just an update...

after calling the seller out on redistributing recasts, i was given the option of a complete refund of the purchase price (including shipping) plus the cost to return the statue overseas. the guy seemed a bit spooked after offering up the solution of handing him over to sideshow and marvel's legal team, so that seems to be an easy way to cover your arse if you ever find yourself looking at a fake/recast.

Score one of the geeks then!

I'd still turn the ^^^^er in but thats just me.... Its one thing if he was just being an ass and selling a recast its another to lie about it being an original...

You're not alone.
I would get my money back and then turn his info in.
It's not like he can leave you negative feedback, since Ebay changed their rules.
 
now the a--hole is trying to pull me into his mess by asking me to relist the statue for the full purchese price and he'll simply buy it back. so he must think i'm completely retarded, huh?
by doing that, not only would i be out the ebay fees, but i'd be pulled into his mess by having listed and sold a counterfeit statue on ebay.
good thing i only pay for this stuff with my credit card and not by my paypal balance.
chargebacks, FTW!!!

:confused: What is that going to solve?!?! Doesn't make sense. I thought he was going to give you a refund and pay for all the shipping???? Yikes man, just get your money back and walk away..... Man, do we have a thread that list all the convicted recasters??? I think we should :naughty

he originally made it sound like he would just give me a refund, but now it's starting to sound like he's trying to get me in the mix. he's claiming that by dropping my paypal claim and selling the piece back is the only way he'll be able to give me a refund, which makes absolutely no sense.

Ummmmmm. Yeah, NO SENSE AT ALL!!! No mercy my friend.... To the Rancor pit he goes. File a claim, give it to him and don't use lube :arr

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Do not fall for this. Do a charge back if you have to but first escalate your Paypal claim. Follow through with them first before you do anything rash- I am pretty sure they will side in your favor.
 
I never realized that such an innocent seeming hobby could have such a dark underbelly. I guess where there is money there will always be scammers. Of course this is completely criminal as far as I'm concerned and this ******** should be arrested. They come after you for a $250 bounced check but allow these fraudsters to operate on Ebay and bilk people out of thousands...tragic indeed.

so i check my paypal account and there were two charges for 915.00 from my card on file. the first was to a verified user, but was refunded later that day. the second came a day later from an unverified paypal account that i never authorized. apparently my account was hacked somewhere along the way after i began questioning the authenticity of the statue.
so the guy starts threatening me with his 'lawyer sister' in california and tells me that i'm the one trying to rip him off. anyways, my card was refunded the entire amount AND i get to keep a fake iron man ex. since the charge was never authorized in the first place.
the result...

a full refund to my credit card, a bunch of new passwords to memorize, and a repainted iron man ex. statue that looks like the nebraska cornhusker football team of the future!!

thought about destroying it, but then i figured that sideshow's legal team might need som evidence.

buuuuuuuuuut i'm really considering having it repainted like a nebraska cornhusker football player... all red and white with a big red N on the side of the helmet :D
 
i think the most frustrating part about this is that sideshow isn't doing a god d-mn thing to shut these *******s down
