I just reported him too, to add to the heap of complaints. I also sent him a friendly heads email like I did to the other seller yesterday. I can tell I am really getting tired of having to report every single one of these assholes. :evil:  It seems I do it at 5 times a week, no joke. I should be getting paid by feckin EBay to police thier god damn site. :roll:

Seems this seller doesnt seem to think he is doing anything wrong either.  Here is his response to my 1st inquiry:

I was finally able to convince the seller that he was not legally allowed to sell these pdfs and he actually willing closed the auctions out. :)

It is interesting how difficult it is to actually get to the "Report a Problem" page on e-bay too.  I think I navigated through about 10 pages of crap before the link appeared to report the problem!

Kudos! to all you unsung, unpaid, unappreciated e-bay police!  :)

Shhhhhh!  "They" may be watching!   8O

It also pisses me off that they won't tell you what action they take.  How the hell are you supposed to know if your report did any good?  Other than the listing being removed, that is.

That's all I have to say about that...

TSR D D PC4 Creature Crucible Night Howlers | eBay

Look at that feedback, maybe another Treasure Trove type "seller".  :?


There are no bad editions of D&D, just Boring Players and Unimaginative DMs.

I am not sure this belongs in the copyright infringement thread, maybe the shady dealers thread. :wink:   Seriously though, I noticed that guy listing back a few weeks ago and just got a seriously bad feeling about him. He at the time of listing had something like over 250 auctions up and was a brand new user. 8O   It just screamed of fraud.  I also noticed at least 2 other sellers from that exact same town that he is from with low feedbacks also selling D&D stuff during the same time frame.  The worst part of it is if you look at his 2 positve feedbacks that he received, they were left by the buyer before he received the items.  That bidder for some reason leaves all of his feedback upon completion of the auction thathe wins and not when he receives the items :roll:  How dumb can people be. :roll:

yeah i noticed him about the same time. i was tempted with 1 or 2 items, but i just get edgy with ebayers with very low feedbacks. guess my gut instinct was about right then  :?

If you're gonna perpetrate fraud on that level, surely you'de be better off doing it the way ETC/TGE did it before (not ruling out the possibility that they are related). Atleast if you establish yourself as reasonably legit, you can real in more buyers and therefore more money when you do a bunk.

What's even worse -- he's charging shipping for PDFs.   :lol:  I wonder if there is an extra fee for high speed internet connections.  :roll:

well all i have to say about anyone who goes near this muppet, is if they are stupid enough to give their money to this guy, then they deserve everything they get really.

pretty sad state of affairs :(

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons | eBay

These are the ones that really get me.  I know (nearly) everyone reading it will know what it is, but its the pretence that this is genuine.

I'm sure this has been covered before, but if you did buy it, find out it was illegal and reported it, would you get a full refund from eBay and manage to put the seller out of pocket?  If so, we could do it on mass? Only one little problem ......  now what could that be? .....  ah yes, ummm...   eBay!    :x
I'm sure that it won't work like that.  Now theres a suprise.
