I was trying to buy a bunch of Grand Casino No Cash Value chips from a seller on Ebay named...

Smackdown1010

He made a decent offer but he only had some pretty terrible photos of them. I was trying to buy 3000 of these for some decent sized money. I asked to see more photos.

He says he sent me pics to my gmail account. But each time I checked... Nothing. Finally he asks for my shipping address and sends a photo of all the chips on his pool table. It's quite impressive and I liked them. I asked him how he was going to ship them and he says that he says that he is usually ships them in bags!

I send an email back asking if he will use some chip boxes that I'd send him. No response, except one asking when we can close the deal and an paypal address. I ask him to send an invoice through paypal. He says he sent two invoices to that account. I check paypal. No invoices.

I tell him that I didn't recieve them. He asks for another payment. Now I ask him to call me. I don't hear anything for a week. He sends an email today asking when we can close. I ask him to call me again, and now he starts saying that I'm stalling and he has been doing all the work. He sights that I requested pics, invoices, fedex and that he was doing everything from his side and that I wasn't honoring the deal.

I call him on it and tell him to call me. He still doesn't call but says I need to pay him.

He comes back and says that he agreed to my shipping instructions and that I said I recieved the invoices that he sent through paypal and Ebay.

This is not accurate as he couldn't have sent an invoice through ebay because we were outside of ebay. This guy was either scamming me or too stupid to put me at ease and talk to me on the phone.

I'd say stay away... Major red flags with this guy.

What a nightmare!!!



I've been lucky with eBay, while not making that many transactions I've had no problems whatsoever even when living in NZ.

that really sucks, cause those grand casinos are sweet. well, at least you can always go take it out on blondewidow! (just a joke for those of you who didn't read harlequins post the other day!)

thanks for the heads-up.

Yeah, scammah!

[Harlequin011]

Wow,

This guy still won't stop emailing me.

I just reported him to ebay for harrasment after I told him to stop contacting me.

Stay away from this lunatic!

I added him to the block list because he was acting crazy, and I thought he was going to try and sabotage one of my auctions.
