How long before we see "no longer a registered user"?

pheh · October 9, 2009 12:44PM

I'm amazed he has lasted this long.

fcloud · October 9, 2009 12:44PM

Just simply fee avoidance.

WoodenJefferson · October 9, 2009 12:44PM

Ahhhhhhh...I see no problem with this seller, he's selling ASE bullion?

He's not stupid, he knows ebay will pull them when reported and he won't owe any fees for trying. Check his feeback for the ones that did get through, he saved a bundle in fees!

Ciccio · October 9, 2009 12:50PM

True, he is smart (till last). But how can you buy from him?
If you are not happy with what you receive, he will accept the return and is not supposed to refund the shipping fees!

He is a smart guy, I agree but let me ask you, why would you want to return bullion?

gecko109 · October 9, 2009 1:00PM

Local pick-up anyone?

What if you receive 5 ASE instead of 50, or if they are fake or scratched or whatever?
Don't know, but it may happen that you don't receive what you are expecting. At that point you won't be covered.

What an idiot. He's already gotten a negative for his scam. Reported.

The negative was from somone that was to stupid to understand what he was doing. They thought they were going to get an oz of silver for $1.34. I actually like his concept, if he sells exactly what he advertised, what's the problem. It is enjoyable seeing Ebay/paypal lose out on some of their overpriced charges.

UtahCoin · October 10, 2009 4:47AM

Did you see This one? $2344.99 S&H I'm surprised eBay has not shut him down.

ziggy29 · October 10, 2009 4:51AM

Do you really think they don't pass these costs on to more honest sellers who aren't engaging in fee avoidance?

Your right, just like any other compnay they pass on their cost via their fees, which IMHO are already to high. I just get a kick out of anyone trying to work around Ebay fees

The seller really isnt scamming anyone but Ebay. He may be overpriced, but that is between him and the buyer. If he sells exactly what he advertised, he is not ripping off the buyer.

doh · October 10, 2009 5:21AM

<< he is not ripping off the buyer. >>

Nope, he's just ripping off every other seller who has to pay EVEN HIGHER fees because of idiots like him. Yeah, he's a real class act.

JaPa · October 10, 2009 6:16AM

Still there

If the item gets lost in shipping or he never ships it, wouldn't paypal only refund the purchase price but not the shipping?

Buffalode · October 10, 2009 6:38AM

I would not have much confidence that the seller would have any higher ethics with me as a customer than he does with the company he is doing business through.

I see a new round of high S & H fees in my crystal ball.
Monkey see, monkey do.

Oh well, not MY problem.

Silverstate · October 10, 2009 7:36AM

The guy says.....

IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU,

PLEASE HAVE THE RESPECT NOT TO BID.

THIS IS MY SYSTEM, YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE IT, OR BID,

BUT, PLEASE RESPECT THAT I PAY THE EBAY BILL,

AND THIS SYSTEM WORKS FOR ME.

THANK U!!

JUST PAY HIGH SHIPPING TO KEEP THE BIDS LOW AND HAVE A GREAT TIME IN YOUR EBAY SHOPPING AND YOUR GREAT INVESTMENT!

This guy has a pretty good deal going. He's getting $2300-2500 for100 silver eagles. I'm shocked that people pay this much for these. And all the feedback is positive.

Edited for quantity

BECOKA · October 10, 2009 9:03AM

Any chance the good feedback is from friends and they did not actually buy anything?

MsMorrisine · October 10, 2009 9:04AM

I've reported non-coin sellers who do this and not only did the auctions stay up, so did the sellers.

Cameonut · October 10, 2009 9:05AM

One thing is certain - he will get the lowest possible ratings for shipping cost.

BECOKA · October 10, 2009 9:10AM

<< One thing is certain - he will get the lowest possible ratings for shipping cost.

I don't think is worried about the good rating discount. He gets a lot more in savings the way things are.

BlindedByEgo · October 10, 2009 9:24AM

<< This guy has a pretty good deal going. He's getting $2300-2500 a roll for silver eagles. I'm shocked that people pay this much for these. And all the feedback is positive. >>

Actually, he's getting $2300-$2500 per 100 (5 rolls).

I did it about five times guess eBay don't care either.

doh · October 10, 2009 11:11AM

<< I did it about five times guess eBay don't care either. >>

Yeah, I did it twice and nothing. Here is the seller's response to my e-mail: "no what rule i'm just going to late them run out a then i will do something if breaking the rules sorry"
"

segoja · October 10, 2009 12:06PM

Reported as well. E-Bay just could care less. Maybe they have pulled people off these activities given the economy.

JaPa · October 11, 2009 12:16AM

Still there but he/she changed the shipping terms. Ebay make him or his own doing after hearing from everyone?

Can't read either. this guy has gotten away with way to many things.

Ebay cares. They're losing money. They'll take him down eventually. They are always slow and remember this is a holiday weekend here in CA. One way to interpret this is that they no longer spend more resources chasing fee avoidance than fakes/frauds. Which would be good. --Jerry

garsmith · October 11, 2009 1:03AM

<< Reported.

>>

reported x2

At least no-one has bids in on his items

DennisH · October 11, 2009 8:36AM

I reported just one item (but told them all of his listings did the same thing), and just got a reply from eBay that they had removed just the one listing.

joebb21 · October 11, 2009 12:03PM

I dont understand the police here. Yes hes doing something thats agains ebay policy- but unless you work for ebay why would you care???
I see no reason why the guy cant try and get lucky doing what he does.
everyone just tries to make a buck and as long as what he is selling is real then its ebay's job to pull his stuff not ours to report it.
personally I dont do that. I actually just sold something on the bay and ended up having over 8% in fees.
after paypal as well..

Tomohawk · October 11, 2009 12:32PM

Once of his auctions LINK

Has 100 oz at the Headline and in the start of the body, but if you read further, he has another paragraph that says you're bidding on ONE coin. That's enough ambiguity that someone (or several someone's) may bid thinking they're going to get 100, but the auction might wind up low enough he'd only send one. Or, one was his intent...

Pretty shady at least.

EDIT: Sorry, can't seem to get the link to work...same page of auctions as the OP...about 2/3 down...shipping is $49.95.

His fee evasion tactics are giving him an unfair competitive advantage over other sellers. It's a form of stealing/cheating, which indirectly hurts everyone else who is honest and plays by the rules.

BlindedByEgo · October 12, 2009 12:21PM

All 100 of his auctions are gone.

CoinCrazyPA · October 12, 2009 1:30PM

<< All 100 of his auctions are gone. >>

They are not gone, still running has about 20 running right now..

This guy thinks he's smart!
