Well guys MY card has resurfaced, and low and behold, it's in the same place as the fraudulent seller comes from who ripped me off $1028US in a deal a few months back.

Kobe Bryant 07-08 SP Authentic Chirography Gold AUTO /5 - eBay (item 110291846425 end time Sep-26-08 14:21:08 PDT)

What do I do? Who do I contact? Who do I report this to? What do I do!!!!!!!!!!!

Please help :(

Here is the original listing I won and never recieved anything, including a refund...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170235960421
 
What a piece of garbage have you reported to ebay ?
and he is not ripping off with small amounts .

Funny to see his reply about fbi what a f$%%wit love to crunch his bones for you ;)
 
Get a phone number for paypal or ebay and get on the blower...

At very least demand they contact the police in the area the user's registered because if they allow a listing they have had reported to them as being a previous fraud it's not good at all...

EDIT - supposedly ebay works with local law enforcement to combat fraud - make them prove it!
 
stick it into the scumbag bigtime, ripped off almost $4k last time.

get in touch with whoever you can

im sure some people from here will fire off a few friendly messages to the seller of the new listing :lol:

I'd advise not alerting them to the fact you're onto them yet, nor anyone else send them messages...
 
I'd certainly get the local police involved thru eBay or paypal BUT.

I just can't figure out why you would buy off a seller with that sort of feedback in the first place for an amount like that??

I was thinking the exact same thing........even if the 2 negs came after you purchased why the **** would you spend 1k on cards from a 0 feedback seller.......next time just send me your money.

Personally I think misgivings about how good paypal's buyer protection is would have contributed. Paypal are crooks. :cool:

I have to agree that it wasn't a wise decision to buy it off a low feedback seller, but what's done is done.

The card is clearly the same card as you purchased - the fact its in the same place just means that the 2 sellers are probably either identical or know each other.

You can get certain contact details from ebay if i'm not wrong, to get some idea of where they "live".

I know its probably not advised on this board, but personally if i were ripped off US$1000, its well worth the plane ticket over there. :mad:
 
This just makes me more aware before I spent such amount of money online.

Not only Ben but this ebayer (hanizena) from OZ got ripped off as well. Very scary!:(

Yes me and Hani have been in close contact about it. Also with a US guy.

Thanks for the "you're a dumbass" posts. I forgot that the title of the thread was "Come in here and give no constructive help at all and instead tell me I have **** for brains"...

You think I don't know I was taking a risk on the 0 feedback? Of course I was, but given the fact that it could have paid off big time and the rareness of that set card, I took the chance...and lost...and yes PayPal did screw me over too only giving $200 back (I thought I was covered...apparently not, I have learnt).

So sure, send me your bank details and I'll simply send you the money......thanks for your input.
 
There is a Fbi Internet crime site you can use aswell
Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home

I don't understand how both his usernames on Ebay can still be active after
the feedback received, should be no longer registered.:blink:

Paypal are hopeless , $200 thats pretty poor, ebay goes on about you need
to use paypal so your covered, blah blah blah, its all bull****!!

Apparently that's all I "qualified" for. Likely also because of the low feedback of the seller (0 at purchase time, 1 at payment time). However I didn't realise that prior to purchase and like I said, I have now learnt...though I don't know what the cut off for feedback might have been for getting more than $200....me thinks 15,000,000 100% positive! :lol:
 
I hope you manage to get the authorities to deal with the ***** and can somehow still pick up that beauty. I have no idea how the local (US) law enforcement would respond but it cant hurt.
