Ray may have some recourse as he had an actual transaction but if it was an "on the side" deal i doubt Ebay will even look at it...


Wanted early tin litho signage.

Rick,
I see the guy had pretty good feedback. There was posative feedback left for him yesterday. He's no longer a registered user. Is it possible that someone has stolen his ebay ID?
Maybe someone will have some ideas on how to handle this situation.

this was an out right rip off he pulled the old i mailed the sign dont know where it is
no one stole his id is phone is shut off i know the feedbacks were good it just hard to trust anyone i will call him everyday at work til i get my money he claims i didnt insure it but i send him an extra 50.00 for that i would have to be crazy without he also told me his son forgot to mail out the sign so he had to then last nite emailed and said he would have to check with his son if it got insured so thats a big fat lie he talks in circles he must be hurting for money and think were so far away hes save not//////////////// i think that they
were never any signs it was an old picture
and he just used the lost in the mail its not my fault excuse i have a lawyer on it
i know ebay cant do anything with me but combine us both its out right mail fraud

LUCKY for YOU. To live a long way from HIM, YOU could be sued for doing BODILY HARM, or sitting in jail for ASSULT with intent to DISMEMBER.

Check with Post Office, about MAIL FRAUD [IF you sent him a M.O.].

ANOTHER GOOD reason to attend the SHOWS. You get the item when you pay.

Sorry to hear about your problem. I had a similar instance on ebay. I ended up calling the local police and County/District attorney in the town were the guy lived. When I was able to talk to the seller then I let him know who I had talked to at the local law enforcement. That sign was shipped so fast to me I think he must have rented a jet. Do your homework and be persistent. Good luck.

Hey Rick sorry to hear this guy did a number on you. When I read your post, the name rang a bell. I bought a sign from him in Jan and he shipped it out really fast. Something strange is going on because a guy with that many postive feedbacks doesn't just change over night. He has been around for a while. I would contact the local police in his town and have them investigate. Tell him too what you are going to do. That could have an effect. Just the fact that he has an address and you know what you do about him, makes me think that with a little pressure you will either get your money back or the sign. Good luck

Craig
