eBay sellers - save yourself some grief and block this idiot "solange714". UPDATE

Russ · July 15, 2005 8:22AM

Update 7.22.05: A Post Office internal trace reveals that a delivery notice for the package was left on 6.29.05. The package has not been returned to me so, according to the USPS people, it's safe to assume he picked it up.

Update part two: eBay has NARU'd the POS.

Click here to read the details about solange714.

It's a long read since I included all the eMail back and forth with this moron.

Russ, I think you overreacted with the threat comments. That being said, he was clearly in the wrong. My suggestion, kill 'em with kindness...Mike

LucyBop · July 15, 2005 8:29AM

done...

Russ · July 15, 2005 8:32AM

<< <i>Russ, I think you overreacted with the threat comments. >>

What are you talking about? He threatened me.

Russ, NCNE

Dog97 · July 15, 2005 8:32AM

Yeah what an idiot!! grrrrr........
Russ you were pretty nice to that guy. I remember 1 time when I asked you if you took credit cards and you threatened me with a shotgun.

Myqqy · July 15, 2005 8:34AM

I'm glad that I haven't run into yahoos like that the few times I've sold coins on ebay.....

LeeG · July 15, 2005 8:41AM

Blocked. Sounds like someone with too much time on their hands. Just stand's by the mailbox everyday waiting on deliveries.

ms70 · July 15, 2005 8:46AM

Thank you Russ. I appreciate the heads-up!

Barry · July 15, 2005 8:48AM

Blocked! What an idiot!

Seems like he pulled this before, hence the neg:
Buyer rushes to leave negative comments w/o communicating w/seller.

Russ, you aren't going to neg him?

BigE · July 15, 2005 8:52AM

oh goodie, I don't feel so bad anymore, I thought you only got these kind of devils when you sold my coins

relayer · July 15, 2005 8:54AM

I didn't bother to read it - I just proceeded directly to the blocking part.

ksteelheader · July 15, 2005 8:56AM

Blocked!

Russ · July 15, 2005 8:57AM

<< <i>Russ, you aren't going to neg him? >>

Unfortunately I posted positive feedback when he paid. Thanks to him I'm now modifying that policy and will be checking the bidder more carefully before posting feedback. Had I done so with this idiot I would have seen a history of unreasonable behavior. He did the same thing to another forum member on a $10 PCGS Lincoln.

Russ, NCNE

RYK · July 15, 2005 8:57AM

This is but one reason why I would rather have you sell coins for me.

TWQG · July 15, 2005 8:59AM

Russ you were too nice. Blocked and debating going after him myself for some fun.

Three cheers for RYK's visit

sinin1 · July 15, 2005 9:17AM

wow - you insured for $51 - should have told him to start the insurance claim paperwork and send it to you.

I have had some buyers 'claim' they did not receive item - on $10 items - I tell them I will refund but add to my feedback for them and say 'refunded because buyer claimed never received shipment - sellers beware'

I think some buyers are scammers and even though they got a good deal, they want a better deal

Russ · July 15, 2005 9:21AM

sinin1,

Funny you should bring that up. I have a hunch that once it hits the 21 days and I can check on it through the post office that I'll find that the package was actually delivered.

Russ, NCNE

BigD5 · July 15, 2005 9:34AM

But Russ, did you check to see if his package is sitting on the shelf at HIS PO?

Actually, if you ask your PO, VERY NICELY to check on the blue insured ticket, they can do an internal tracking of the item, and find out if the package did indeed land at his PO. I'll get 3 or 4 of these situations a year (thankfully the buyers aren't unreasonable idiots such as yours is here, in this situation) and when I ask NICELY, they do a tracking for me (I do remember a couple of times that they asked me to come back the next day for an update on the package when they were busy) and almost 100% of the time, the package is indeed at the customers PO, but it has been misplaced or mishandled.

AccentonCoins · July 15, 2005 10:29AM

Thanks for the heads up. Its tough hold back feedback until they leave feedback, too hard to keep track of, i do 400-500 auctions a month, its tough with no leverage, after you leave pos, you are at their mercy.

The only negatives I get are on cheap stuff, i never have a problem on expensive items. For example, a 21 morgan for $6 and they leave a negative about a scratch on the coin(visible in the photo). Or my most aggrivating one was one i got from a buyer complaining that i sent him the WRONG COLOR SHOES!! Seing how im a coin dealer and have never sold clothes on ebay that one was tough.

Russ · July 16, 2005 7:02AM

TTT.

nankraut · July 16, 2005 12:05PM

I am on a first name basis with my PO clerks. They are more than happy to do the above for me. I saved 2 problems that way.

I will read the link provided in an earlier post and will probably add solange to my blocked list...

USC · July 16, 2005 1:18PM

Your first reply had an arrogant edge. He is a jackass, though.

Shamika · July 17, 2005 1:35AM

Cameonut · July 17, 2005 2:03AM

Thanks Russ

I also blocked solange - so long!

VTCoins · July 17, 2005 2:16AM

I blocked him.

Dog97 · July 17, 2005 5:30AM

Funny thing; I was looking at Sample Slabs last night and this same guy has some that I need. Oh well, don't need the hassle plus his feedback is atrocious.
Thanks for the heads up Russ.

Casey · July 17, 2005 5:51AM

Thanks for the heads up Russ.

Would someone be kind enough to direct me to the Ebay section that allows you to block bidders? I've blocked bidders before, but everytime I try to find that section again I struggle.

Thanks!

Atlantic · July 17, 2005 6:02AM

Thanks Russ,,,,, Blocked

DennisH · July 17, 2005 7:17AM

Even though we don't sell much, I've blocked him too.

Casey, you may want to look here for this:
"Blocked Bidder/Buyer List
Set up a list of bidders/buyers who will no longer be able to bid on, or purchase, your listings. The list will apply to all your items. You can add or delete bidders/buyers at any time.
Add an eBay user to my Blocked Bidder/Buyer List"

WANNABEDEALER · July 17, 2005 10:39AM

by paypal rules require tracking for seller protection. he can charge it back and you are out of luck, unless you can get his signature on the other form confirmed by the post office. just shipping it insured does not protect you.

Russ · July 22, 2005 2:31AM

Bump for update.

Russ, NCNE

dbldie55 · July 22, 2005 2:50AM

I suspect he got the package without actually having to sign for it, and wanted to turn it around on you. The only problem with the $1.30 insurance is there is no signature required, but in this case you went with the extra 90 cents to get the signature required insurance.

GaCoinGuy · July 22, 2005 11:20AM

The sig required isn't foolproof..........I bought some darkside gold coins from a seller who sent them sig required, and I found them on my front steps, not up against the house, but on the steps when I got home.

streeter · July 22, 2005 11:33AM

I have smoeone sell my coins on ebay. Does a pretty decent job with the photos. Anybody need a good reference, PM me.

Coins on ebay are for pros, trix are for kids.
