Won the ebay bid for a replacement laptop LCD screen 09/05/08 for $83.00 Used PayPal to transfer funds (ALWAYS whenever possible). Received by USPS on 09/17/08 tested failure/broken. E-mailed contact to return for refund. Accepted terms and UPS back to Toledo, OH by 09/23/08.
Waited until 10/26/08 to make next e-mail contact as to why the delay? He says file the claim with PayPal for quick response. PayPal claim period ends at 60 days. Recontact by e-mail and he says he'll send me a money order. Wait until 11/30/08, no money order...
Contact by e-mail offer to pickup in person while visiting friends and family during the holidays. "He" finds my tone offensive and threatening and claims to make report to local police for protection. I e-mail a prompt to get it together and expect me along with Santa Claus or simply send me my money now!
I have since found several other ebay buyers going back to 2004 who have had the same treatment from this scammer. Don't do any kind of business with this guy unless you have money to burn...
Stay tuned for more holiday news...
