Ebay seller scam story-Paul Slapnicker Pauld49 BEWARE

[loubrown]

Nice to see that Ebay is looking out for sellers. I know, that's already a known thing that they do not. Sent off a 1956 Topps Killebrew to buyer/seller pauld49 (Paul Slapnicker out of Houston). Buyer claims he received a common 1958 Topps card. I know there is nothing that I can do about it. (we are now sending all singles with a sticker over the top load opening to maybe protect against this). I drag my feet and then go to look at his listings. I then see my killebrew that he did not receive in a lot that he sold. I contact ebay and they tell me that they will look into it but in order to proceed, I need to refund 50% and give the detailed explanation with photos. I should have asked why the 50%. It turns out that is there way to handle fraud. Just let the thief get 50% of their attempted scam. Ebay claimed that they are not card experts and it is not their place to really do anything. I've attached the images of the card that we shipped and the card he sold in his lot. Same scuff marks, same centering, same corners. Perfect match.

[JollyElm]

The matching white scuff mark on the hat says it all.

[ahumes13]

Don't give 50%, that's crazy. In most jurisdictions you can file a small claims case on your own and it costs very little. Would do this before eating 50%, I'm stubborn, but personally I would never let someone do that- you may end up eating the costs either way, which sucks, but it helps all of us if people like that have legal issues. At a minimum, maybe it makes them move on to a new racket.

[charlietheexterminator]

It absolutely sucks, sorry to hear this happened to you. Be patient, you might see it again.
It was about 15 years ago, I sold a T206 Cobb Red to some guy in Canada. The crook said he never received it even though I had USPS insured tracking on it. I contacted eBay, at that time, they said they can’t track packages going to Canada. I let it go, I proceeded to check this guys eBay twice a week. A little over a year went by and there it was, the crook posted my card for sale. I contacted eBay, I was refunded. Good Luck

[GrayGhost]

Such a great hobby and still so many crooks. These stories make me sad

[hcv123]

Ebay really needs to step up its game around these issues! I thankfully have not had any really costly scenarios yet, but have heard about way too many of them. Really curious why Ebay has chosen to be so one sided against honest sellers with a reasonable set of facts substantiating their position on this.

[cammb]

Hey, Lou. An eye for an eye

[loubrown]

I am way more upset at ebay than I am at the seller. I can block the seller. I can bash the seller. I can't protect everyone else from him though. That is Ebays job which they refuse to do. I already refunded the $25 before I realized that the reduced refund was ebays way of compensating me for getting stung. Unreal. I didn't even think about the metrics when I was on the phone with them but it likely still counts as a negative against me.

[chalupacollects]

Just go buy something from him now and pull the same stunt... Street justice...

hi howard they never will sad idiotic company

[bbsports]

For years I have paid with postal money order. They protect the buyer as they have their own lawyers. Years ago I won a 1968 Topps Mantle PSA 8. In the mail right before I received the card, he sent me the tracking number saying all sales are final. I received a 68 Mantle ungraded with creases and divots in the card. I contacted the postal authorities, filled out their form, and they tracked the customer down. Not only did I receive my money back, I filed criminal charges against the seller for fraud.

[savedfrommyspokes]

Lou, don't feel too bad, looks like this guy did the same thing to another seller with the 56 Aaron card that was in the same lot as your Killebrew. However, this other seller got a negative for sending the "wrong" card and then doing nothing.

[bobbyw8469]

I blocked that POS. I am just amazed that he is allowed to get away with it.

[GasHouseGang]

Thanks for the warning. I added him to my blocked list.

I don't know about blocking a seller, but you can block a buyer on ebay. If you go into My Ebay and pick the Account tab. Then under Account Settings pick Site Preference. Go down to Buyer Requirements and you can choose Edit on the far right to show your list of buyers to block. You can block those buyers you don't want to allow to buy what you are selling, based on stories like this.

[jchcollins]

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunate, but not surprising that eBay won't help.

[Jobu]

It took me some time to find the spot to block buyers. Here is a link:

[scooter729]

I just went in to block the buyer, but eBay is telling me pauls49 is now not a valid ID.

Is the buyer on here, saw what's going on, and just changed his ID?

