So what?! Everyone has learning point. Just because you've been here longer, just because u r senior, just because u r more experienced in collectible field mean that u are any better than any of us.

So if you don't like newbie like me sharing, complaining, or discussing then just don't read or leave any comment.

I respect many of elders in this forum but most of the time people just troll and leave bad comments, argue and stuff like that. Make me care less to participate in discussion or thread.

Correction, just because they joined here on this site before you doesn't make them any more senior of a collector then you. I've probably been collecting longer than some of these "senior" members on this board, and probably older than most of them too. They may be more experienced at navigating these boards here at sideshowfreaks, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are more senior then you at collecting. When I joined onesixthwarrior back in 2006, I didn't consider myself more senior then some that joined in 2008 or later because some were older than me and were collecting way longer than me. So "when" you joined a particular forum or site does not, in any way, shape or form, dictate how experienced you are as a collector.

Just don't mind the grumpier members that have been here longer than you. Some of them are a little insecure with themselves so they have to tease and put down others to make themselves feel good. Or maybe they were bullied when they were younger, and just want to take it out on you. If you let them get to you, then they've already won. Just ignore the seniors who haven't had their diapers changed in a while, cuz deep deep down, they still love you. :wink1:

Not all the senior members here are jerks. Most are very cool. It's just the few bad apples that tend to taint it for everybody. And don't worry, you should get your money back.

Just because you're a NEWB has nothing to do with getting ripped off on ebay.
FYI Darthkry is not a NEWB. In fact, he's been on these boards longer than you.:wink1:

Just an FYI I've been doing this ebay/collecting crap since I was 15 and I'm 31now..So go figure. I just have too much faith in people. I also believe in karma, so be it. :)

Can we do more than this? I want to tell ebay about this but contacting their CS is like hoping to win a lottery. I hate to call them. but instead I can call paypal.

They maybe able to track these id whether under the same person.

There's one guy from malaysia PM me on ebay and asked about my negative feedback on jcestay.

Save one life there lol.

Yeah, it's really tough to talk to a live person on ebay, which is why I usually use the paypal resolution center. Only problem is, shipping is not reimbursed. Nevertheless, It might be best to try and contact ebay because the scam is happening on their site, and thus they can most likely act quicker to shut him/her down compared to paypal. Further, I don't think paypal has the resources to do a thorough investigation because ebay is just one of the other several thousands of web companies that they have to support.

And kudos for saving that person. One less victim. :duff

I saw that. Some poor schmuck bought it.

Those chilean hot toys listings are hard to resist. They look so good that people who are unaware of their scam are willing to take the risk despite the 0 seller rating.

maybe someone should just buy it and then quickly post neg feedback without sending payment. :wink1:
 
Why anyone would take a risk of losing several hundred dollars on an item that seems too good to be true from a seller with ZERO feedback as a seller baffles me. I guess they've got faith in the eBay/Paypal dispute resolution process, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket.
 
Wow this is going to ruin a bunch of collectors. I mean after getting screwed over like this might just make you rethink buying off of eBay in general.

Good idea actually. But will u be obligated to make payment or not?

How to make fake ebay id? I haven't done it yet. Maybe we all should be making one and buy all the listings posted by those sellers. Then leave feedback after that.

Some people are desperate. Some are new. When I was new to ebay years ago I was scammed. So there's alway new people :)

This has to stop.. Seriously..

Yes, but how? Reporting to ebay is the best thing. But who wants to sit and wait calling ebay maybe hours to get to talk with live person.
