Another example of eBay reacting WAY too late with a scumbag.

This guy should have been NARU'd long ago.

Brick and Mortar dealer, hijacked account?

Most of the negs were in the last month.

Bunker · October 21, 2006 4:18AM

Man that is insane. I have never seen so many negs. I guess some people don't check feedback before they bid.

No, it's him. This dealer used to work the show circuit in my area until the other dealers started refusing to do business with him. His deterioration on eBay comes as no surprise.

561 negatives in the last month!!!!!!! I wonder if that is a new Ebay record???

MYTWOCENTS · October 21, 2006 4:33AM

I still think it's up to biders to be smart and look at the sellers feedback. The little praise in his feedback was funny to read.

RichieURich · October 21, 2006 4:42AM

Russ, you're right, eBay was lax in NARU'ing this guy. Please alert us when he sets up his new ID on eBay.

TwoSides2aCoin · October 21, 2006 4:46AM

He could just be having a bad day

okay, a bad week....
bad month ?

Pentimento · October 21, 2006 4:48AM

What is really SAD is that i counted 28 different instances where people left POSITIVE feedback saying that he scammed them. Some of these were mistakes, but there are 10 people who were actually too afraid of receiving retaliatory negatives to tell the truth!

ABC123 · October 21, 2006 4:48AM

Before he went down in flames, he had to have the one-month record for negative feed-back !

coinnut86 · October 21, 2006 4:53AM

He seems to be a master at picking out a great name though.

Russ · October 21, 2006 5:17AM

They were also clickandship, and that handle has also been NARU'd.

But, not before a bunch more bidders got screwed.

Russ, NCNE

BlindedByEgo · October 21, 2006 5:25AM

Still shows open BIN's.

Good riddance to bad sellers.

Hey wait - where's Notwilight to speak to the opposition?

They probably didn't act too late.... I imagine that they acted after he paid his eBay fees in full.

Timing is everything.

BobaFett72 · October 21, 2006 6:16AM

this highlights (in my opinion) Ebays greatest weakness, poor customer service and its inability to respond quickly to problems. everything with them is filling out forms and emails. Live Help is a total joke. Their 800 number is not for common folk or even low level powersellers.

My thoughts EXACTLY...thats obscene!

More like clickandskip

Hey RUSS, the clickandship negs came up a week or so ago on the boards, we all said something must have happened to the dealer (sic/funeral etc.) then it was only 25 negs...WOW things really got ugly fast!

clackamas · October 21, 2006 6:36AM

I had someone crack my password this week. I got an email that my password had changed, and it had. Luckily I got it that instant and clicked the I forgot my password and reset it to somehting very hard to crack. this could have happend here and the guy was powerless to do anything.

PhillyJoe · October 21, 2006 6:44AM

Possibly got highjacked, but couldn't the real owner do something to alert ebay within a month's time?

The best/worst comment: "Hopefully the guy is sick, dead or in jail".

If that were the case, they could still answer their phone. They don't. No matter what time you call, it's nothing but a recording. And, it happened with two different accounts. And, the hijacker would also have to have access to the site where they host their images.

Russ · October 21, 2006 7:12AM

And, something else that's interesting. Their old site, coinuts.com now redirects to coinshop.com where a splash screen appears announcing that the site is coming soon. Both domains are owned by the same guy.

This seller will kindly take ALL of your money and not send you anything.
You like to donate to the poor? You found the right place. Send it to this guy.
Wonder if 10,000 VMOA members would like to take a ride to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho?

Interesting....

Soooo many Negs.

Poor Buyers...

TKC!

slipgate · October 21, 2006 7:20AM

Maybe he died?

notwilight · October 21, 2006 8:12AM

<< Maybe he died? >>

Almost looks like it. but according to Russ, who knew him before, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. but Russ has also found evidence that he is opening up a new internet storefront. It doesn't make sense to me to throw away that many positive's in his very longstanding account but, again, this guy wasn't a good businessman.

Finally, when you stiff that many people the police eventually knock on your door.

Well a lot of those negs are from auctions as much as two months or more old, and he was still listing as of Oct 10th.

Warning sign #1: "Comming Soon........."

A scammer with poor grammar!
