Sign Scammer There is a person using ebay to scam people and I wanted every one to know about him. He has been brought up on facebook, and it seems he takes payment and is never heard from again. It is felt that he does not even own the signs being sold, but is using random images taken from the net. So far he has used the same seller ID for his transactions. Take a look and be prepared!

He started yesterday and already has a bad reputation? Yikes! Did he have a different identity in the past?

He's got other stuff for sale so how can he get away from refunding considering pay-pal locks you in with a card and will charge back the seller!
Thanks Mike

This came up on Porcelain Sign Trader, on Facebook. He had previously sold the sign on there, collected the money, and disappeared? If you're on Facebook, look up Porcelain Sign Trader and take a look.

And Scott Benjamin made a great point:
"There is a guy on a sign site that has ripped a few people off. Again folks NEVER send money PayPal as a friend or family UNLESS you know them. PayPal WILL cover purchases but NOT if you do as a friend or family. Regular way you are protected! Couple months ago I sent a guy $2000 for several globes. He requested "Friend or Family." I didn't know him. I said I'll just pay the fees-peace of mind...I NEVER got the globes! I contacted Paypal and had my 2K back in a week no questions! Had I done that the other way as he requested I'd be out 2K lesson learned..."

I don't understand how he can get away with this?
I buyer sneezes,and eBay/Paypal refunds their money.Especially if the seller never shows proof it was shipped. How is he not having to refund the money?

This is actually pretty common on ebay just not in terms of signs I guess. I know with electronics people do this all the time by listing 50 plus high dollar items they never had and just run with the money. Not sure why ebay waits so long to take them down either, but usually the person doesn't get away with it. Even if they do ebay will take the loss and pay the refund. Thanks for the heads up
