BEWARE on ebay

Recently my (item# 190179017043) 3rd last ebay purchase was sent to me (within like the last month.) Now like most people I buy from on ebay I ALWAYS check out their feedback even if I have to go back 30 pages to find the one negative comment someone left. Now I got the item and like normal I left my feedback: Item is a bootleg. I want a refund, MAY consider mutually taking feedback away.

Now notice that I say I want a refund and THEN I MAY consider taking my feedback back. Anyhows...I get this back from the seller: Not a nice deal. anyway, thanks

Message from seller: Please Accept our Great Apology. We know we did something wrong to you. Would you mind to forgive and withdraw negative feedback each other? Sorry again. thank you very much. have a nice day.

This pretty much say's they ADMIT that they apparently know that what they are doing is wrong etc...So in a long story short I feel that they purposefully gave me negative feedback so If I wanted to save myself from having something negative on my feedback list I will HAVE to withdraw it. Which I'm not.

-----[follow up comment] (19-Nov-07 04:27): GOT BROKEN IN 2 MINUTES, BEWARE!! BAAAAD ITEM, BAD SELLER, WON'T REFUND!

I have emailed with ebay about this, taken this to the "resolution" center and also reported this seller to http://www.econsumer.gov/

I hope to warn people/collectors from this person, I wanted to just confirm that this person does sell bootlegs as there were as you can see above in the feedback myself. I'm actually kinda sad that I did and should have trusted myself. This has seriously damaged my ebay buying thoughts, I probably will just stick to my friends who sell on there and people I have bought from before that sell only LEGIT items.

Ebay/Paypal wants me to SEND the bootlegged item BACK to this person with my own FUCKEN MONEY!...HELL FUCK OFF HEY!....I am not paying out of my own pocket for something that they will just pawn off onto some other person.

I was just talking to my Mum about this and we have decided to just RTS it, also Mum has pointed out that the figurine is broken...Lovely right?... Either way I am really not satisfied with the service I have gotten from the seller, ebay or paypal. I JUST WANT THIS PERSON GONE. Seriously how can someone SLEEP at night selling people bootlegged shit?...My god!


Please help me keep people away
from buying from this person.
