Wanna help compile a crappy ebay/net game/laserdisc/arcade buyer/seller list?

[Michael Helgeson]

Currently me and  a friend have a ongoing banned member list,that continues to grow. There are a couple of members on here that either sucked as a buyer,or as a seller,or both. There are a couple listed because of excessive profiteering off gamers too,but you will have to make  a personal judgment on wether you would want to deal with that type of person or not,or any of these people,but either way,this would be a great spot to place bad member ids.
The list:
 jcaleiras (currently purposefully selling a non working MVS Rage of the Dragons MVS cart,listing he has no way to test it so its as is,even though he has a consolized 1-slot and many MVS carts. His response to being busted was "Buy at your own risk".)

Fixing to be added to this list are shooters49ers for a item not received and no response to claim filed in paypal, and discountgames for a similar situation. They did not included in the package everything I had paid for,and they sent me damaged goods also including carts with badly damaged labels,excessive rental stickers,and a cart that was melted and warped on the back casing. This type of stuff was not listed in the details. Discountgames did send  a check for a slight refund,but I do not accept personal checks of any type when its ebay involved,checks from unreliable members tend to bounce,and they have not to this day responded back to the dispute/claim opened on paypal.

I did the above to their check and mailed it back to them. They tried to refund me outside of paypal hoping I would drop the claim so it wouldn't go on record. Note they didn't even make the check out to the right person involved. They made it out to my girlfriend,who is listed on the second address on my paypal account.

Update: After digging further into things on Discountgames  I found that they receive over  a 100 negatives a month,but they usually get unnoticed by the percentage system because the seller sells over 15000 items a month. About every negative left has been for not receiving a item,or getting wrong item or something. Discountgames always leaves  a generic negative feedback in response,even though the buyer is not at fault,only the seller. Basically Bullseye on a mass scale,but with semi-lower prices on some items. Its too bad because they do have a nice selection of games with what would be fair prices if not for the fact of all the problems involved.

Not just eBay, but everywhere you see "invideo2002" AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. You have to threaten him with legal action just to get your stuff, and then it's in SHITTY condition.

His supposed name is Daniel O'Rear, if that's his real name, and someone can trace his home address (I think he ships from an office) let me know via PM, and I can make sure that at least ONE scammer never scams again.

I'd name more but the faggots are no longer registered on ebay.

Update to Shooters49ers. Paypal granted me a refund today. In response to this I got a email from Shooters.

 I hope your happy with your free game you crook!

I gave this seller a month for the item to arrive,and it never did. He is possibly a lair and obviously a jerk.

[guyjin]

listing usernames won't help much, since it's too easy to just drop them and get another. (it makes sense for the big sellers, though.) for the smaller sellers, you should list name and general location, if not their address.

[Michael Helgeson]

If you look the name up it will show if they changed names. And if you are  a seller and wish to ban them all you have to do is copy the names and paste then on your blocked member page. If they change their id name it gets updated on the blocked page automatically .If they create a completely new account then sure,that does make things harder,but I think you can also add their email address,and it will block any id that is registered with it.

Id rather do this then not,nothing is 100 percent effective,but it still helps. Like lets say a seller on one of these list has ripped people off before,and you have  a paypal claim open against him. If he is mentioned by others,not just yourself,you can give  a link to this thread to paypal during the claim process. They tend to look at everything I have ever sent them in regards to a claim during the review process,and so I have as of yet not had problems with  a refund from a crappy seller. It really helps if you can show the seller does it often to others in or outside of ebay.

[Kitsunexus]

Those really ballsy types AREN'T going to change their names, so this is still a nice list to have.

Put that f*cker on the list.

Those ids you listed have been added. Also,possibly soon to be on there is a starlitegaming.
Star Lite Gaming sells arcade parts it seems,and has 100 percent feedback. I decided to give them a try only to now get  a couple of messages from other customers of theirs asking if I have gotten any contact from this seller,or my item. They said it has been over 2 weeks since they have paid and have not received anything from the seller. After this I contacted other customers of this seller who purchased the exact same item I did,a RGB to NTSC encoder for a customer,and the people I sent messages to confirmed they have not received anything from the seller either. One of the buyers lives very close by the seller,so there is not much excuse for this.

I have opened a dispute over the matter,and listed the complete situation in the message box for the seller to read. If no proof of item shipped is sent to me by friday I am bumping the dispute up to a claim. Sometimes even the best sellers can go belly up and try to clean house before they run. It end sup taking a few weeks for people to even figure out what has happened sometimes. A local friend of mine has also said that they have been spamming the Neo forums here and there,which makes me wonder even more then before about this seller.

