Hi,

I'm writting this to let you guys know about two scumbag ebayers, please block users 77mantle77 and ctjch. These two have single handedly ruined my feedack. Here is an email I sent to ebay regarding this matter:

Hi, I'm writing this as a follow-up to six negative feedbacks i received over the weekend, as I have discover that this is part of a retaliation by another ebay member.

First of all, I'm part of an online trading group called VCT. The master mind behind this whole plan use to be a member of VCT, but got kicked out of the group due to a disagreement with another member. His name is Mike Adams of Bakersfield, Ca and uses the ebay id: 77mantle77. I made a trade with him for a bunch of baseball cards and claimed that I was ripping him off. In the end, I ended up sending all of his cards back. I thought that we were on good terms, but once and a while he will try to contact me through "Ask Seller a Question" function on ebay. Usually swearing at me or calling me childish names.

I was really mad about the fact that I had six negatives posted for me with no information to why they were left as you can see by my follow-up feedback. So I looked into the other negative feedback the buyer ebay id: ctjch aka Curtis Hatton (The one who left me 6 negatives) had left for other sellers. I came across ebay id: gizmoscards, Curtis had given him tow negatives. I contacted gizmoscards and Rick Giddings (The man behind gizmoscards) gave me his phone number and asked me to contact him.

Here's the good part... I found out that Mike Adams and Curtis Hatton are close friends. Rick Giddings let me know about this and has asked me if you need to verify this you can contact him at ###-###-####.

Here's what happen d... since I had blocked 77mantle77 from bidding on my auctions he got his good friend Curtis Hatton to bid on my auctions and than leave me negative feedbacks for no reason at all. He even had the nerve to post this as one of his feedbacks for me:

Auction # 5161580763

"Michael Corlioni from Bakersfield says watch out for this scammer"



Sic ne Curtis is in Mississippi why would he wright this?? I know the names don't match but i be live that he used "Michael Corlioni" to cover-up his friend indemnity.

I will be posting this message to numerous card trading boards to alert collectors an traders about the antics of these two scumbags.

I also ask you to remove these two from ebay parentally and remove all negative feedback that these two have posted for me or for gizmoscards as they are trying to ruin our reputation as seller.

Thank you kindly for looking into this matter.

That really bites. Thanks for the heads up.

It is my opinion that feedback of that sort is not going to be very damaging to your reputation as the negatives are from the same person. When I looked at them I got the feeling right away that the feedback was questionable. If ebay won't remove them, I wouldn't get too worried. I know it makes you upset when you really think that someone is that displeased with your auction as to leave a neg. feedback. I was upset when I got an undeserved neutral. Thing is, there's probably not much esle you can do about it. Alerting others is a good idea. All your positives will speak loudly to potential bidders.

Hope all goes well,