Edit: I see in the original post that the ID is pauld49, which worked. The title of the post references pauls49, so that was my confusion.

A thread should be started listing beware of buyer.

[loubrown]

I have reached out to several sellers that have sold to him and he left feedback that indicated that he did the same thing to them (so yes he is an idiot). Looks like 20+ sales with the same comment. We'll see what ebay does when I provide with a list of 10+ sellers that he pulled the same crap with. Whats sad is that they have the access to all the conversations and should be reviewing it once I filed my claim. Guessing that they did not so I guess I have to do it for them. I'll continue to post on here what happens. The one guy that he left negative feedback for told him to take a hike because he knew that he was lying. His Aaron is in the same lot as my killebrew.

[Trigerb7]

Lou Brown,

I am just seeing this. Paul Slapnicker is trying to scam me now. He purchased 11 vintage cards from me on facebook. He informed me he is on social security and was buying to start a collection for his grandson. I put together a lot valued at over $70 for $50. I also sent him 12 ultramodern cards (trout, Tatis, ohtanI etc.) for his grandson. He paid per pay pal goods and services. He received the cards and reported he didn't get the Johnny Bench AS 1969 or a Hank Arron 1972 Action card. He eluded I scammed him. I sent pictures of the front and back immediately before packaging all 23 cards. I contacted the administrator on the facebook group and they kicked him out. I also blocked him. The next day he opened a paypal claim for $25 refund stating he only received 9 out of 11 cards.

Paypal says I don't have any evidence that I was scammed. I then researched his name which led me here. I read your post and see he is also Pauld49 on ebay. He is already selling 8 of my cards on ebay. Paypal asked for my address, they are telling him to send all of the cards back and then they will refund him.

I provided all the messages from facebook and also you forum post. I am sickened by this. It is not about the $25, its the principal at this point.

[Casey2296]

We should all buy cards from this slapdick guy and run his scam on him.

[Trigerb7]

Pay pal is asking for a screenshot of his full name address or phone number linking him to Pauld49. They need proof he is the owner of the account to deny his claim. I have no idea how I would get that unless he purchased from someone.

[gonefishin]

I blocked him - the story about the Grandson sickens me! I have a Grandson. He may inherit all my cards. I want him to know that ALL the cards in my possession I received honestly! What a turd.

[gonefishin]

I just checked, and pauld49 has over 3000 feedbacks and all are positive. Is this the correct user ID?

[toledo_mudhen]

Yea - Just saw the same thing

Pauld has over 3200 Feedback - 100% Positive

Probably need to make sure we are outting the correct person -

[Trigerb7]

Yes it’s correct. I am going to post screenshots. eBay won’t allow a buyer to receive negative feedback so you have to read the comments. I have posted one here. I am also posting out conversation and my cards already on his eBay page. PayPal is requiring him to send them all back.

[gonefishin]

Wow - crazy! Yes, I blocked the correct person. Good Luck.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

I blocked pauld49 as well. Pretty soon he'll only be able to buy Pokemon cards from the Philipines!

[bobbyw8469]

surfe-3 is another one to block. He tried to get me. And he DID get another seller.

[Pat R]

And this is a perfect example of the stupidity of ebay not letting the seller leave negative feedback.

I would like to know how many refunds or partial refunds this idiot has received.

Just take a look at his feedback left for others he had "minor problems solved". with every seller on this page 14 of them and all of them with different sellers.

[Eric72]

Added to my block list. Fortunately, I haven't dealt with him. However, I have had similar knuckleheads try this. I've always reminded them to look through the package thoroughly, make sure they haven't thrown an item away, held the line, and provided pictures of the items plus shipping label on an otherwise empty table.

If they persist, I'll thank them for alerting me to someone tampering with the US Mail. I'll let them know I'll be at the Post Office in the morning to talk with my local Postmaster and open an investigation. The buyer usually "finds" the "missing" item(s) later that day.

On the rare occasion on which I involved eBay:


Stick to the facts...NO emotion, name calling, accusations, etc.
Be POLITE...if you go into this with both guns blazing, expect the other side to return fire.
Be PERSISTENT with eBay...don't let someone scam you.
If the front-line CS Rep won't (or can't) handle your case, don't be afraid to ESCALATE it.

