AVOID NETFAN5/BASECARDKING(EBAY)-PLEASE READ!

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 1:00PM

This message is to inform you that Mr.Ralph Macchia a.k.a.Netfan5(Ebay id:basecardking) is a liar and a thief.
This story is a bit long but please let me speak my peace so that others don't have to deal with this despicable person.
On May 2nd,2004 a person with the Ebay user id basecardking won a 2003-04 Ultimate Collection Zoran Planinic autographed rookie card(#4127042310).
The buyer paid via Paypal on May 4th,2004 and the card was shipped out on May 7th,2004
I did not send with delivery confirmation but I do have the receipt that shows the buyers city,state and zip.
This person contacted me on May 16th,2004 and asked me to leave feedback.
I emailed him back and said I would prefer it if he left it first.My reasoning was that he left some bad feedback for a previous transaction because he didn't care for that person's shipping rates and I wasn't about to leave something positive for him and then get slammed because he didn't care for my shipping rates as well.
So after telling him that he said that he would be taking it up with Paypal because he hadn't received his card yet.
I told him to feel free to do what he had to do but that he didn't take insurance and that it was really out of my hands at that time.
Now is where it gets good.After doing some searching I found that Netfan5 was posting on the CU boards on May 16th,2004 and asking people to rate his Zoran Planinic collection.And guess what card he had listed there.The one he claimed to have never gotten! Now granted he could have a duplicate of the one he won from me,but on his list he had an incoming section with cards listed that he was waiting to get in from people.That list made no mention of an Ultimate Collection Zoran auto rookie he was supposedly waiting for.
After putting two and two together I contacted him and told him about figuring out that he was Netfan5 on the CU boards.
Well he had the nerve to deny that it was him even though in another post he was mentioned by name by another CU board member.I contacted this board member and asked if this was indeed the person I suspected it was and was told that it was!
Now since I didn't send it with delivery confirmation this little scammer and liar will most likely get his money back because Paypal will take his side and not mine.
Stay away from this person and make sure to put him on your blocked bidders list on Ebay.

P.S.-This person also has a trading website with this gem listed under his trader rules:

"Buy/Sell Policy:If you buy from me and you choose not to pay for/use
insurance I am not responsible for lost or damaged mail.This is my policy
and if you don't like it don't bother & don't waste my time."

I guess this person doesn't believe in practicing what he preaches!

Netfan5 · May 18, 2004 1:26PM

I dont even have an ebay account. So because Planinic is a nobody you think there is only one person in the world that collects him? Get a life loser & get your facts straight.

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 1:33PM

Keep digging that hole you liar!!!
Now in this email that you sent me you claim to only buy on Ebay and that you don't trade.
So which is it you liar??

I would just like to let you know, that i am not netfan5 from CU. I only use ebay and i buy only, i do no trading if i have to i will. I'm sorry to burst your bubble on this one. I just hope you have a tracking # a recipt isn't going to cut it for paypal.

Netfan5 · May 18, 2004 1:41PM

?

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 1:46PM

That's right pal.You are clueless and you can't keep your stories straight anymore.
You say on here you don't have an Ebay account but yet the email I just posted above says that you only use Ebay.
Your name is right there "Ralph Macchia" and it has been verified by another user on this board that you are indeed Netfan5.
This board member has over 4000 posts so I tend to believe what they have told me.
You may end up getting your money back because Paypal will take the side of a liar but I will do everything to trash you in the meantime.
I have all the proof I need!

Xtrainningscards · May 18, 2004 2:00PM

I would hope that since it sounds like the user is taking advantage of this with PayPal, that PayPal will notice that the person is using this quite often which I am sure he is, and will eventually close his account.

WildcatThrower · May 18, 2004 2:02PM

Hmmm... how much do you charge for shipping bwf?

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 2:03PM

We can only hope.
I have two seller accounts with close to 1,600 positive feedbacks so I am all about good service.
This person can't keep his story straight and it's sad that someone would go through all of this for $11.00 and some change.

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 2:05PM

I charge $2.25 which includes a fresh bubble mailer and a securely packed card with two slabs of cardboard and a team bag for even more protection.
Many buyers have stated that I have some of the best packaged cards on Ebay so I think my price is more then fair!

Netfan5 · May 18, 2004 2:06PM

hmm 2 sellers accounts isnt that illegal on ebay? Hmmm can u say shiller, keep accusing me of things.

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 2:10PM

Afraid not!

