OK, I will ask how did you get them so cheap? The next thing I have to
ask is did you already receive them? If not, you might get burned by the
seller, and they could always send you the Asian sets, and say there was
a mistake in the Ebay listing. If they are the real deal I hope they all
work for you, and they are not store returns!

The seller's feedback is *private*, and he's received 5
negatives in the past month alone (18 in the past 6 months,
and 82 in the past year). Granted, that's a relatively
small percentage given his volume of sales, but a good
seller should at least be *over* 99% positive, not under.
And there's no good reason for making feedback private.
(Not that he even attempts to give any reasons for it
on his "About Me" page ...)
WG...@webtv.net
Feedback is not very impressive at 98.7%, with 83 negitives! And they
keep all comments from buyers private, so what are they hiding? Let us
know if this turns out OK, and you get real USA DVD sets.

they are mostly on his bead sales and it is because the buyer doesn't
read the description thourougly and is disappointed when they receive
their item. This is obviously not the seller's fault but the
illiterate buyer's. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. I will
certainly let you all know when and how they come. Hopefully they will
be here this week. I am so wiggin excited!!!

Except for the fact that the first two negatives were for undelivered
DVD sets of high value! I knew this seller had something to hide, and
now I know what! And now I know why they hid their feedback comments. I
just can't figure out why they stoped hiding them now, you would think
they would want to keep comments like that hidden. JMO

sick and tied of getting scr***d over by both sellers and buyers. This year
has been the worst. So I am quitting forever. And anyone who sends that much
money to a stranger over Ebay is a true sucker. Next time you won't get
anything in return. Seriously.

feedbacks are mostly from people with coin collections, which is tiny
compared to DVDs. a lot of negative feedbacks have to do with DVD auctioned
but never delivered. i hope we don't end up as one of those. please let us

The seller has locked down their feedback again after receiving two
more negatives today. Last week I had scanned through the sea of
feedbacks from the bead sales and I didn't find much positive feedback
on DVD sets, but many negatives.
I have sent 3 emails and have heard nothing yet. The seller has been
online sending negative feedback to others and to lock down their own
feedback, so I have the feeling I am being blown off. If I haven't
heard anything by the end of this weekend, it is time to file a
dispute.
Recently the seller had dozens of DVD sets worth thousands of dollars
purchased via Buy It Now, but now there aren't many sets listed and the
lack of positive feedback on the DVDs is disturbing...
JediFonger
has several duplicate accounts leaving feedback for himself.
And yesh the DVD feedbacks are terrible. I hope I GET the DVDs! =). Do you
have a link for filing a dispute? Let us know, we may need it, thanks.

Maybe it's 2 people (eg. a couple) sharing the same eBay
account? Some harmless little old lady dutifully selling
tens of thousands of beads over the years with no trouble,
building up a mountain of good feedback, until her
no-good sleazebag loser drug-addict grandson talked her
into letting him use her account to sell some DVDs that
either fell off the back of a truck or are nonexistent.
He makes a quick buck and disappears before the sh*t
hits the fan, leaving grandma to deal with the mess.
\;-T
Otherwise, if it's just 1 seller who has suddenly gone bad,
all those thousands & thousands of bead auctions over the
past 5 years seem like an awful lot of trouble to go to
just to set the stage for a round of hit-and-run bogus
DVD auctions now. (Just taking the closeup photos of all
those beads must take an awful lot of work!)

eBay seldom responds or acts when ordinary people complain, but
when a *Power Seller* complains, they usually pay more attention.
If a Power Seller noticed his/her account had been hijacked
and complained, eBay would probably do something ... I think.

I hate to tell you this, but I think you have been had by this Ebay
seller! And the thing that gives it away is the last sentence, "I will
refund or resend". Now how could they afford to do this?
Especially the re-send part. Did they give you a Delivery Confirmation
number or even offer you Insurance on this item? If not then they are
just trying to delay you from filing a claim with Ebay. I think you only
get like 30 days from the end of the Auction to file. So if they keep
giving you the run around the 30 days will be up before you know it and
you will be left hanging. If I was you I would bug this Ebay seller to
death, to try to get what you paid for. Whatever you do don't let that
30 days go by! IHTH
digitals...@gmail.com
feedback goes private. After listing thousands of dollars of DVD sets,
the sets suddenly stop getting listed. Today it appears the person
removed all of their other (bead) auctions, too.
PayPal has a 45 day remediation, so hopefully that works out if people
used that for payment.

a claim with paypal. Here is his email:
Hi first off I would like to say my apologies for not responding sooner. As
many of you know I have been having many problems due to a third party
interference on computer. My system has been fried and compromised am
currently setting up a new computer that's was the easy part. As for the the
compromise I lost paypal for awhile and used my sister-in-laws account which
as a result has been compromised I never win so I cannot accept paypal for
awhile. Now as far as shipping issues there will always be one problem or
another but remember and many of you know this but for my beloved newbies I
always offer to resend or refund on lost or missing items. I will get your
items to you this is my word and i have been already reshipping many orders.
i have been using ups for this as i no longer use post office unless
absolutely necessary. Please be patient friday any requests for tracking
number will get it. My computer will be up by tommorrow night and i can get
to all questions. Also please contact me at purgat...@cox.net as the
other e-mail address my sister in law's, has no idea how to answer. I just
found out many have been e-mailing her you will not get a response. I hope
this clears up issues you may have and if not ask i will get to them
tommorrow night or friday latest. Be patient been very hectic to say the
least not an excuse just a fact and i apologize for the inconvenience. Thanx
and have a great day!