[55koufax]

Ebay claimed that they are not card experts and it is not their place to really do anything.

If eBay claims not to be card experts, why are we waiting two weeks + to receive a PSA graded card they intercept to authenticate themselves?

If they can authenticate cards without being "card experts" I'd like to know theit qualifications.......:p

Ebay does not do the authenticating. Graded cards go to PSA. Raw cards go to CSG.

Yes, I'm not sure of the threshold but any cards over $700? Get shipped to authentication.

If you are refering to eBay Authentication then yes, I did recently. Went smoothly:

Listed card on Monday September 19th
Sold on 20th
Shipped to authenticator on September 21, signature requested
Received notice of package received on Friday Set 23
Received notice of card authenticated on Monday the 26th
Payment released to me on September 28th.


As a first time seller (at least of anything of real value) I was happy to not have to worry about the "I never got it/I got an empty box/I got a different card" scammers.

[Trigerb7]

Yes that’s him.

[Trigerb7]

Unfortunately this sale was not through ebay. The sale was through a Facebook group and we completed the payment though PayPal goods and services. Papal has all of the information at this point and the case is still pending.

[commishbob]

Yes that’s him.

Azzclown just started a new FB group. I'd post a link to this thread but he's the Admin and would just delete it.

[Trigerb7]

Haha he starting a scammers for dummies group.

[raulus]

Yes, I'm not sure of the threshold but any cards over $700? Get shipped to authentication.

Under the current eBay rules, graded cards over $350 and raw cards over $250 go through the authentication process.

They also disclose that it’s “currently” free. We’ll see if that changes, and it so, how much they charge for it.

Lou, you should correct the sellers ID in your title. You have pauls49 but the correct ID is pauld49

That has been fixed.
Back to the scam. I have an eBay friend in a pretty high place that can help me with stuff like this, but since the second transaction wasn't on eBay, I doubt I can get help.
What a scumbag this guy is. He will get what's coming to him. Karma and all...

[JustinD]

As you have his address and it took me about 5 minutes to get it myself along with phone numbers and at least 5 email addresses it might be fun to contact his local post office and police station. The accumulated mail fraud might make a fun call from the local authorities. If you want to have fun with it, ask them to call on November 18th so you can give him a happy birthday.

Even if it likely amounts to not much criminally to the cops, the call might scare him off scamming more people.

[ushojh1]

If eBay claims to not be card experts, what (of the thousands of items they are the broker for) categories are they experts in?

Seems like a blanket statement for anything that is available on their site.

Leon,
I don’t believe a word this guy says. He told me he was buying for his grandsons collection. I added over 10 ultra modern cards for free. If he bought these for his Grandson why is he selling them all on ebay. He is a pathological liar.

[Pat R]

Looks and sounds like another Larry to me. If anyone is buying his story just take a look at his feedback left for others from his purchases. The last 30 purchases he made according to his feedback he had problems with 23 of the 30 most of them saying he didn't get all of the cards or "minor problem was resolved" and I bet that means he received a refund or partial refund with the same BS.

I have seen many posts about a certain guy. But my belief is that how can anyone claim they can identify a certain card unless they tampered with it. In that case it should have been sold to any buyer. To me every card has the same marks on it. You should stop bullying this guy. It's not the mature way.

I don’t mean to de-rail this thread, or dig up old dirt, and I apologize if there was a thread on this long ago. Back in the early 1990s anyone remember the scammer Joe Sak? He had advertisements in most of the hobby price guides and such. I remember as a youngster, my father sending away to him for some BS team packs (tcma team packs) and crap like that. I remember all the extra postage that guy requested and sase’s. Time goes by and we received a certified federal letter stating, they nailed this guy for fraud and many other things. He was stealing the extra, unused stamps that we sent in. I was like whoaaa.. The situation blew our minds.

I have seen many posts about a certain guy. But my belief is that how can anyone claim they can identify a certain card unless they tampered with it. In that case it should have been sold to any buyer. To me every card has the same marks on it. You should stop bullying this guy. It's not the mature way.

Ummm. What?

It's no surprise that, in English slang, to "nick" something (as in Slapnicker) is to steal.

