Do not buy from this ebayer!!!

AlbertanDude

I don't know if this chap's name has been mentioned here but I will do so in case others lose hard earned cash like I have.

Avoid this seller on ebay by the handle of candiman11

He sells lots of old baseball cards and he takes forever to deliver his stuff.....but that isn't the worse part!

He sent me about 630 dollars worth of 50's baseball cards..specifically 3 cards...Mantle, Musial and Berra that were not properly described...fair enough..he said return
them and I did and he acknowledged that he recd my cards and promised that he was going to refund me...that was back in early August and I have been emailing him
since as to where my refund via paypal is but he hasn't responded since...a real sleaze bag...

The funny thing is he was honest at first but turned into a dishonest seller later on....go figure...

Anyways, do yourselves a favor and do avoid ......my handle on ebay is 'albertanator' and I do have a 100 percent rating so I want you to know I am not making this up.

630 smackers down the drain unless ebay or paypal will help me but because it is an older transaction I don't know if I am going to have any luck.

If this isn't the right forum to warn other buyers of this dishonest ebayer, please point out to where I should be posting.

Thanks

Did you send them back with delivery confirmation?

How did you pay the transaction?

Sorry to hear about your problems.

AlbertanDude

Hi hhmag....I didn't send them back with confirmation because in the past he had refunded me honestly.....but what I do have is an email from
him on my ebay page acknowledging he recd the cards back and promised to refund me...that was in early August and I kept emailing him
as to when he would refund me and he hasn't responded since????

Very frustrating ........ but I am trying to get hold of ebay and paypal as I did pay through paypal.....

I am awaiting a response from ebay or paypal instead of their automated replies....

I am appalled to say the least....

Thanks

I'm not judging, but with his feedback, why did you buy from him in the first place?

drewsef

you're screwed unfortunately, there's no sensible reason you shouldn't have used delivery confirmation at the least

storm888

Not a good circumstance.

Since the 45-day limit has passed, EBAY/PP will not wanna
be too much help.

If you paid by credit card, you can do a chargeback thru
the card company.

NEVER make a return w/o using Delivery Confirmation on
items under $250, and Signature Confirmation on items
of $250 or more. (An email acknowledging receipt of the
returned items is seldom/never of any value in a PP claim.)

I agree

I hope it works out for you.
As stated above if you used a credit card with Paypal you can do a chargeback.

And, his conduct has been discussed here before.

AlbertanDude

Guys what you say is true...I have been buying and selling ebay for 7 years and usually I will buy
from someone with over 99 percent rating but I do so with reticence.......and now I have likely paid
the price for lack of wisdom.

Like I said, earlier on I got some good raw stuff off of him and had it graded quite well which I sold
for a decent price....everything was rosy early on but in the last few months it all went to pot.

Long sighhhhhh.....at least I can warn others of my own stupidity and candiman's dishonesty!

Dpeck100

Wow!! I don't by vintage Baseball but that is some heavy feedback. There are to many not satisfied customers to pay up for this sellers cards. Good luck with your quest and hopefully you used a credit card.

I have never returned an item on EBAY but using the CC via PayPal is double protection in the event you want to try and dispute.

AlbertanDude

So Storm888, candiman has been mentioned here before...interesting...I wish I had seen it earlier....

Devon

AlbertanDude

I did use a credit card..my Visa....is there hope for me yet? I have been fairly well treated
buying and selling on ebay so this faux pas is my first screw up....

Devon

AlbertanDude

Can you guys tell me the process of how to do a chargeback through my credit card? I have never done this operation before?

Thanks

Devon

odd.....i did a search of the forums last nite on the very same seller assuming i'd find a recent thread, but it must have been swept under the rug.

anyways, my question is answered. avoid.

Thank god useful threads about scumbags never go POOF on this board

Dpeck100

Call them and explain what happened, they will tell you from there. Provide your email from the seller and they will slap him imediatelyis my belief. You should be fine I think. I am no expert but I know the CC companies don't play, the proof of burden is on the seller as far as I know. Perhaps others know more here.

yeah, well, i got a memory like an elephant in a steel trap.

AlbertanDude

Dpeck thanks for the advice....I will do so...I do have an email from him in my ebay account acknowledging the return
of the cards and his promise to refund me.....I kept it just in case...

And I'm glad that this thread has helped at least one person avoid being ripped off.

Call the issuing bank or financial institution the number IIRC is on the card or your bill.

Thanks for the heads up.

earlycalguy

the chargeback is between you and paypal and not the seller. your transaction is with paypal and not the seller directly. your credit card would get the money from paypal and then paypal would get their money from the seller.

//////////////////////////////////////

Yup.

If one has a "relationship" with PP, the gang will
sometimes "relax" the 45-day limit - and other
defects in a claim - if they are given a heads-up
that a credit-card chargeback is about to go down.

PP is always the merchant of record and they, like
all merchants, wanna have as few CBs as possible.

Yeah, I'll second that, especially scumbags that start with a "K" !!

It's not over - you can go thru small claims court. Most jurisdictions will allow you to file by mail. I would definitively tell him you are going to do this and he may not respond until he is served the legal papers from the court, and at that point the defendant usually does respond, many times with doing what you want them to do, as they don't want the hassles and expense of going to small claims court.

You can Google small claims court to get more info about the pros and cons of filing.

///////////////////////////////////////////////


For clarity, most states do not permit small-claims filings
against out-of-state defendant persons/entities.

A few states do.

Most states - maybe all - allow such filings in claims regarding
automobile accidents.

Most states allow filings against OOS corporations ONLY if those
corps have a "registered agent" in the filing state who is authorized
to accept service of legal process.

Many states allow filings against OOS Defs who own real property in
the filing state.

It's a complicated path and you need to talk to your court's clerk
before you commence chasing an out of state Def in small claims
court.

There are some "easy" work-arounds available, but they require
the investment of time/money that cannot/may not be recouped if
you win your case. They also require sophistication levels beyond
those of most consumers.


.....................................



THIS matter can be resolved most easily via a credit-card chargeback.


..............................

There seems to be a false notion that threads here regarding the instant
bad seller have been poofed. They have NOT been poofed.

There are several such "warning threads" easily found in the "search" feature.

Blacklabelsociety

If the guy does a cc chargeback and the seller does not have the funds available in his paypal account, paypal will have to pay at their expense.

How/why does Ebay allow him to continue???

Yeah, never see a thread go "bye bye" here if it outs a dishonest seller

AlbertanDude

Guys, thanks for all your insight and help....I will contact VISA and see if they can get my money back through paypal....

Devon

AlbertanDude

Steve do you mean the issuing bank of my VISA card? I am very illiterate at these matters as I have never
been ripped off like this before.....

Thanks

Yes, that is a place to start.

I have no idea why long time members post names/phrases of terms that they know get threads poofed.

Seriously, please go back and edit your post.

Thank you.

As long as it's not in the title I see no problem.

Just turn your visa card over, and call the number on the back. Customer service should make very quick business of this. As long as you are in good standing, and don't have numerous other chargebacks or other red flags, then you should easily get your money back from the credit card company. In fact, they will probably temporarily deduct the money from your credit card for now until it is permanently removed. I cannot stress enough how important it is to do a credit card chargeback in this situation. I have done more than one chargeback in my life, and every one of them was very simple, successful, and painless. I would ask for all monies that were charged to your credit card.
