You could give him a negative comment positive feedback.

I think negative comments under +ve ratings is one of the grounds for removing feedback.  Had already left fb as my sale ended a couple of weeks ago without problem.

Daisy Hill is a suburb on the southern side of Brisbane.  I'm quite happy for him to fire the next salvo because I've nothing to worry about and I suspect it will come back to bite him especially if he does go to the Police.

It probably sounds a bit naïve but I think he has pulled a shonky with the Ebay sale to himself, he's been erroneously told that it's not genuine and he's then flown off the handle prematurely and inappropriately.  All the threats were his way of going on the attack.

At last I've become a "member" of the forum with 50 posts.  I rather liked being a "junior member" as I approach "old mid age".

he sounds like too much of a crook to go to the police
I agree with nevol, you may find that he tries the same con on other sellers as well

mate, always use registered post. paypal have to have proof of postage or they can renege on you big time

xx good luck with this, sounds like a nasty piece of work to me

just the language of it reminds me of a nutty seller and buyer who was on Oztion, then they went over to ebay , very threatening, very English as a second language in the abuse. Gee, i'm trying to remember as they tried some nasty stuff on myself and many other coin folk as well both on oztion and ebay. Very abusive and threatening, trying to bully people into handing over money. might come back to me later.

STEVE , I had the same trouble with a guy from parkes nsw years ago on ebay . sent him a 1985 set of proof coins with a cert , he jumped up and down for a while then sent them back for a full refund claiming the cert was from a 1987 set , so I gave him a refund for the full amount including post both ways , then I realised the cert,s are all the same for a few years and don't have any date on them at all .
 so I then forgot about him , blackban him from bidding on my items ,and got on with my life .. he was just a wanker .      ,, kel ,,

[Ozcoins]

I would be looking at the appropriate way of reporting this to police as well.
The problem with people being allowed to get away with this crap is it encourages them to do it again.
They need consequences to stop it continuing.

just a wanker

Love it Kel ....... tell it like it is!!!:laugh2:

Sometimes people set out from the start to try to screw you.  We had someone make a particular (and quite unusual) request for proper packaging for some rolls he bought a few months back.  "Just in case they split".  And of course when he got them he complained about them being split.  He was the first person in hundreds of packages who complained about poor packaging.  And I can tell you PPH agonises over her packaging.  If there's someone who takes more care with their packaging than she does I'd love to meet them.  

Clearly in this case, and our guy with the "split" rolls they set out to try to screw the seller.  Shame on them.

Yeah I second that Mark, PP packs stuff really well and I commend her on the top work :hi:
I try and pack stuff well
I commend her on all her business, really good to deal with :good:

Even if the coin is a fake, he would have no grounds to go to the police. Caveat Emptor.

Assuming he could find a Federal Police officer to report the crime (he might find one at an airport), they are not likely to listen to him.

Steve, it might feel bad to receive negative feedback, but the worst you should concern yourself with is having to deal with someone who is clearly out to deceive. I would ban him from as many communication channels as possible and not entertain any further contact.

Having been an Ebayer for 10+ years I can tell you now that you should close your paypal account or unlink you CCard and bank account from it ASAP, because if he lodges a dispute Paypal WILL take money out of your account, I have had it done to me over very similar circumstances, the only way I got my money back was by taking him to the ATM after paying him a visit

[robbiegal]

hum
I was thinking about that this afternoon & how Paypal can just waltz in and take the dough

[Coins from Vending]

OK here is what you need to do to save your backside, screen shot your images and your ebay listing, screen shot his photos of the coin and his ebay listing, highlight the imperfections on your coin and note those exact same imperfections on his coin he sold, this will be needed if Paypal come after you for a refund.

I have already saved all of his photos if you need them, though by his grammer he don't sound real smart and probably wouldn't think to remiove the images from his auction
I don't think you will haveanything to worry about This is what I am going to send him, I have a mate who works in the fraud squad with the CIB for Qld police, play golf with him 2-3 times a month, I am sure he will like an open and shut case that would be solved with the inspection of images of your ebay sale and that of his a few days later??

This is what I propose to send the scammer if you have no objections I'll send it tonight?



Just curious as to why you left that fellow negative feedback about the WAVY 20c peice, I have looked at the images of the coin he sold you and it has a chip in the rim straight above the 2, then in the top of the 2 it has a little nick in it plus a few very obvious chips in the rim.

Then the 20c wavy coin you sold a few days later coincidently has the exact same chip above the 2 in the exact same spot, and the 2 has yep you quessed it the EXACT same little nick in it, I have also spoted about 12 other little marks on the coin you said was fake but are the exact same marks on the coin you sold, quite a few on the rim of the coin, clearly you have just sold the coin you got and now claim it to be fake, and now you threaten him for a refund and to go to the police. Do it, go on do it, because he has all the pictures of his and your coin and it will be you who gets charged with fraud, I have  mate who works in the fraud squad with Qld police if you want his phone number?

[robbiegal]

if I am looking at the right buyer/seller
he had an 'unsold' lot - 2 x PROOF 1964 pennies
start price $19.99

a number of his listings/sales looks quite suspicious
I reckon this bloke is a real piece of work

[ausjack]

well I think we should all send him the same email so he knows that we are all together on this and agree it's real and he's the fake :good: what would you think if you got 20 emails the same but from all different people and see what ebay has to say about that..we to can use modern tech to help us

[Ozcoins]

The threat of police being called by the purchaser of this coin is basically a lie.
The LAST thing a scammer wants is police involvement.