Fraud
The illicit senses of 'nick' start in the later 16th century in reference to what was later 'chiseling': cheating or defrauding debtors and the poor for one's own benefit (sense III.15.a).

"How doth he nick the debter now by hault exacting wayes."

And I thought the name had to do with other inappropriate behavior:

knick·ers (nĭk′ərz)

1.
a. Long bloomers formerly worn as underwear by women and girls.
b. Chiefly British Panties.
2. Full breeches gathered and banded just below the knee.
[Short for knickerbockers.]

Slapping such might result in receiving a slap in return.

bass37 (p@ul slap.nicker) is obviously not this Paul Slapnicker character. For one thing, the 'p' and 's' are not capitalized. And there is an '@' symbol instead of an 'a', and a period is between the 'slap' and the 'nicker'.

Thus in conclusion, two different people who have somewhat similar (but when closely examined, not really) names.

1 - I don't know what you members are talking about.

We're commenting on Paul Slapnicker, a person against whom evidence has been presented related to fraudulent activity against one or more members of Net54.


2 - He has a perfect score on ebay for over 20 years.

Whereas it pertains to someone performing scams as a buyer, that's largely irrelevant. It is not possible for sellers to leave negative or neutral feedback for a buyer.


3 - How many of you can say that.

I can. So can many others on Net54.


4 - I think the bullying should stop.

Thanks for offering your opinions. However, some people would not consider anything posted within this thread to qualify as "bullying." There are differences between bullying and calling out a fraudulent actor. Bullying is offensive, in more ways than one. Calling out a scammer is much more of a defensive mechanism, used to safeguard and protect a community.


5 - Please don't act like 12-year-old children in here.

Good luck with that. You're addressing a group of individuals who collect pieces of cardboard with pictures of long-dead sporting men.

I can’t think of a PC way to describe the immensity of this man’s stupidity. It’s been pointed out directly several times, even with screenshots, and he doesn’t get it. Classic

[robw1959]

It absolutely sucks, sorry to hear this happened to you. Be patient, you might see it again.
It was about 15 years ago, I sold a T206 Cobb Red to some guy in Canada. The crook said he never received it even though I had USPS insured tracking on it. I contacted eBay, at that time, they said they can’t track packages going to Canada. I let it go, I proceeded to check this guys eBay twice a week. A little over a year went by and there it was, the crook posted my card for sale. I contacted eBay, I was refunded. Good Luck

Wow . . . eBay really had your back at that time. It seems as though the eBay seller keeps getting less and less of that kind of coverage as time goes by.

[robw1959]

For years I have paid with postal money order. They protect the buyer as they have their own lawyers. Years ago I won a 1968 Topps Mantle PSA 8. In the mail right before I received the card, he sent me the tracking number saying all sales are final. I received a 68 Mantle ungraded with creases and divots in the card. I contacted the postal authorities, filled out their form, and they tracked the customer down. Not only did I receive my money back, I filed criminal charges against the seller for fraud.

This is so good to know! If anyone can track them down, it's the Post Office.

[boneheadandrube]

FYI, Upon registration I called good ole "guy" and we had a pleasant enough chat. I only told him, something like, it looks like you have some issues going on. I forget what he told me but don't think he understood exactly what I said. Just wanted to throw it out there that he is a very confirmed member :).....until this saga is over. Then, probably not so much.

and a miscut F50 as it is seems fitting, somehow.

[bobbyw8469]

The problem I have with the whole ordeal is that it looks like he stole someone's card and put it in his own collection to sell. That is theft.

I used to think the flat-earther movement was a satirical or ironic group meant for chuckles and guffaws...similar to the "Birds Aren't Real" gang.

My daughter, who's more entrenched in internet culture then myself, pointed out to me, through dozens of sincere and earnest videos and testimonials, that it is in fact, not satirical at all.

Rather then being amused, it depressed me that people with this type of cognitive understanding of the world, not only exist, but exist in much greater numbers, and across more types of demographics then I could have ever imagined.

Either this Paul Slapnicker is a character straight out of a mid-90's Jim Carrey movie, in which case it's almost sad... or he's a straight up troll putting on a persona through a fictional character, to steal cheap baseball cards and garner ego points for riling up a vintage sports card chat forum.

