Take a look at this.....I'm just saying "No"

I just bought one of these sets and I'm kind of curiously watching others comparitively.

At first it seems cool. The China / Taiwain thing made me cringe slightly then I saw the feedback. Ten feedbacks from 0 feedback sellers and the item links point to a whole lot of nothing. Looks to me like somebody established a small 100% feedback then went right after the big score. Let's see, they say no Paypal because they are in China but he can get to eBay??? Aren't eBay and Paypal, like the same company???? Then it says something about Taiwain, then it says Great Britian only, then it says worldwide shipping. I'm steering way clear of this one.

Of course I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. You could ask my ex-wife.

SCAM?!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    someone ought to turn in that listing to the .com in the picture for him using it as he probably doesn't even have the set to begin with

    He had different pictures before that were from another auction in the last day or so. Now he's got this photo up from rareusagold or something.

    He's not content with the small score. He's going for 6 or 7K

    Isn't he...rightful owner of the picture...a board member? I've been on the site before and it's nice. The web site is for Robert B. Lecce out of DelRay Beach FL.

  • The seller has ten different feedback's from ten individuals with one feedback each. Of those ten, all received their single feedback from the same person, lairr3

    lairr3 needs to work on his criminal skills.

    Go figure.

  • Then it gets better, lairr3 has received his last 9 purchase feedbacks from individuals who all have 21 feedbacks each. So far were talking dozens and dozens of screen names, a full time job leaving F/B back and forth.

    Heres a few flags that popped out at me......................


    "1. We ship the package within 24 hours after the payment cleared."
    "2. The shipment usually takes 3-7 business days."


    Further down..............

    "Everything I offer always comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee If you are not 100% completely satisfied with anything you purchase from me, please return it within 3 days of auction's end,"

    and further.........

    "Completion of your purchase is expected within 1 day of Auction Close."

    "Unpaid auction wins will be forfeited after one (1) days and a Non-Payer report will be filed with eBay to recover the closing fees of the auction. "

    So if I read this right..........they will ship within 3-7 days, but you only have 3 days after the auction end to return it? And if you don't pay up within 24 hours, they will neg you and file a NPB?

    This guy is funny...............

    What's really funny is that the idiot left himself feedbacks under some of his bogus "seller" accounts that read like they are from a buyer.

    all of his feedbacks were left within a 20 minute time span...amazing. he doesn`t even have those coins.
    my ebay items BST transactions/swaps/giveaways with: Tiny, raycyca,mrpaseo, Dollar2007,Whatafind, Boom, packers88, DBSTrader2, 19Lyds, Mar327, pontiacinf, ElmerFusterpuck.
  • And all 10 that left the feedback have been members since Feb-25-06. Hmm whats the odds of your only 10 feedbacks coming from 10 different sellers that all joined ebay on the same day?? SCAM

    << <i>Fast delivery. Great condition. Thank you so much >>

    So his payment got there fast and the money was in great shape?..lol

    I reported the seller to ebay..I sent this message to the bay.



    << <i>I believe this seller is trying to pull a scam. The auction is using a copyrighted picture lifted form this sellers auction (rareusgold 8427816122). Seller has 10 feedbacks all from sellers that have a single feedback and all joined ebay on Feb-25-06. All the auctions won by k9103295 ended on jun-2-06 all within 20 minutes of each other and all for the same amount. All 10 also got their single feedback on Jun-2-06 also all within a 20 minute period. If this doesn't say SCAM I dont know what does. >>



    Now to wait and see if they do anything about it. Most likely I will get kicked off for rocking the ebay boat.

    I also reported this scammer to Safeharbor yesterday (when there was about 5 hours left on the auction).
    It appears that one of the robots at eBay actually did the right thing for once and cancelled the auction.
  • I would be curious how many $'s this board saves people per month by getting
    bogus auctions shut down.
