Are you willing to ship to a second party address, which means you wouldn't be covered by Paypal since it isn't a confirmed address? Thanks for considering this. Sep-27-07 A: yeah I don't care, I'll send it wherever you want as long as it's in the continental US.

Whether he knows it or not he has been treated to a good turn, what he chooses to do with this information is up to him. I for one am not going to put my ebay status at risk by giving the seller a clearer warning - it is well known that Cougarrinard uses the system to his own best advantage. Like it or not, Cougarrinard is well practised at this - I know it isn't right and it isn't fair that he is allowed to get away with what we feel is blatant law-breaking but unfortunately it is a difficult situation to resolve. Do you not think that he has been reported on numerous occasions before, or that, I would imagine, disgruntled sellers have contacted the police about his practices. I would have to say that this has most definitely happened. But what are the police to do? The conversation would run something along the lines of :-"So you sent a parcel, which never arrived according to the guy you sent it to. And you can't prove you sent it. And now he's insisting on his money back. And under the terms of the deal you did he is entitled to his money back" - "What would you actually like us to do - get Interpol in and smash his door down?"I realise I am being flippant, and stress again that I do not think what Couarrinard does is right BUT you have done all you can in this case - if the seller is not wise enough to take advise, or even look into it further then that is his look out. Lets be honest. any right thinking person, who recieved a message like that would do some digging - and we all know it wouldn't take much looking.What Cougarrinard does is a great shame on the gaming community, I truly feel that he would be far better off being a decent, honourable seller (I have said this on these forums more than once in the past) but he isn't, and that's something he has on his conscience. I believe that what goes around comes around, but really don't sweat it more than that. Do feel free to monitor auctions, and warn likely victims; it is a decent and worthy thing to do but other than that, I really feel it is worth 'moving on'It is not my intention to be mean, and I am not defending Cougarrinard but it all does seem like such a waste of time (says he who is a 2 finger typist - imagine how long it has taken me to put this down?! )
