Unless seller ran out his paypal account and no funds were available to cover your item..

 

Nope, does not apply with ebay buyer protection.

I also note that his auctions state that he will refund return postage, which I would demand, but not expect to get.

 

He would say, "I will refund return postage if you cancel the auction", which will not allow you to leave feedback.

 

You might be able to push Paypal into refunding return postage since it is in his auction, but again, I doubt it.

 

I have had a neg after the auction was canceled and the buyer refunded..

 

I dropped a piperack and cracked it trying to package it for shipping..So I asked the guy right away if he would cancel the auction which he agreed to..then he negged me.. :(

how do i search for a seller on ebay?

 

Use the advanced search feature. On the left hand side, you'll see Find Items. One of the options is By Seller.

 

cheers

 

heres your problem.....

 

"Returns are accepted if I've significantly misrepresented the item. I will pay the return shipping fees."

 

theres no misrepresentation...he just dosent say much in the description...does he refund if unsatisfied?

Seems those who want to embark on the effort will have to spend at least a little cash. It's only a few bucks - again, isn't it worth it? It is to me - as I mentioned I was going to do this with Bijou but he blocked me after I challenged him. I'll put $75 towards this effort right now if anyone wants to take me up on this. The guy's sucking up my potential buyers!!

Bijou's recent bids...up to no good list... :boo:

 

Check out the two highlighted recent purchases. the JIM83 has been discussed here...it's clear the book was CT'd and may be trimmed.

Wow, crazy stuff. Glad I found this thread and took the time to read it all.

 

thanks. that (and not knowing how to know the search function properly) is why i started it. all i got for my effort was being called names, but i'm glad it helped someone out.

I agree with you. I've reported the listing to eBay for more investigation, asking them to contact me for more information (I didn't have room on the report to list the link to this thread, but if they contact me I will).

 

Will it do any good? Maybe if they receive several reports...

The name bijoubaby05 reminds me of Adam Sandler's Waterboy character Bobby Boucher. Although thats not a fair comparison, Boucher was honorable. Nonetheless i'll refer to that theif as Boucher.

 

Notice that as soon as porky posted those links, Bobby Boucher ended the auction. Boucher is definitely watching these posts and knows his scams are out in the open now. I say HIS scams, although Boucher accepts payments and has a return shipping address under a female name.

 

Here are just 3 examples of how this person has intentionally deceived buyers and conned collectors out of thousands of dollars:

 

===========================================================

Example 1 - intentionally and deliberately selling a certified graded comic as a condition that it is not to falsely inflate the value

 

1/30/2011 item # 220728608024

bought Xmen #4 CGC 6.5 for $241.83

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&_rdc=1&item=220728608024&si=0ecgKNdP4isJr7B4LjRIjRfossc%253D&viewitem=

 

 

3/31/2011 item # 120700174952

removed CGC casing and sold Xmen #4 as 8.5 for $610.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&_rdc=1&item=120700174952&si=0ecgKNdP4isJr7B4LjRIjRfossc%253D&viewitem=

 

===========================================================

Example 2 - intentionally and deliberately selling a certified graded comic as a condition that it is not to falsely inflate the value

 

3/5/2011 item # 120689021206

bought Spiderman #2 CGC 6.0 restored purple label for $599

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&_rdc=1&item=120689021206&si=0ecgKNdP4isJr7B4LjRIjRfossc%253D&viewitem=

 

 

3/15/2011 item # 120685333103

removed CGC casing and sold Spiderman #2 as 7.5 for $1,152.99

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&_rdc=1&item=120685333103&si=0ecgKNdP4isJr7B4LjRIjRfossc%253D&viewitem=

 

==========================================================

Example 3 - intentionally over grading raw books

 

3/6/2011 item # 320663891175

bought Hulk #181 listed as VF+ for $587.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&_rdc=1&item=320663891175&si=0ecgKNdP4isJr7B4LjRIjRfossc%253D&viewitem=

 

 

Currently has Hulk #181 listed as NM- with current bid at $355

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120708771251&_rdc=1

 

==========================================================

 

This information is also being provided to Ebay as intentional and deliberate fraud, as well as to the people who were ripped off in the links above. Also being sent to the people Boucher purchases CGC books from. If someone who isnt trained at grading over-grades a comic and sells it at a higher value to someone who also cant tell the difference, then thats a shame but its not a crime. But to deliberately open up CGC graded comics which have CERTIFIED grades assigned by experts, and then deliberately list them as higher condition, thats called CRIMINAL FRAUD.

 

Please help out by spreading this information to any person or organization whom you think can assist in ending the intentional and deliberate fraud of the comic collecting community. Stealing money is stealing money, no matter how you term the exact form of extortion.

 

The chickens are comin' home to roost, Bobby Boucher. You reap the fruit of your selfish ways.

I hate to burst your bubble, and I'm all for someone catching eBay scammers, but this information is false.

 

I checked the X-Men and Spidey books. These are not the same books. I didn't bother checking the Hulk book.

 

The X-Men book being sold by bijoubaby has a lot of extra image at the bottom. The cut is completely different.

 

The Spidey book has a different cut as well. The one sold by bijoubaby has more image on the right side than the other book. Attached is a comparison of the right side, with two areas of note circled. The left book is the restored book, the right is the one sold by bijoubaby.

 

They're not the same books. Come back when you have done your homework a little more thoroughly.

 

...and WTTB. :foryou:

Lots of people crack CGC books and resell them at higher grades. Its not fraud.

CGC gives an opinion, nothing more. They wouldn't even back up their opinion with anything.

Selling a book you know to be restored as not restored is fraud. Calling a book CGC said is a 6.5 as an 8.0 is not.

I'm not defending this seller, I'm simply stating the facts.

I dont know, thats a slippery slope imo.

 

When you take a 6.0 slab or whatever, crack it out and sell it at a MUCH higher grade without any mention of its previous CGC grade, theres something wrong with that in my book. Now, i dont know if you can necessarily call it "fraud" but it definitely aint kosher.

 

I think almost EVERY single person on here would agree that if they bought a raw book and later on found out that it was cracked out of a slab and sold at a much higher grade, theyd be a little pissed off at the least.

 

Again, maybe it aint fraud, but it definitely isnt earning an honest living if you ask me (thumbs u

Deliberate withholding of relevant information.
