someone buy one and let us know.

    Any takers?image

    I guess the big question is.........<drum roll please>................does eBay care?

    I suppose we'll find out soon enough, but realistically, I'm not holding my breath. I doubt eBay has any legal exposure at this point so I'm thinking they just tried to massage the angry crowd with the first NARU. How many man hours have gone into all the reporting of them that everyone has done so far?

    As we stand right now, eBay's message is that crime does pay. image

    100proof1957, what is your plan? If Ebay really cares, they will already have more than enough information with which to suspend this other account.

    Well, this is outstanding!!

    Now we just have to keep on them because you know they will keep trying with other IDs.

    Somewhere in Savanna, Pan and Jim are having an arguement and blaming each other, bet on it.

    If there is truly someone on eBay taking note, this is the time to recommend the end to PRIVATE auctions and the ability of sellers to HIDE THEIR FEEDBACK.

    The sellers feedback is a gauge for bidders to know if the seller is worth a crap or not.

    As someone else mentioned the only venue for a PRIVATE auction may be PimageRN...but I think all auctions should be visible to prevent this fraudulent misuse IMHO.

    You don't need to wait for an auction to end to pull contact info. You can pull it while the auction is still up, as long as you are a bidder.
  • krankykranky Posts: 8,709 ✭✭✭
    I'd love to know what ebay told them the second time. I'm assuming that they were big enough to have merited some personal contact and not a boilerplate email when they got NARU'd.

    So if for the sake of discussion they were going to get a 30-day suspension before, would trying to get around the suspension merit a harsher penalty from ebay?

    I just had to bump this to the top one more time.

    It's like that old joke about the man going to the White House and asking to see Bill Clinton. The guard finally says, "look you've been coming here for weeks asking the same question and I tell you everyday that he's not the President anymore." The man says, "I know, but it just feels so good to hear it everytime."
