On February 24, Kenneth Kornylo contacted me via eBay to inform me he was a serious buyer and proceeded for the next 10 days to lead me on that he was going to purchase 30K worth of art from me at a 33% discount because it was supposedly for a non profit auction to help children.
His communication via email was outstanding until the deal was done and then he informed me via email that he was away in Europe and could not wire the funds for two more weeks..
We called his office and he was in!
He understood that I was selling my art because I needed to raise cash... in spite of any compassion he just led me on and lied to believe that he was a serious buyer.
In the interim, he obtained all the contacts from me that supplied the artwork that I purchased.
This is his original email on Feb. 24th through eBay:
We are very serious buyers and are extremely interested in this item. Few questions if you do not mind: can you show us a picture of the authenticity cert/document? Do you have your original receipt of purchase? If so, black out the amount and send us a pic of that. Plus what is the very lowest you can go on those frames? If we use the "buy it now" feature —will you give us the items (including the frames) all for that price? Thank you for reviewing our questions.

Sorry. Travel day today. Away on business for 2 weeks. We will take it the deal, we are not backing out. I cannot wire from the Europe or the US as I have to wire from my bank in Canada. It will not be until 2 weeks from now. The exact date is March 18th. Please give me your wire details and we will have the money wired into your account on that day. I gte back on the night of the 17th so can do it first thing in the morning.
We are really looking forward to this. Once you have received payment, maybe then we can see what other deals we can work on too.
Thank you again.
Ken
