Wow! I stand corrected, Guys. We have the dead family member excuse as well! Anyone care to comment on this seller's registered address and it's proximity to the last three? I suspect if he hasn't done so, he'll be logging on to eBay and changing it.

Jonb aka Mr Barrett. I've tried to get in touch with you at your previous registered address. If it is you, I did finally receive my copy of Dungeons of Dr. Dement, and I owe you for the cost of the item. I'm more than happy to pay up if you can confirm your new ID and address etc.

In the meantime, do you like cake?

Yes, the "Woe is me, my (insert relative here) died in Iraq" card was pathetic.

(shrug)  I'm not claiming to be correct or incorrect and one simply will not be able to prove otherwise by anything I wrote.

I'm simply pointing out the threat of legal action against anyone expressing an opinion on a public forum would be difficult threat upon which to follow through.  This, therefore, leads to the unfortunate conclusion the threat is either an empty one or a lie.

Exactly.  

And not the first time a threat or snide, hidden threat of legal action has shown someones true colours...

Otherwise, this is not a story you want to take home to your wife, mother or veteran friends' families.  The problem with guessing is it is guessing.  And attempting to destroy peoples reputation and business should never be based on a guess.  95% confidence intervals are not sufficient for harming someone and their family.

Even on forums of like-minded people, some of you need to remember you are publicly publishing what you write.  It's not all just among friends when strangers can stop in and read it.

The problem is I can say I'm Gary Gygax's illigetimate love child on an internet forum..are you willing to give me the 95% confidence on that one?  If not, well, why not?

Most of our lives are out there as public knowledge. I know it's not hard to dig up stuff on a bunch of us on the forum, especially the ones who sell regularly on ebay, publish, run cons, etc.  Since I got online in 1992 or thereabouts there have been people saying they are this that or the other.

One one hand, the best case scenario this person is who they say they are and everything is true. Everyone here would owe her a big apology and such.  I would not hesitate to add that a dead family member is not an excuse for bad business practices; my father died of a lingering illness several years ago and I somehow still managed to get all my packages out on time.  Ditto with bad descriptions, etc.

On the other hand, the worst case scenario, this is a lying scumbag who besides all their other crimes has also used the "dead soldier relative" defense.  I will once again not hesitate to add that not only do people invent relatives that have died in Iraq/Afghanistan, some con artists even pose as ex soldiers until outed by alert media members.  Some are even people in positions of authority that something think there is no way someone will check up on their claims.

There is a very easy way to throw egg all over our faces and stick it to us...."Lisa" merely has to post a few links proving who she is.....perhaps a link to her husbands obit, or some people who knew her "back in the day" that gamed with her at Gencon or met her there. Do you have a facebook page? Most of us do nowadays. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Being on the internet for almost 20 years I have seen it all. I have to say, throwing out the "Just wait till my lawyer gets ahold of this" bullshit is at the VERY top of the list of total asinine shit to throw against the wall and try to make stick, along with the "Do you know some of the Shady things your friends are doing?" divide and conquer claim (I assume this is in regards to someone/someones who have contacted her "off ebay" to buy some stuff?)  I won't even go into whatever the heck is a claim about a post master getting involved, anyone with half a brain knows that postmasters sit around all day doing nothing and getting paid for it.  They are more useless than dogshit on a shoe most of the time; I doubt one is getting off his ass long enough to help you with anything.

Mail fraud cases go both ways, you know. I'd be interested in knowing who your local postmaster is in case anyone who didn't get their package in a timely manner (or at all) would like to contact them.

Be sure to update us on your identity (after which confirmed I will gladly and humbly beg your forgiveness) or how your lawyer and postmaster are doing with their various cases. Your replies will go a long way to determining if you are who you say you are, or another bullshit artist.

Something smells funny. Can't tell whether it's BS or cake. Or Both!

Pip. You are way off the mark this time. The guy/woman/mellon farmer is an asshat. They behaviour cannot be justified by any number of spurious excuses, and their proximity, nature, conduct and command of the english language, are near identical to THREE previous eBay fraudsters.

You and I know that there it is in eBay's interest NOT to give a fuck, not to investigate, and not to take action. If you believe that the odds of them actially being the same individual is a mere 5%, your liberal nature and complacency run contrary to the spirit and ethic of the community at large.

Which eBay sellers are doing what now?

*headscratch*

I see lisas_stuff_too mentioned.  I recently purchased two items from lisas_stuff_too and had no problems.  I got both items within a week of auctions' end.

[Edit: OK, I've gone back and read the thread.  Yes, the evidence points to a JonB incarnation.  Only time will tell whether this eBay ID closes up shop or continues on.  *shrug*]
