Stolen? Missing Helis or Equip > Questionable Ebay Member, Anybody know this guy in SC?

I'm selling a Raptor90se on Ebay. Last night a guy with 0 feedback who just joined the same day bought it. Well I do a search on his name and address and find a blog http://wolfdog.vox.com/library/posts/ where he is into the old cashier check fraud game. I'm not going to sell to this guy unless everything adds up. Does anybody know this guy? You can never be too carefull. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I dont think so.

I'n not sure if were looking at the same heli but if this is yours, http://cgi.ebay.com/Raptor-90-SE-RT...1QQcmdZViewItem I do not think you need to worry. It appears that the buyer tambomikky75 (0) is no longer a registered user. I sell small things on ebay so I've never run into scammers but any high priced item people will always try to scam you. I know some ebayers require an instant payment. So in order to use "buy it now" they would have to pay you with paypal instantly.

Questionable Ebay Member, Anybody know this guy in SC?

Yes that is the helicopter. I sent all the information to Ebay's fraud and security department. I think its funny that Ebay has not told me anything about him being booted off. I noticed Ebay didn't refund any of my fees. I talked with another Ebayer that got screwed by this idiot and Ebay hasn't refunded his fees. Its to bad a few ruin it for the rest of us. Thank goodness for the Internet and the people that put losers names and addresses on web sites so others dont get screwed. Thanks for looking. Jerry

That's really wierd behaviour. I've bought a few items off ebay, and I've always paid straight away!

Maybe it's just me, but I thought once you'd paid for something on ebay, the seller can't back out and sell it to someone else? Is that correct? Yeah I know he/she can still stiff you, (that's a chance you take buying stuff), but I was concerned that the seller would sell to a mate AFTER he/she got your money.

I've bought 2 Helicopters on this forum, and paid straight away aswell. I just trust people too much I guess

The OP never got payed (payed as in money is in his bank / paypal account). The buyer was most likely trying to scam him with a fake cheque. And now the buyer is NARU (not a registered user) which means he most likely tried to scam countless other sellers and ebay banned him. And since he is now NARU he can't complete the transaction. I'm not 100% positive on this but there should be a way of getting your fees back. Look into filing an unpaid item dispute, You shouldn't have trouble with it either since your buyer is NARU.

This person purchased something from me also and appears to be involved in a scam based upon his email concerning Ebay payment. See here:
I agreed to pay the amount you want as buy it now any additional money for the shipping and handling. Here will go i am using this opportunity to inform you that the amount that will be on the moneyorder will more than your item fees.I don"t realy know the exact amount that will be.Because it will be issue by my client.and the reason of the over payment is that.the amount on the moneyorder has been signed already.And it is more than your item fees.so once you receive it.you must deduct your item fees and westernunion the balance money to my client manager in africa.the item is going to africa also the shipping and westernunion address will come with the payment.
There will be no problem about the shipment.I want you to responsible for it.also make sure you deduct ur item fees and westernunion any aditional money on the m/o once you receive it.and email me ur phone# asap today.
Below are the questions i have for you.

1)is the item in good condition?

2)is any westernunion location where you can send the balance money arround you?

3)can you make sure you get the m/o cash at ur bank the sameday you receive it?

4)can you allow me to send DHL for the pick up and complet the transaction the day you receive the
moneyorder?

If yes too all my questions.kindly email me back asap today so that the moneyorder can be send
asap,

Thanks,
I have replied to him and sent a notice to Ebay as well.
Mike,

We sorry to inform you, but the terms which you have set forth are not acceptable. Please pay with USA money order or via PayPal instant payment for the exact amount. We will arrange shipment to USA address only. You can arrange further shipping if needed, to Africa from the US location we ship to. If using PayPal a verified address will need to be used. US Money order payment will require approximately 10 days to clear the bank and shipment will be made once the payment clears.

The item is new.

Yes, there are Western Union Locations near by.

The US money order will be deposited within one business day of receipt. The money order Must be for the exact amount of the auction and mailed to our location, we will not pickup the funds at a Western Union location. No overpayment will be returned to you in any form or fashion.

We will ship only to your USA address you supplied to Ebay.

We will ship only when convinced that the payment will clear the bank. This usually takes around 10 days if drawn on US banks, if not from US Bank the Money order will be returned to you and the transaction treated as nonpayment.

We will be expecting payment in accordance to Ebay rules and Regulations and per the stipulations set forth in this email, as you have entered into a binding agreement upon purchasing the product via “Buy It Now”.

In addition since you are not the end user and you have stated that the end user is in Africa there will be no warranty or guarantee and therefore no return allowed on this unit. You will need to contact the manufacturer directly if there are any problems with the function of the merchandise.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to address them with us, Ebay or Square Trade (accessible through the listing)

Thank you,
Security and Payments Department,
Geo’s Mountain

Fraudulent transactions will not be tolerated and pursued to the fullest extent of the law.

addendum: to last post

Mike Nike has a pyapl account, so e-bay lets him bid, the account on paypal (I have beeb told) is valid) but Paypal will no verify his real address or phone number,

scammers

If it smells funny..stay away!

Many scam artists try to get you to hand over the item with promised payment coming after. Often try to use Western Union or some crappy story about funds being transferred etc.

Big clues are letters that start with "I am highly interested in your item..." Usually bad spelling on easy English words to make it look like they don't speak English all that well.

The answer is simply NO. Pay up and when funds are securely in my hands I'll ship.

Thanks
