Good on you, I am just sick and tired of them. I sell mainly low value items, not worth getting a tracking number. But these scammers with a refugee background are driving me insane. Judging from the feedbacks and reply to feedback left by other sellers, they have driven a lot of people mad...

I just want to help other good and honest sellers out there, so they don't have to go through what I have to go through...

Tonight, I will do another screenshot collection of all the negative feedback & replies this new scammer has done. He has given hundreds of negs, so could take all night...

I would lodge a report with the ACORN. See link. That way you will get a report number issued by them.

They will take it to the police if they think it worthwhile.

And if you report the member to ebay along with the ACORN report number they might take you seriously.

 

Give ACORN all your past evidence as well.

My god, that list you scanned is scary. Even the positive feedbacks imply that the buyer got replacements. It would seem no purchase ever worked out for this buyer, items supposedly lost in transit, parts missing. You would wonder why they stay on ebay-must be for all the freebies they extort.

 

I had to laugh (in a sympathetic way) at one of your neg feedbacks. You replied to it that the buyer wanted you to pay the $40 return postage for what was just a change of mind. The buyer then went into a capital letter rant to say you were a liar and the postage was free!!

 

This is a worry. Surely people realise postage might be included in the cost of an item but it is not free, not to anyone. Or are sellers now supposed to spell that out in listings too, that only the postage to send the item is free, return postage for change of mind isn't included?

 

The mind boggles.

 

I am sort of glad not to be selling a lot how we used to. Back a decade ago, I felt we had more autonomy. We could still get a neg back then but we decided who we refunded or if we refunded.

I've had ocassion to use ACORN's services before - and they do take cybercrime seriously.

Although I've yet to experience a scammer, (prob' because of my niche market), I wouldn't hesitate to  use them again, as the last time, they were efficient and swift.

 

OP and any other sellers - jump online and complete a report. Reporting scammers or other nasty buyers to ebay seems to be completely ineffectual, but with ACORN's intervention and enough complaints, ebay may well recieve a rev-up from ACORN, too!

 

It's such a shame that ebay turns a blind eye to these practices - it creates a pall over all of the fantastic buyers here as well!

Thanks for the advice, I am not sure if I have the time and energy. Everytime I dealt with government, lawyers, ebay or anyone with authority I always get taken for a ride...

 

Thanks to the kind ebayer who PMed and showed me how to use http://toolhaus.org/

 

I have finished compilation for the latest scammer. Screenshots took from toolhaus.org will be posted below.

 

I have removed all ebay IDs and I am quite certain the feedbacks aren't serachable via google.