I'm not sure which one is more depressing. :(:(

Paul>> "Listen, I'm a US postal worker and my mail truck is frequently ambushed by a band of backwoods, package-hating, survivalists. Maybe that's what happened to these items. Plus, I don't trust the seller. I think he regifted, then he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super bowl sex romp."

Me>> "Yeah, uh, interesting... So Paul, we all know what you did. Just give back what you took and all is forgiven."

Lou Brown,

I am just seeing this. Paul Slapnicker is trying to scam me now. He purchased 11 vintage cards from me on facebook. He informed me he is on social security and was buying to start a collection for his grandson. I put together a lot valued at over $70 for $50. I also sent him 12 ultramodern cards (trout, Tatis, ohtanI etc.) for his grandson. He paid per pay pal goods and services. He received the cards and reported he didn't get the Johnny Bench AS 1969 or a Hank Arron 1972 Action card. He eluded I scammed him. I sent pictures of the front and back immediately before packaging all 23 cards. I contacted the administrator on the facebook group and they kicked him out. I also blocked him. The next day he opened a paypal claim for $25 refund stating he only received 9 out of 11 cards.

Paypal says I don't have any evidence that I was scammed. I then researched his name which led me here. I read your post and see he is also Pauld49 on ebay. He is already selling 8 of my cards on ebay. Paypal asked for my address, they are telling him to send all of the cards back and then they will refund him.

I provided all the messages from facebook and also you forum post. I am sickened by this. It is not about the $25, its the principal at this point.

Clicking on one of the links for this guy's stuff on ebay, a different ID comes up: vtg-dd. Do these Ohtani and Tatis cards look familiar?

I think you guys are taking things a little too far. You guys should find something constructive to do rather than pick on a guy who has done nothing wrong. It makes me chickle every time I read these posts.

[bass37]

If you didn't run away and block him he was trying to contact you that he found the cards. When you block someone, they cannot contact you. So, who's fault is this? Certainly not his. He tried to right the situation, but you wanted to play games. This man needs an apology not bullied.

If not a rock, definitely related. Maybe more like pumice.

I’m not sure about anyone else reading this. But as a collector of baseball cards, I have never shipped or been shipped (cards) in a way that they could be lost in the same package as other cards. You either ship them or you don’t. It’s not like they were put into the folds of a box and the rest sent in the box. If your going to spin a story, at least use material that makes some sense. Even though we all enjoy the humor.

There are times when some of us bicker or even have heated discussions/arguments but the members of this group would never cheat someone in a card deal and in the rare occasion when someone does they're gone. Leon is pretty tolerant about most things but if you cheat someone on here you're gone as soon as he hears about it.

You keep bringing up "this guys" perfect ebay record well take some time and read these two threads "this guy" had a long standing perfect ebay record too.

[Trigerb7]

Hey Paul,

You claim you did nothing wrong. In reality you tried to scam me like you did countless times. I held my ground and discussed your scam with PayPal. They instructed me to upload my address for you to complete a FULL return for your $25. Once you figured out you had to send ALL the cards back it was over for you.

A friend of mine messaged you asking why you were selling cards you claimed you never received. In your response you referred to me as “acehighflush”. This was your cryptic message to me,
that I played the highest “poker” hand and you folded by closing the PayPal case.

This has nothing to do with you “finding the cards”. In reality you had them the entire time and were waiting for me to either refund you or you act like you suddenly found them.

And also, I will push this disgusting point! You claimed you were purchasing these for your Grandson’s collection. I was kind enough to throw in all of the ultramodern cards “trout, Ohtani, Arozarena etc.” You used quotes like “My Grandsons smiling”. Reality is your were smiling because this scam was working better because now you got more inventory to sell on EBay as Pauld49 and NOW changed to Vtg-dd.

I blocked you because I wasn’t about to engage with you. That’s exactly what you were looking for.

I despise people like you. All I can say is I pray that you will either stop this nonsense or eventually prosecuted.

Oh and by the way Paul…..I didn’t start this thread. I just piggybacked on it from freaking 2020.

Hey Paul, saw your listing on FB for a fossilized skull and femur bone described by you as evidence of Early Man in Ohio circa 20,000 BC. Sorry to inform you that is in actuality the remains of a Cabbage Patch doll circa 1984. Perhaps lowering your price from $1.2M to $1.20 would be appropriate.

