Here is an eBayer for you to Block...

13hillbid is the user ID. Here is the feedback left for others. Apparently claims never getting items. Seems hard to believe that this many people are screwing him over. Or, perhaps the delivery person is stealing his mail.

  • The E-bay policy that gives the buyer an instant refund when the item is not received, FOR ANY REASON, LOGICAL or ILLOGICAL, is the cause for the blame. Some people see this is an opportunity to get free stuff and it seems that this person has seized the chance to do just that.

    Ebaypaypal require delivery/signature confirmation for this very reason. There are no automatic refunds, they have to be manually initiated by a seller or in the case of non-delivery by ebay/paypal and only after viewing the on-line tracking info to confirm non delivery. Additionally, an item not received has to go through the claim/dispute process that always gives the seller an opportunity to present his case.

    Account will have served it's purpose very shortly pure scam. But kept on a low enough scale so the cops or mail fraud agents don't get involved.

    Yes my wife got defrauded for a small amount and the police said they wouldn't investigate because the value lost was less than $5000

    You are right, it is easy to bust a shop lifter, but takes time to track drown a clown on the net ripping people off. It can be done if the stars alaign and you happen to get a police deptment that has a cop assigned to the internet and he is bored when the call comes in. My wife got ripped 250 on ebay and she talked to the police department in the town where the seller lived and cop knocked on the guys door and the problem was resolved. The other 2 rips did not pan out though.

    Because my thread is not bashing another user. My thread is helping the little guys (and big) who sell on eBay so they do not get defrauded. My thread is in the same vein as those who report on credit card fraud. Actually, Northeast Numismatics (I think) comes to mind. They will post threads on here letting others know about fraudsters out there. I think it is a good thing. As with my thread, their threads do not bash other users. They simply help others avoid fraud.

    If, however, my thread does get nuked, then sobeit. I just like to help people. Have a great day.

  • << <i>

    On the contrary... my thread was a buyer beware thread, the jury just kind of found out the facts and the thread was pulled after the" accused" buddys and pals just reported until it was nuked. At any rate after the "accused" paypal soap opera , and 2nd bad feedback left on my acct, ebay finally stepped in and remedied the situation. I still have the thread filed away, even tho its gone

    P.S. me too and we need more of these thx for the heads up

    The other post may have had some 'bashing' (if that's what you want to call it-- it was the person's opinion based on their experience), but still the seller warned others of the buyer's harassment and tactics to intentionally bypass ebay policy. It was helpful to me and others.

    Here, neither party is even represented. It's speculation about what happened by looking at feedback. Yeah, it's a red flag. But isn't it 'bashing' to accuse someone of fraud without actual facts? Borderline libel? What if their account was hacked? If that's proven to be the case and ebay cleans up their feedback, isn't this person screwed from coin/bullion purchases now?

    I do appreciate posts like this. I also appreciated 'that other post'. Just looking for some uniformity. There appears to be some bias in applying what should be objective forum policy....

    Bookmarks are great but what works even better than having hundreds of bookmarks in a list is to keep folders in your favorites bar, viewable at all times. Folders for different things, like ebay, news, dealers, etc. Folders in your favorites allow you do divide up you favorites into categories. With just two clicks (the folder, then the favorite) you can be anywhere on the web.

    << <i>By the way, was he one of the few left you didn't already have blocked? image >>



    Don't know if that is a question for me, or for someone else. But, I will answer. I only have about 10 to 12 people on my blocked list and most of them date back 5 or more years before eBay started requiring Paypal. They were entered to my block list for bounced checks, non payment, etc. I happened across this user in searching for something else. Once I saw what he was doing over such a short period, I decided not to take a chance.

    This guy is unbelievable, can't even spell. Its obvious he set up the account to steal. Do the poor sellers victimized by him even have any recourse to dispute his scammer phony FB or at least give their side of the story. I much prefer the ebay of the old days.

    Thanks so much for the heads up on this crook!!!!

    Ebay makes it so easy to just outright steal that it's amazing that it's not more common.

    Equally amazing is how mindless that Ebay is in enforcing this. A seller with a thousand FB, 100% pos. and 5/5 DSRs could sell to this crook, the crook claims not received (assuming no Sig. Conf.), empty box, etc and the refund is immediate and seller gets a neg.

    The only constants with Ebay are that the fees and hostility towards sellers goes up and the changes - such as hiding Best Offer prices, etc, etc. are for the worse. This is what you get with no competition.

    I've wondered in cases like that if ebay ever reverses their decisions?
    I mean if they refund a "supposed empty box" then in the future that same buyer pulls it more so it becomes obvious that they were a fraud will ebay look back and make good to the earlier victimized sellers?

    Only ones that may not be up to date is possibility of commerical services like Stamps.com and such.

    Depending on the value of the package (too tired to look it up now) only Signature Confirmation protects against a non-delivery claim - not any other type of tracking.

    None of this protects against the "empty box" claim which makes stealing on Ebay so amazingly simple.

    I shipped a 5 Oz. proof set last week and it cost me $2.04 printing the label here at home.
    BTW the tracking was atomically linked in eBay doing it this way too.

    To answer the last question I buy bubble wrap mailers in bulk and ship anything up to $500.00 in value in them. Over that I use the priority mail small boxes up to $1000.00, above that goes Express mail.

    And because buyers on eBay think shipping has to be free I just add it in the listed price and list it a "free shipping" like eBay forces sellers to do if you want the ratings.