Do some research on that feedback, I'd be willing to bet most of it is fake praise set up by them.

[Michael Helgeson]

Their feedback looks legit,but these days who knows. I tried to send  a fax to them,but it failed.



Your fax to Star Lite Gaming at 7709091064 has failed after 5 attempts.
   - The phone company reports a problem with that number
      (it might be disconnected or a bad area code, etc.)


Thank you

I had a tremendously bad experience with a seller over Christmas.

Basically I had managed to get an XBOX 360 and paid for it and all, for wife for Christmas.

Seller never ships.  Had "good" feedback (like 98% positive or so).  You know, out of the other 2% at least some of those buyers were probably asinine anyway.

But that isn't my point.

The funny part is, right before the seller went MIA with my cash and undoubtedly many other people, on eBay he purchased a damn ROLEX!  Which costed 3/4 thousand dollars.

Then turns up no longer a registered member.

Friggin ROLEX, man.  May he burn in whatever infinite pain.  That SOB ruined Christmas for many people.

What I don't get why spend so much time building yourself up to become overall appropriately presentable on eBay and what not, only to turn around and accept cash from lots of people (and not ship) and use it on a watch then hit the road?

Insane.

But man a ROLEX.

Michael, this is a great idea. I'm sure a lot of folks will find this useful.

And, even if sellers start new accounts to hide their unsavory past, the process of starting anew is annoying. At the very least, I want these bastards to work harder in order to scam folks.

[Michael Helgeson]

I am adding Star Lite Gaming. I got a refund from them,but only after exposing everything that was going on including a dead fax number and insisting that if they can not prove shipment of my item by friday I was going to bump the dispute to  a claim. I let other customers of theirs know too. Also,I forwarded the only reply I ever got from them,from this morning,to every member that contacted me about them. On the reply Star Lite said they did not have the encoders even in stock,because of a "mishap" they say they goofed and shipped every encoder they had to one customer,and are in the process of getting them all back,but said if they could not they could get more on the way.


They insisted on blaming a competitor for other members contacting me,which is highly doubtful. The truth of the matter is they were not replying back to customers,nor sending them their items. Thats why all this madness has been occurring. If even a bit of the above is true then they need to pull the encoders listed off ebay,and send notice to every customer. However,I really don't believe any of it. I don't believe it possible to f*ck up so big on accident. I think they are either up to no good,or they simply ran out of stock long ago and persisted on continuing to take orders with the intention of filling them when ever the items make their way from Asia or where ever,which could be weeks on end.

Thanks Michael, good list.
FYI, I've seen 3secsnipe buying a lot of Turbo games recently, including one of mine!  He won a copy of Alien Crush from me.  In my terms, I stated that payment must be received within 3 days if the buyer was paying with paypal.  I got my money from him over a week later after a friendly reminder.  Looking at his paypal address (when I finally got it) it turns out that 3secsnipe is none other than asemasterautotechnician.
Asemaster also sniped an auction from me recently for the 2nd time (oh course, I do some sniping from time-to-time, but he's a STORE! *hurmph* ).
 

Seller never ships.  Had "good" feedback (like 98% positive or so).  You know, out of the other 2% at least some of those buyers were probably asinine anyway.

98% feedback is ok if someone has one or two hundred transactions under their belt, but if you're dealing with a seller who's hustling large quantities of merchandise, stay away from them unless they have at least 99% positive feedback.

Yea I knew it was Asemaster. Back when we had this big massive debate about resellers I had mentioned that I had banned his buyers account. How I found out it was him was that he used that 3secsnipe account to win a Gate of Thunder copy from me. What was funny was that it was a copy I bought from him like 3 months before hand. Hes a really nice guy and all,as far as a seller goes,but I just don't like to sell to resellers out to make  a profit. I explained the situation to him and he took it well. Id rather hopefully know I am selling possibly to a gamer that just wants the item for themselves,if at all possible.

I get knocked for this,but its just something I stand firm on.


My rating is 98.5 percent. I only have  a couple of negatives from buyers,and it was buyers who received their item,but were being unreasonable in some manner,or in the case of my first negative,from a wacko who thought he could pay by any method he chose,even though I stated what I accepted clearly in the auction. I left the guy a neutural and he gave me  a negative in return. Any other negative is from bad sellers who I had to file claims on. I have had to do this quite a bit.