This sounds like a real run-around, and a stalling tactic on the sellers
part. I have never heard so much bull in one E-Mail, ever! How would
probems with his computer prevent you from receiving something he
already sent? I wonder what will happen next to this seller? I do not
see why they are having all those shipping problems most sellers do not
have any problems in shipping items. I know you said you have never had
a problem with Ebay, but there is always a frst time for everything.
Filling a claim is a real pain I filed one with Papal once about not
receiving "two" books I had ordered from Ebay. Well they got to the
seller, and the seller sent me 1 book that was not what I had ordered!
And just because they sent me "something", Paypal said Case Closed So I
was out the money, and the books! Next time if I was you I would only
deal with Ebay sellers who have 100% feedback. That way you can be
pretty sure you will get what you pay for!
Bobyn42
DVDs because they probably don't exist. I've got rent to pay in a
couple weeks so I just want my money back and to leave him another
negative feedback.
Valerie
for it. When he went to pick it up, there was no such place, no such
person. Turns out somebody had hacked into Ebay and rigged up an
account with 100% positive feedback. I'm pretty sure the guy will never
get his $6000 back.

I really hope you are right about this. Like I said in a previous post
the seller could send you what ever they want, and Paypal will just say,
case closed! Because you got "an" item (Any Item) from the seller. And
you will be out your item, and the money. I still have a bad feeling
about this, and I hope you do not get the Asian Discs, and not the USA
discs. Just because the Asian ones are not worth the price you paid.
Well Good Luck on this, I hope you get the item you paid for.

I haven't had to deal with this part of eBay/PayPal before, but we may
have to soon. Two of the people I have been in contact with said they
didn't get any action until they put in a PayPal dispute, and then they
also received tracking numbers immediately.
I was promised a tracking number by the weekend, got nothing, now it's
time for me to dispute.
I am just wondering what happens if the person sends 4lbs. of old books
or something that does not match the description... I guess it may come
down to who's word they take, and I have a feeling it would lean toward
the seller.

Well I was supposed to get two hardback books from one seller, and when
I did not after three weeks I filed a complaint with Paypal. Well then
after two more weeks I guess Paypal contacted the seller, and I received
one very "Ratty" old paperback book from the seller. And then when I
complained to Paypal again they said well I did get something from the
seller so the case was closed on this complaint! The funny thing was
there was no tracking # available for my original order but there was
for the second very unwanted order. So I was out the Money, and the
Books that I wanted. And Ebay was out a long time customer!!
Bobyn42
First Media Mail then UPS? I don't plan on closing the dispute until
the items come. If they are not the DVDs, the dispute will stay open
or be refiled. Hopefully they get here by August 14 (45 days)...
WG...@webtv.net
] (Bobyn42)
]I also received a tracking number promptly
The problem there is you might not want to close a dispute but Paypal
might! And if you receive "something" from the seller, that could infer
that the transaction was complete, and both seller, and buyer are happy.
And they always seems to be on the side of the seller in a dspute, why
that is I do not know. So I really hope you get what you paid for, but
don't get your hopes up too high on this. Did you try the tracking
numbers to see where your package might be? The sooner you find out the
better. I hope the tracking numbers are real numbers!
Bobyn42
claim was resolved in my favor so I am getting my money back; every
last penny. I apologize for leading those who also purchased these
sets. I hope your conflicts also become resolved in your favor.
You know what's funny? I did get junk today. He sent "Robotech: Final
Conflict" instead of my sets. PayPal still decided in my favor
thankfully.

]Well everyone was right. I never got the DVDs.
So how did you manage to get both, a refund, and "an" item? If you did
not get the money yet I am sure "Sonofjohn" will complain to Paypal, and
say you got your auction in the mail. I am just curious because Paypal
did not resolve my claim, in my favour. I think the seller knew that if
they sent "anything" to me, Paypal would let them off the hook for a
refund. And I wanted a refund desperately! So is Paypal changing their
ways, and siding with the buyer, and not the dishonest sellers? I hope
Ebay will NARU this seller now after so many Negitives! Thanks for the

"resolve" the claim was invalid, which I think pushed them to go in my
favor. I just happened to get the item and my money on the same day.
Maybe I was just lucky. He will get his items reshipped in the same
box with the same packaging he sent to me. Bastard.
In regards to Hank's post, PayPal explains that if the seller has
insufficient funds, I will still get ALL of my money, they will "deal"
with the seller.
"If the seller's account has insufficient funds to complete the
refund owed
to you, please be assured that we will take appropriate action
against the
seller's account, which may include limitation of the seller's
account
privileges."
I hope that I am just not one lucky individual and that all of you who
have an open claim get it resolved in your favor.

Stalling for months, nothing but excuses, lies on the shipping date,
eBay information not matching PayPal information, the eBay profile's
phone number being disconnected when I tried to call it, and now
garbage items being sent when a PayPal claim is made in a final effort
to attempt to defraud.
On top of it, they will leave you a feedback calling you a "newbie" or
"childish" and claim you had no contact if you leave a negative. What
a jerk.
So, is everyone going to file a claim with the Postal Inspector to get
this scumbag hit with a couple dozen counts of fraud? By my count he
