He's almost completely off ebay.... he does have this user ID still active so keep your eyes open board members

 

 

mpaulhela with a total feedback of 2 (3+, 1-) and one of the positives he gave himself whilst shilling his own auction. Hmmmmmm methinks that would be grounds for suspending that account! Follow-up anyone?

Nopimps or shall I say nopinups de-registered himself. Ebay contacted me and the email seems to indicate that they might have kicked him out but they state that he de-registered himself. I think nopimps/nopinups felt the heat and concluded that it would be best to scram. His MO suggests that he will open up new eBay accounts and eBay will let him do so.

 

Here is part of eBay's email:

 

 

 

 

Thank you for writing in to Safe Harbor with your concerns. My name is

**** and I'm happy to help you further.

 

In reviewing your email I understand that you have several concerns:

- concerned about (nopimps) having other accounts, and

- you received threatening email from this member.

 

 

First, I reviewed your report and found that appropriate action has been

taken on (nopimps, helahor3, hhornbyuser and dd168miller) in accordance

with our site policies.

 

Our actions might include:

 

- Issuing a warning

- Suspending the member temporarily or indefinitely

- Terminating the membership

 

At this time, our records indicate the member you reported is no longer

a registered eBay user.

 

 

With regards to (mpaulhela), we've determined that there isn't enough

evidence to suggest that a violation has taken place.

 

We understand your concern about this situation, and can reopen the

investigation if you have any additional information to share with us.

 

For the protection of all members, eBay can't provide details on any

individual investigation or account. We hope you understand that this is

why we won't be able to share with you the outcome of our investigation.

 

 

To learn more about what eBay investigates and how to report different

types of violations, go to:

 

http://pages.ebay.com/help/confidence/programs-investigations.html

 

 

Second, I am sorry that you have received this unwelcome email.

 

Unfortunately, if the message was sent via the member's own email

service, eBay doesn't have the authority to take action....

Thanks wrcomics.

Some bad news. Nopimps/nopinups had another selling account in which he swindled a number of the faithful. The ID is sgm2412. Here is a link of recent completed sales. You will no doubt recognize many of these recent scam auctions and the IDs of those who won them. I am copying and pasting these recent sales here so that we don't lose the items in the next 30 days. The IDs of the winning bidders are listed at the end of each auction. I wonder how many of these people know they have been scammed.

The fraud was apparantly shipping empty boxes to bogus addresses then copying the receipts and showing them to eBay and Paypal to avoid getting caught. Evidently, eBay and Paypal bought it hook line and sinker.

Ebay has let nopimps/nochips back in. His new name is helathor6. Check out the link. Recall that his other known user IDs are: helahor3, hhornbyuser, dd168miller, and mpaulhela.

I am convinced that you could sign up on eBay as Osama Bin Laden and eBay would give you an account and full seller priviledges.

you really should stop calling the man "nochips." nochips - a fine member of the board in good standing, and a pretty damn good grader - has nothing at all to do with this scumbag

Sorry for the mistake nochips. It was "nopinups". Thanks Sal for the correction. Nopimps has so many aliases that I got them mixed up. eBay has pulled his latest nopimpo ID. He'll be back again I'm sure.

 

 

Yes, I did it, whatever it is I did all of it! I lied about everything, stole from everyone and worst of all I enjoyed it.HE He HA Ha Ho Ho!

 

What was I accused of anyhow? I will be happy to admit to that as well.
