Where do these new sellers come up with so many high grade cards?
I wish I had his contacts.

Here's my favorite. The guy obviously doesn't know what he's talking about!

What's the best way to categorize this mess as a report to ebay?

And if that's not good enough - in this one item which is up to a grand - there's the potential for a little
shill bidding going on!!!!

Shill? ck2005redsox

Damn there's only 12 hrs left!

All of those great cards... 68 Mantle, 52 Mays, 52 Robinson... yet the UD Griffey Jr. is up to over $850. Hmmmmm..

Seraph

Odd that his feedback is only from sellers, nothing from buyers. Funny that the only thing he bought those nine times were LeBron and Jordan items. Nothing of baseball. Does he even own the cards he is selling? And what the hell is this???!?!!?!?!?!

Remobolan

Has anyone tried to actually read his comments. My five year old son could spell better. Pleas injoy ur perchass. What a moron! Only accepts paypal and the auction must be paid for within 24 hours? Maybe he has a flight to catch? How could you bid on items like that with a seller like that? I need to find these people and sell them something!!!!????

MooseDog

I think it's pretty obvious the "seller" does not live in the US. That would explain the grammar and spelling problems, and if you notice he's offering FREE Global Express shipping, but charging $10.95 in the US!

Anyone who wins and pays for these auctions is in trouble.

I would imagine that he will make out with a mint. I wonder if he is using a stolen credit card or if he is just using his own kowing nothing will happen to him in his crappy country.

Yeah, this guy looks like all his auctions are ending today, and it looks like he is indeed going to

"make out like a bandit" That s~u~c~k~s!

YOWZA!

I love this little feel-good tagline "all the transaction will go through PAYPAL ONLY.i think its the best way to protect both of us. so nothing to worry about for any farud or any illegal actions here. if there is anything wrong with the items we sold, i will do the full refund for you. so enjoy ur bidding and thanx for watching"

BTW, anyone notice he's NARU'd now? Not sure how or why, but it's a good thing.

ctsoxfan

And, all of the items are now gone! Another scam put to bed...though, I am sure we haven't seen the last of him.

Stone193

Did anyone else turn this stuff in?

I was affraid I was too late getting it in.

Glad to see this end. The only thing some people would have got for their money is heartache!

edit: thanx for the post Alohaet!

Link to scammers completed auctions

Nice job guys! Sorry to rain on the parade but this scammer POS still had completed over $10k worth of auctions that ended September 4th - I hope somehow these buyers can quickly get warned.

I could be wrong, but there was a thread on not too long ago about a scammer who used the EXACT same wording as that. I am sure I remember the little "So nothing to worry about" thing before

Boopotts

I actually emailed this guy about the SGC '52 Mantle and asked him to email me scans of the front and back of the card. He said he'd 'try and get to it', although-- surprise-- I never received a scan of the back of the card.

BigtimeBowmanfan

Same request from me on the mantle................and guess what? Same canned answer.

rbdjr1

Well it looks like he did make out like the bandit he his:

HIS FINAL PRICES REALIZED!

<< <i>Same request from me on the mantle................and guess what? Same canned answer. >>




That's just the sure tip off right there. If he sends me that scan I may drop 5-8K on his cards, but I don't think I've ever seen a legitimate seller pass on that request when they're auctioning a high dollar item.

At some point the powers that be are going to crack down on Ebay scams, if only because too many people will have been burnt. Can you imagine the sick feeling you'd have right now if you had just won and paid for one of his cards? I can't believe wholesale rip offs like this will persist, with Ebay being as big as it is, so all we can do is wait...

I e-mailed a couple of the "winners" and asked them if they completed their transactions yet. One guy that paid $2,500 plus for a Pujols e-mailed me back and told me that he had already sent the scammer the money via paypal. Ouch!

That does hurt - I feel bad for the guy. This scammer is probably all set to get ready to move into another apartment somewhere possibly/probably out of state...so that he is difficult to find and even more difficult to prosecute. Some of these scammers seem to have this down to a science. Don't forget...we are just looking at baseball cards...wouldn't surprise me one bit if this POS also has other scams now going at the same time in coins or stamps or auto parts or could be anything, again...all at about the same time when he's getting ready to move. Then he has his booty, lives off it until devising another similar ebay scam, opens up another bank account, another PayPal account, another ebay account, does the usual Photoshop stuff, and then does the same thing again. The only solution I can see, besides as Boo pointed out with ebay doing more, much more, is to find ways of throwing these vermin in jail - stiff prison sentences! Otherwise this crap is going to go on and on, and each "successful" scam in our hobby winds up detracting from it.

WinPitcher

sent the scammer the money via paypal.

Can't he just call paypal and have the money taken out of the scammer's acct.?

I highly doubt this guy lives in the US and thus nothing will happen to him.
