Where to post bad eBay buyers/sellers when dealing with steelbooks?

[bigjee]

Hi,

Recently I was scammed by a buyer on Ebay to whom I sold 2 Indiana Jones and 1 Ironman.

The buyer claimed he never received the package whereas I sent all 3 steelbooks in 1 package.

Click spoiler for the whole story:

[Show spoiler]
Canada Post cannot open an investigation until 45 days have passed after initially mailing the package.
I couldn't send it by XpressPost since the cost was too high and I could have sent it by In'l Parcel surface but it takes 4-6 weeks.
The only feasible option for me was to send it by Small packet Air which had no tracking but took 6-10 business days so that the buyer received his steelbooks in a timely fashion.

Apparently, when the buyer received this parcel he easily checked online to show if any tracking information was available
Since there wasn't he put in a claim and as of today (barely 10-15 bus. day after the transaction) PayPal has reversed the funds.
Now my only way is to get Canada Post to carry out an investigation but they won't do that until 45 days after the item was mailed out. So I can't do anything until Mid July (item was shipped out around June 6th)

Since 45 days is too long for PayPal, the funds I received have been sent back to the seller and apparently he has already sold those steelbooks on ebay.de for a handsome amount. (Using his account and his secondary account)

The user ebay user ID that bought from me:

(this last listing was updated as I found that he is selling all 3 sealed mint copies-just like mine were)
I first thought he'd be smart enough to open at least one or keep them.


Now I know that you're saying to yourself that the seller ID's are different but the Paypal email address from which I received the payment initially was:

pecotec-store@gmx.de

As you can see he uses his small account (shorty-100XXX) to scam sellers and then sells on eBay using his high rated account (pecotec)

So basically I'm left with nothing and this guy has walked away with 2 Indy 4's and 1 Ironman steelbook AND he has sold them on ebay.de for FURTHER profit.

So please let me know if there is a list of sellers/buyers that we can post so that in the future other blu-ray.com members don't go through what I did.

Also please ship with tracking number for any parcel and if it costs more for tracking number ~$60-80 to ship from Canada to Germany then let the buyer/trader know of what the charges are. Because you could be left with a claim on PayPal and ITS WHAT YOU CAN PROVE TO PAYPAL AND NOT THE TRADER that matters.

Sorry for the long message.
Hope this helps send a timely reminder to everyone that please don't ship without a tracking number.
And if the other person thinks you're crazy about shipping with such high cost then let him know that you are just making sure that nothing goes wrong.

How to contact eBay via Live Help:

The Live help button is no longer visible on the front main page of ebay websites.

So please don't think that Live help has been removed.
Its still there but just not that visible.

1. eBay Live Help

Keep in mind the wait times can be very long (up to 20-30 minutes after which they might direct you to method 1 i.e. ask you to call the number I have listed in the phone method)
