Hi fellow Ozcarders as you know ebay these days does very little to protect the seller, instead choosing to protect the buyer at all costs. We can't leave negative feedback, when they don't pay and when a dispute is closed we still have to pay another fee to re-list and only get a refund if it sells even if by then we have missed the boat figuratively speaking of course. Yes it's a hard, harsh world. Thank god for OZCard members!!!!

I wanted to bring one particular nasty customer to light.

mr_afl A.K.A thekanga2 A.K.A Michael Woollard of Werribee

This particular buyer purchased 12 items from us, totaling over 500.00 in sales through buy it now auctions. By the time we were demanding our money it was two weeks since the first purchase. About a week in when he kept adding to the total we asked him when we could expect payment to which he repied "a few days" when it came to a week later and still no payment we contacted this seller over three days pleading with him to contact us, to no avail not a word and then no payment and cases closed.All the while he is paying for other items each and every day.

Well we thought we had seen the last of this bloke until last night we sell an item to thekanga2 and guess who???? :lol: Yep Michael. We contact him and tell him we are very upset with the way he handled the situation last week and if he contacted us and assured payment he could have the item. Guess what? no reply.

Have a look at what other fellow ebayers have to say in the last fortnight about this bloke.

useless buyer!..2 weeks and no payment and no response to emails. Waste of time

Payment not received until 2 weeks after auction close with no communication.

Poor .. Very payed for the item ...

Truth is we dare say mr_afl has been suspended so he is jumping ship to thekanga2
do yourself a favour and block this guy now. We have only highlighted the negative feedback and our situation but almost everything this guy buys is paid 2 or 3 weeks down the track. He is a serial offender and the only way he will learn is the hard way.

I had no intention of carrying the first issue any further however after realizing last night he has returned under a different alias and going back into his old account i feel everyone on here has the right to know about this bloke. If ebay can't protect us we must protect each other.

Keep collecting and thank-you for your time.:thumbsup:

P.S we just spoke to ebay regarding this, they are about as helpful as an a**hole on a elbow. Figures.
 
Sorry to hear about the hassles.....like many here ive also had a guts full of selling on ebay.
Even with a 500+ feedback rating they still screw us long term members over..
Its amazing how you can go from loving this hobby to had a guts full in the space of a week...or maybe its just me
 
Sorry to hear Brad :thumbsdown:

Luckily I didn't accept an offer he made on one of my items. He's still got an active account of the other forum, despite being banned on here.
 
I don't sell much but remember having a problem with him on ebay a while ago. Pretty sure he was a banned member on here as well, can't remember his user name though.
 
yep he is an absolute timewaster!!!

Bought $150 of cards off me and still no payment....15 days later.

He has been banned of various sites in the past. North Melbourne collector. Pretty sure he was the guy who was going after Robbie Tarrant sigs.

DO NOT DEAL WITH
 
I had a deal going with "Goldcoastboy" on here. (Michael Woollard) I Deposited $30 into his account and made contact with him all the time with no reply. I get a reply 3-4 Weeks later saying there was a death in his family, He will send my cards out that following week. Another week past and no cards. I reported to admin and everything but not much was done and i never seen my money again.

Do not Buy from him, Do not sell to him, Completey ignore him / Put him on block lists ect. As he is no help to anyone!
 
he has a number of different aliases...pretty sure he is no longer on this site...you do not want people like this in the hobby.

Grow up Michael Woollard.
 
As i to am from werribee, I found him on facebook (As we have mutural friends) I could give you all the link to his facebook? ;)
 
Hi guys,
This guy purchased $1055.00 of cards off me. And he stated that he paid for them and he did not. I saw the feedback also that he was paying for other items too.
Absolute joke. Cost me over $85 in fees to list! It's not fair. I said I can deliver the cards in person as I'm not far away from werribee.

Lies after lies, and me being a genuine person believed him. Wasted my time and money. eBay should have negative feedback for sellers! And refund our bloody money!

Did you open an unpaid dispute? That way you can still get refunded some credit.

This guy still has an account on the other forum under mr_afl.......should really be banned.
 
i had an experience with him, last year, he bought a $45 card off me, never paid, never communicated, just wastes time, cant neg him. I dont understand why you do something like that???
 
Wow guys i posted to warn others but never realized so many of us have been screwed. Truly sorry to hear so many of us are in the same boat. There should be a section on here where other members can warn each other of people like this. Still it could get out of hand so i can see why there probably is not. Hopefully this guy gets the notoriety he truly deserves and someone avoids the train wreck that is dealing with this bloke.
 
just had an email from him asking if he could pay next tuesday because the radiator in his car went bust....hahaha lies after lies after lies. He wanted me to hold them because he really wanted the cards...my response was NO WAY, told him ill be closing the case as soon as eBay lets me, so he gets YET another unpaid item strike and he has lost the chance at these cards. Idiot.
