BEWARE FRAUDULENT EBAY SELLER
 

Hi
please heed this warning.....fouind these two threads on the Millitary section on SFI. I had been following several nice Indo Persian swords he is 'offering' and was concerned others may be interested in what this guy is selling ....and get caught out.

According to the threads eBay have little interest :mad:

Thanks for the heads up. He has a LOT of pieces listed, right now. Note his exact spelling of name on the SFI forum.

And thus the internet is like the streets - BE VERY CAREFUL.


Yes thanks for the heads up - I have noted this information earlier in his career.

What name is this thief using right now and what specifically selling. I'd like to nail him good.

Well according to the the linked discusian a few days ago it was....

linky

But presumably he changes identitys as soon as he sees thier identified?

Heres the last 30 days listings.

sold... {+all auctions have ended.}

My real concern about this situation is the fact that eBay have not acted on the information. The 'ideal' that eBay promote ...is a 'safe' and friendly trading environment. :rolleyes:

It seems to me that profit is more important to eBay ....the 'safety' of power sellers secondary and then ....finally ....the 'safety' of buyers.

As far as I'm concerned, if eBay do not take steps to prevent fraudulent sellers ( and buyers) from trading , the situation will get worse ....as more and more unscrupulous sellers see the 'laxness' of eBays policies.

eBay has to realise that the BUYERS drive the market, afterall no buyers, no profit. Its hardly rocket science...... :rolleyes:

Thanks Spiral.

I agree with you David. I have reported a number of under handed dealings and e-bay did squat about it.

Thanks David
 

eBay may not act quickly, but at the minimum you are alerting a significant number of potential buyers. Thank you very much.l