I been following this thread and I have come to two primary conclusions: (1) something is fundamentally wrong with this Paul fellow (I don’t know how else to say it in a politically correct way); and (2) because of 1, no rational question, response or appeal to Paul will elicit anything other than a response that reaffirms that something is fundamentally wrong this Paul fellow.

Great idea!

[Trigerb7]

why did you block him so fast before you had a chance to find out he did have the cards. You didn't give him a chance. You use so many different names on here. Seems a little fishy to me.

Total transparency here. Please see screenshots below showing you or (he) told me several times you or (he) checked packages and you or (he) did not have them.

I even considered a refund but knew I sent them. After the back and forth there was no convincing it was a scam.

[commishbob]

I purchased these cards. From a Facebook member, what is wrong with that? I am being stalked by people who have nothing better to do with their time.

Calling you out as a scammer and laughing at your clueless responses does not equal stalking.

'Stalking' is serious business. What's being done to you is what cats do with a small ball of yarn.

[Trigerb7]

I only sell on ebay anymore. Facebook has all scammers. People think fake cards are reprints. Not true guys. Plus the fact is people selling on facebook are the scammers.They say mint condition HAHA more like fair condition. A guy in Kenner does that.

More fake news. I never claimed these cards were mint. I actually stated poor to fair.

You have made a great point I’m done. I will let the sharks continue.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

Hey Slapsticker, is it possible you have a local sasquatch that periodically rifles through your mail and may have initially taken these cards (only to later return them) so that you were confused at first and blamed the seller for not sending them?? Perhaps that's how they were available for you to resell almost immediately after "finding" them?

Just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here Pinsmacker.... :eek:

To be fair, post 101 threatens that someone might commit violence against him, and 103 is a threat from someone else that people know where he lives. This guy is a dirtbag fraudster moron, but...

[Eric72]

...You use so many different names on here...

Are you suggesting one individual may have multiple online personas? That would be as bad as joining a website and pretending you're not yourself. Who would do that?!?!?

[raulus]

I been following this thread and I have come to two primary conclusions: (1) something is fundamentally wrong with this Paul fellow (I don’t know how else to say it in a politically correct way); and (2) because of 1, no rational question, response or appeal to Paul will elicit anything other than a response that reaffirms that something is fundamentally wrong this Paul fellow.

That said, this is a top 5 thread of the past few years!

I'm almost convinced that English may not be his first language. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I'm getting that sense based on the action here.

some guy from Kenner LA uses many names. He blocked me first. Now I am blocking every name he is using. Facebook and ebay. I think he will get the message. acehighflush, velasj2006,

Paul, nobody is stalking you. We are in a digital playground here, sort of like the Matrix. Why don't you take a valium, smoke a bit of weed and go to bed, promising to find a new "hobby" in the morning.

You are not telling the whole story my friend. There are always 2 sides to every story. Blocking someone is an awful thing to do do when in the middle of a conversation.

[Tyruscobb]

I'm late to the party, but just read through the thread. I have a few questions that may help you explain what happened, and assist you in telling your side of the story.

1. The deal only involved 10-12 cards. I cannot image they came in a big box. You claim to have overlooked two cards, but then allegedly found them several days later.

Where were the cards hidden? How did you originally overlook them?

2. The private text/message thread indicates that the poster gave your grandson some free cards. You responded that they made your grandson smile. The same cards are now listed for sale.

How do you explain listing the cards for sale that allegedly brought joy to your grandson?

I don't know what happened or who, if anyone, is at fault. These are just a few questions that I think need answering.

[bass37]

remember there are always 2 sides to every story.

[butchie_t]

remember there are always 2 sides to every story.

yep, you are right. Your side, and the truth.

Diametrically (adverb (with reference to opposition) completely; directly: [as submodifier] : two diametrically opposed viewpoints.) opposed under these parameters.

Why are you still here? BTW

Butch Turner

[Leon]

Unbeknownst to the scammer, everyone but the emperor, sees he has no clothes on.
And to clarify your statement. There is his side, and his side, that he thinks we don't know about. IQ has to be right below a rock. This farce won't last too much longer.

