I ordered five books from Gemco13. One didn't exist, two were SEVERELY overgraded (9.0s were actually 4.0s) and two were fine. So I ask for a refund on two and send them back. In the meantime, his eBay account was NARUed. He gets the books back, and sends me a refund for all three, then tells me I tried to steal the last book from him by not sending it back with the others. I reminded him that I only wanted to send two back, which he agreed to, so I resent payment. Two days later he files a non paying bidder report on four items. Absolute insufficiently_thoughtful_person. My patience at an end, I left five well deserved negs. I don't enjoy being called a thief not once, but twice. I woke up today to find five retaliatory negs in my profile and a request from him for mutual feedback withdrawl. I told him to stick his proposal where the sun don't shine.

 

Absolute scumbag.

If possible, ebay has become even more laden with deadbeats and reprobates in the last year or so. I'm having good luck buying off of it, but selling is another matter entirely.

 

Good for you for taking a stand. Funny how on the 1st page of his feedback, under the feedback that was mutually withdrawn with another unhappy buyer (fuddhawk), it says "scam artist". Looks like that buyer still managed to get in a parting shot. grin.gif

Thats so unlike my experiance,I don't know what to say.I found his books slightly overgraded(but I'd taken that into account when I made my offer)and he appeared a bit disorganized. Sorry to hear about your problems.. If he's NARU'd how did you and he exchange negative feedbacks?

He is back on eBay now. He said he fell victim to a phishing scam and it took a week or two to get his account back online.

I take it the pics weren't good enough to show the diff between 4.0 and 9.0? They must have been pretty sad pictures. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Like somebody else said, Ebay seems to have gotten much worse in the last year, and I agree.

You should post this in the General forum as well Andy so everyone can see it.

 

I was thinking about doing that, but then I figured this sort of thing should be limited to the marketplace. If the guy had actually stolen a book or money from me I would for sure...