KBryant1 · May 18, 2004 2:17PM

Netfan5 · May 18, 2004 2:20PM

Hmmm, im a scammer now too, do a search under my user name netfan5 and see all the positives there is.

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 2:25PM

kbryant1,

This email address below is the person who won the card from me on Ebay.
It is also the same name that has been verified by another CU user that has dealt with him and confirms that Netfan5 and Ralph Macchia is the same person.
I sent the email with all headers intact to show it wasn't forged.
Ralph Macchia=Netfan5=basecardking!

Ralph Macchia <basecardking@yahoo.com>

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 2:29PM

Netfan5 said:"I dont even have an ebay account. So because Planinic is a nobody you think there is only one person in the world that collects him? Get a life loser & get your facts straight."

Gee I thought Netfan5 doesn't have an Ebay account as stated above.
But here it is!

Netfan5's Ebay Account That He Claims Not To Have!

Here is Netfan5's Other Account He Claims Not To Have!

Netfan5 · May 18, 2004 2:36PM

keep accusing me of stuff you cant prove, and wow i have an ebay account i completely didnt even remember have LOL(Netfan5). Ill make sure not to bid on your auctions, lowlife. What is your ID?

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 2:37PM

Sorry but you have been blocked.
I have more then proved you to be a liar and a hypocrite.
The truth will always win in the end.

VCKid15 · May 18, 2004 3:18PM

Hmmm, anyone wonder why Netfan5's profile is off?

Easy way to tell if they are the same person, MATCH THE ADDRESS AND NAME!!

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 3:26PM

Well I have that information from a very reliable source on the board plus check out this link

Look at who Duncangal thanks in her response to Netfan5!

Xtrainningscards · May 18, 2004 4:34PM

As far as I know multiple accounts are not an eBay no no, are you aware how many different accounts, Dave and Adams have on ebay, one of the biggest on line sellers?

brianwintersfan · May 18, 2004 4:39PM

They are not against Ebay policy as long as each one has a different user id and it's own email account.
That's just Netfan5's way of trying to divert attention away from his lies.
He got caught plain and simple!

8kobe · May 19, 2004 2:43AM

Actually just to lyk two accounts on ebay is not illegal. I have seen it tons of times and have asked a representative of ebay about it before

brianwintersfan · May 19, 2004 10:37PM

ttt

brianwintersfan · May 20, 2004 1:44PM

vladdyraddy77 · May 20, 2004 2:07PM

netfan's a great trader...and i collect plaininic too so he surely isnt the only one...you may want to find proof first next time

dherm360 · May 20, 2004 2:41PM

Isnt Ralph Maccia the Karate Kid???? C'mon the Karate Kid wouldnt scam.
Never heard a bad word about Nets

brianwintersfan · May 20, 2004 2:52PM

FIND PROOF!!!!!

I have all the proof I need and if you would have read the post you would see it as well.

LIE #1:Netfan5 is Ralph Macchia.When asked if he was he lied.This was confirmed by another board member.

LIE #2:In an email he sent me Ralph stated that Netfan5 wasn't him because he only uses Ebay.

LIE #3:Then Netfan5(Who is Ralph) stated on here that he doesn't have an Ebay account because he only trades.Well he actually has two Ebay accounts:basecardking and netfan5.

I have all of his emails and they are filled with nothing but contradictions.I guess he didn't realize that when he decided to try and pull this scam he was going to be dealing with someone who had an I.Q.that was higher then that of a house plant!
This person has choose to ruin his reputation over a $11.24 card
I am an excellent Ebay seller and have sold cards ranging from $2.00 to $450.00
Does anyone with half a brain think that if I was going to rip someone off I would do it for $11.24??
The answer is no!
Because I sent this to an unconfirmed address I will end up having to give this liar his money back but I have more then got my money's worth by showing what a liar this person is.
Ebay is filled with people like this.And I'm sure that I will be there long after he crawls back under the rock he came from!

euphoria18 · May 21, 2004 4:38AM

What address did you ship to brianwintersfan? Do you still have it? IF you do... it should be simple to find out if it is the same person... all you need to do is get someone who has traded with him to confirm the address.

brianwintersfan · May 21, 2004 5:01AM

I already have confirmation from a very reliable source on this board that Netfan5 is indeed Ralph Macchia.
I just got off the phone with Paypal and even though I had to refund his money because I sent to an unconfirmed address they were notified that this person was a fraud and they will be watching his account.
Plus the fact that everyone on here can see what a liar he is was well worth the $11.24 I had to send back.
Honesty and the truth will always win in the end!
