Vault comics is back.. and trying to scam people on eBay 1 1

[jason4]

Good old Gianni Amato, formerly of the vault grading fiasco linked here

Bought a walking dead 1 cgc 9.4 from me on Ebay. Sends message 7 days later after signing for it that the box was empty. Ya sure. Wish I would have known about him before selling to him. How has ebay not banned this guy? Did the same thing to another seller over a 2000.00 acetate variant of ult fallout 4 Of all comics of course he buys that POS. 

Also took a secret wars 8 out of a 1-12 listing and said it wasnt in the box to scam yet another person. I have messages and screenshots from everyone hes been scamming lately. 

Waiting for ebay to investigate while holding my funds. 

Do yourself a favor, if you sell on ebay or anywhere ban this user : comicart1

He said the missing books from comic shipments are happening to all his friends too. smh. I hope ebay does not side with him. The weight on the delivery is almost 3 pounds. Give me a break.

This would be my worst fear realized and I don't know how u could prove that it actually made it to the buyer

Lot of people (sellers) are dumping eBay

Not hard to see why

[universal soldier]

I rarely buy off eBay and stories like this keep me from ever wanting to sell there. This is crazy.

Stopped selling on ebay 2 years ago. never looked back.

I did have signature confirmation as required for valuable packages. Tracking also shows delivered and he signed for it, showing he didnt have a problem with the box. He also waited 7 days to open the case after delivery.

I try other platforms and stuff just sits. Ebay 1.00 auctions is a guaranteed sell sometimes more $$ with so many views and never had a major problem in 5 years but I get what you mean.

99/100 positive selling experiences the last 3 months. One partial refund but that was my fault.  I just got bad luck with this turd buying this book.

Sleep around enough and eventually you catch something.  

 

Sorry to hear you are dealing with this fraud.  Hopefully Ebay makes it right

I had a similar situation happen to me last year. Ultimately I got my money but it took a lot of effort. However I ampretty certain eBay refunded this persons money out of their own pocket. In the end if you are devoid of all morals it’s seems as if it is pretty easy to scam free stuff off of eBay. 
 

I posted about this if you’d like to read…

Passed it along to a few NYC collectors / PT Board members.  I am trying to figure out of the same sounds familiar from here or because I have seen the guy locally. 

Side note.  I did return to eBay but only to sell a handful of modern Star Wars figures priced between $10-30. I am not liking what I am seeing with how to manipulate not just eBay but USPS.

Thanks yeah I figured it was inevitable. I find out on the 15th and so does one of the other people hes trying to scam. After that it's either 1. Continue selling on ebay and video at post office entire box and ship process and send it to buyer for grails from now on to deter this nonsense further or 2. Never use ebay again and take this guy to small claims.

Did you ship USPS?  Tell Ebay that someone is committing the Federal crime of mail fraud, either you or the buyer.  And if they choose to conclude that you committed mail fraud, you want it to see an official report to a law enforcement agency by either Ebay or the buyer.  Might not work but might scare them enough to take you out of the loop and pay for it themselves.
