Bikertn2 of Ebay sold my kid a box of baseball cards with the 2 good rookie cards removed. The box was all raggedy. It was not in the shrink wrap like he said in email. When bikertn2 was contacted, he said that:
1. Someone at the post office opened the box and stole the cards. Contact the post office.
Or
2. TOPS forgot to put the good cards in and to contact them on this old set.
Or
3. You know how kids are. One of my son's friends probably stole the cards when he was not looking. Oh well.
Bikertn2 tried to offer some random cards to replace the cards not included in the set. My kid ordered the full set for a reason. He wanted a full set and with the two good cards.
Then, bikertn2 tried to say that we didn't have a kid and were trying to game him. This same family has 100% perfect scores (two of us) at Ebay other than bikertn2 and his revenge rate. We've bought full sets before. We bought this same set from another honest dealer at Ebay.
We are not card sellers. Our kid is not. He plays with his cards. They are not likely to be mint ever. Who cares? He just likes cards.
The deal bikertn2 tried to cut was give him glowing feedback. Then, he would send back part of the money with a good cut for him in addition to his shipping which was over-the-top. We'd end up with NOTHING. He would have money plus the rest of the set. This would ensure positive, happy feedback on our end in exchange for fabulous feedback on his Ebay report.
If you look deep in bikertn2's feedback, you'll see some negatives. Those took some b*s. This guy threatens the heck out of anyone cheated. He sure dropped the F bomb on us, and that's not the way we talk here. It's much easier to chalk it up. Click again to find his nasty revenge comments on those who stood up and said this guy's bad news. Note also that in Oct that he retracted 68 Ebay bids. What's up with that? How often does a finger slip and buy and then retract?
I've bought stuff online for 8 plus years. I've had a few minor rip offs, but I've never been ripped off plus been lied to and threatened on top. I've never reported anyone before. And, I can tell you that Ebay did nothing. That's really the sad part. They've set up a system that can be gamed bad. They send the "so sorry" bot emails. When someone like bikertn2 sells enough stuff to make it worth their while, they don't care how he gets positive feedback. They make some money. They aren't digging deep when it lines their pockets.
