Guys (and girls) - be very very careful re: vigilante stuff or abuse towards this person or people.
If you do happen to find contact details for them then the issue can be raised with Consumer Affairs. I have asked them for help in the past (admittedly not eBay related) and got very impressive results.
Sometimes people are "unhinged" and the last thing you need is the seller in question slandering your names on other forums or on eBay itself.....or even becoming violent.
I think the best thing we can do for Adam (and sorry for talking about you as though you aren't here mate!) is to find some contact details so if desired he can pass it on to the authorities.
It's still got me stuffed that eBay won't do anything all because he paid by bank transfer, if that's the case why even have the option why not just have PayPal or nothing and if you don't have a PayPal account then you can't sell on eBay, this person isn't the 1st and won't be the last to exploit eBay to there advantage, and for eBay to not help is just pathetic
Ive put this down as a loss or an expensive lesson. Just hope my experience is a learning curve for everyone not to pay by direct deposit unless you have a good relation with them or they come highly recommended by a trusted trader. A massive thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread. Even though we didnt catch them it made me feel proud to be part of this community that sticks together when people try to ruin our fantastic hobby.
Well this just got interesting, when I was messaging this person about the card to get some info I happened to mention I was chasing a viney gold, the have just messaged me with a scanned pic of viney saying they have #22 and to make an offer, and of course they can't give me a pic of back of card, now how should I approach this should I
A: try and get any info I can to try and figure out who they are.
B: go nuts
C: go nuts
I can't believe the nerve of this person, they know exactly what they are doing and I think they have ripped a lot of people off
The person has changed there eBay account name a few times recently it used to be Rachael_farrugia so in thinking this is the name the account is under and now it's rachf1976 so in thinking the 1976 is year of birth, so my conclusion is some little piece of crap is using there mums eBay account to rip people off, I'm thinking if we put our heads together we can find this person
