And all this over a $12 2nd edition AD&D module that's not very good anyway....and honest, guys, I never said or did a provocative comment or action, hell I was even gracious to the guy when his first payment bounced and I sent him just a form communication from Ebay letting him know to send payment again! If I bounced a payment and then took a full 30 days to pay for an item, I would be so embarrassed I would be profuse in my apologies. Hell, at this point I fully expect him to do a chargeback on the paypal payment, along with the inevitiable negative feedback. Good thing the other 99.9 percent of my buyers are mature adults, or can pretend to be one for awhile...Mike B.
bclarkie wrote:Mike, as long as he has the NPB Strike in place, he can't leave you a negative feedback. Ebay removes all feedback left by a buyer systematically as soon as its left after the strike is official. You have nothing to worry about as far as that goes. The feedback he leaves will show in text in your feedback but it will show as being removed because the buyer did not respond to a NPB notification and it will not register as a neg. He is powerless to anything to you.
Thanks BC. However he's pretty much as told me he's going to charge back on the paypal payment....not much I can do about that, such a low cost item I didn't include delivery confirmation. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens with that and if I get a Paypal notification anytime soon. What a frikken weirdo. He's sent me another email but since I have him blocked it just ends up in my spam folder; I deleted it without reading it.Mike B.
Badmike wrote:You're probably right, I'll edit out a few bits to make it less personal...just copied and pasted the entire mess.BTW, have now received another semi coherent ranting before I finally blocked all communication. Why, oh why, can't these guys spell or write grammatically correct sentences? In the latest he says to send his money back because he's shipping back my item he doesn't want it anymore. Unbelieveable.Mike B.
Badmike wrote:First thing this morning, chargeback notice from Paypal was in my mail. He waited over 30 days to pay me, bouncing a payment in the process, but just five days to file a notice with paypal. I cannot warn sellers enough about this guy.....IMMEDIATELY block him from bidding on your auctions:NWvintagegamesMike B.
bclarkie wrote:Mike, Just because you didn't get DC in this circumstance doesn't mean that you are screwed necessarily. Have you saved the email correspondance with him, becuase if you do, you should be able to forward those emails(with all headers showing that they have originated from his own email address that he has set up with Paypal) to the person at Paypal handling your case as proof of both the fact that he has recived the item(s) in question and also his intent on fraudulently charging back through PP.
#1 This E-bayor herrassed me for a payment and so the payment was made shortly after I returned from a business meeting in which I was out of State prior to the auction of his item ending. Thus as soon as I returned I sent payment promptly and prior to the payment being made I complianed to him about a Item strike that he left, He stated it was standard precedure and that once he got the payment he would remove the Item strike. So after the payment was made I asked why he had not removed the Item strike, The little ass hole thought he was funny in making his demands but he found out differently when I responded to hi little bull crap letter and here it is; Look If I was you I wouldn't play your little game with me. You was paid now remove your damn item strike or ill do more then file a pay pal dispute. My item better come to me in the condition you advertised it as do you understand? Your the one who rushed the gun on things people have lives rather then living on E-Bay 24 -7 I have a real job and I work buddy for a living I don't have the luxery time to spend at home and surf the net and make peoples lives a living hell on e-bay just because they wasn't paid when they wanted to be. Im not leaving you crap but If I do not get that strike removed from my account you will not only get a feed back but a dispute and a report written to e-bay and pay pal so you DECIDE! I can play this game of yours and a 100 times better! Im good at negative feed backs and following them up so you decide! So then like the incompetent fool he is he sends my letter to Safeharbor on E-Bay and says that IThreaten him, He has no idea what a Threat is! Can you Pay Pal or anyone at E-Bay please point out in my letter to him where it says im going to do anything to him as in HARM? NO where does it say that! This is probably some little kid having fun with his daddy e-bay account never the less I want MY MONEY BACK! I know it will take 20 days or a little longer and as he put it that's fine I have time and I can wait! Ive not recieved any item and he has nopt sent any confirmation that he has sent the item furthermore he has had a complaint by a prior customer within this month that an item same or close to what I purchased came to that person with a Cockroach dead in side, I have no desire to recieve anything from him. It's clear that this man is not stable and might even be just like a I said a little kid playing on Daddy computer. Any further attempt by this E-Bayor to contact me will be reguarded as unlawfull herrassment and I would be within my rights to file legal charges. Furthermore his attempt to mess up my business affairs on E-Bay with his lies and threats and so on will only result in a legal law suit filed against him and his legal guardians. How far I wonder would he like to take the game! See he thinks it's all a game and thats fine because I can come down to his level and play the game and play it even better then him. You wanna go to court mike over a Dungeons and Dragon book? You wanna pay for air plane ticket and Puniative damages? Do you seriously think Mike I won't go that far as to file a law suit over this? Think about it because now Im not angry Im pissed off! Refund the money you Con-Artist!

bclarkie wrote:Yeah, seems like someone needs to get back on ALL of his meds. Seriously though, if you have kept all of his original email correspondance from him, assuming that he has acknowledged reciept at least once in conjunction with his incoherent PP dispute tirade that he has filed with them, this should actually fall in your favor. The worst part of it all(its quite obvious that he is clueless to this point) is that when he wrote you the bad check he comitted two different types of fraud: 1) Fraud- Because he wrote you a bad check which is a legal contract guaranteeing payment 2) Mail Fraud- Because he sent a fraudulent payment to you though the mail.Don't get me wrong, the police wouldnt touch this because it at far as you and they know, this is only a one time thing and also its for only $20. Realistically though, you could take him to Small Claims Court to force payment from him and also make him pay for all of your costs that you incurred trying to collect payment; i.e. Bounced check fee, court costs, gas money, etc. You are a business and also a creditor in this circumstance and the only one that has any legal recourse in this circumstance. Additionally, as a creditor you have a legal right to pursue collection of the debt in question. Under the fair credit reporting act, he has the rights to opt out of having you call him, but if he continues to owe you this money you could continue to snail mail him asking for the money that he owes. I am also fairly certain that email would also be classified as okay under the debt collection forms to contact the debtor. Another thing that you could also do is report him to CHEX systems as being a check bouncer. This record will stay with him for 7 years and during those 7 years nobody will touch him with a 10-foot pole for payment by check until you get paid and record it as such (banks will also be reluctant to open new accounts for him as well if he appears on CHEX system), so if he wants to pay for everything with Money Orders for the next 7 years so be it. All in all, its probably not worth all that work over $20, but I just wanted to point out that the only one who would be screwed in a court case would be him. Actually, thinking about it further and his reaction to this whole thing, it is probably a very strong possibility that he has been down this road before with other creditiors and thus his over-reaction. Deadbeats a lot of times try to go on the attack to try and scare their creditors off, it never works, but they still try it any way.

It might just be me, but I never chuck in the towel when someone has wronged me. Heck, I was about to fly out and have a little chat with Maxine until my wife suggested the FBI route. That case was slightly more extreme than this, but the principle is the same. You run into Internet Conans like this dumbass all the time, guys who spout off and act tough but are in reality two-toothed hicks who couldn't spell dog if you spotted them the d and the g and gave them 27 tries.