We're all waiting for your -- sorry, his -- side of the story. Why are you posting cards that were for your grandson??

Why is that so hard to answer?

[parkplace33]

This may be the funniest thread I have ever read on Net54 :eek:

[EddieP]

Man, this guy’s slow. 1) He still hasn’t figured that we know who he is and 2) it took him over 2 years to found out there was a post on Net54 dedicated to him.

[brianp-beme]

I believe I have the answers to the following questions.

Cards can be sneaky little bastards prone to scurrying to dark places upon exposure to light.


2. The private text/message thread indicates that the poster gave your grandson some free cards. You responded that they made your grandson smile. The same cards are now listed for sale.

Obviously the grandson smiled greedily in anticipation of a monetary windfall when these cards were sold.

That is a good term to use "SHARKS" I would match my ebay scores with anyone on this site. Including the "SHARKS" I think this is a total waste of my time. But at least I tried. I will continue buying and selling since 2002. I will keep posting on net54 only to buy and sell.

[jayshum]

I've been reading this thread, but I didn't realize until after your post (that made me look back at the dates) that it originally started 2 years ago then was revived in September because a different net54 member encountered the same guy. Hard to believe how long this has been going on for.

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

Sweet! I've been looking for somebody repudiable to buy things from. Really itching for a '56 Killebrew. Got anything?

Paul, after all this, I seriously doubt anybody from this board would be the slightest bit interested in dealing with you. Caveat Emptor.

Hey Slap'n'Tickle, is your favorite movie Back to the Future?

Can you go back in time and find the items you said weren't in the envelope and return them to the honest seller who was kind enough to also throw in free items for you?

BTW, how are the grand kids doing with their PC?

Yeah, sorry, I guess our collective comments have brought life to some crazy banter.... a reply is likely forthcoming... "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

What can I tell you, I guess I'm starting to like this guy, Paul, he's a misunderstood genius of commerce! He comprehends even the subtle principles of mercantilism and imperialism! He's destined to be a titan in the world of sports collectables! How can one not be when you obtain most of your inventory for free? What a (disturbing) trendsetter this Slabstealer guy is!

[loubrown]

I know this thread kind of died off a month ago but as I'm just noticing it came back to life, I have to say that I am stunned that this deadbeat is still skulking around scamming people basically in broad daylight.

And as I see that he is on here and seeing all this and defending himself after it was completely revealed that he was scamming people left and right, Paul - you are a really bad guy. I love the old I'm on a budget and trying to get cards for my grandson line that he's used over and over again. What a POS.

[Leon]

He has been banned for several weeks, but he was on here.

I'm guessing he can fill all my Verne Clemons needs? I need his contact information, he's been blocked yet again. Always my luck to come to the party too late to fill my list.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

Slapsticker is mixing it up again... oh my!!

But seriously, defrauding someone for the sale amount of a card of that value should involve jail time. Unless the whole thing is a joke???

He knows PSA doesn't issue 9.5s, right?

[G1911]

He knows PSA doesn't issue 9.5s, right?

He doesn’t know. This is the guy who was too stupid to read that his name was on all of the posts he kept making and that we all knew who the Bass poster was. Not knowing a PSA 9.5 doesn’t even exist sounds exactly like this dipshit - very low effort scammer.

The authentication process may have been developed to help prevent fraud--once a card is receive and authenticated, they forward on to the buyer--

If the buyer tries to return the card, I assume the item first goes back through the authentication process, but not sure--??

Yes unless you have it set to no returns. I still offer 14 days and if the seller returns it the item goes back through authentication so the buyer can't scam the seller by returning something different. The authentication thing is amazing in so many ways by getting rid of the tricks scammers use.

I did not know this, and yes it does seem to be very helpful.

Not to do the cliché' "walked to school uphill both ways" moment, I remember in the 90's and eBay was sending a money order to the seller and then they would send the item. The postal clerk thought I was a weirdo getting 25 money orders at a time each visit.

I never once, not a once got ripped off because the feedback system worked pretty decently.

It would have been a snap to rip off people but we just live in a different time, different society, different attitude. More so, I guess it was too niche to bring these clowns on too.

Back then you could leave feedback for anyone at anytime, even if you didn't buy/sell to them. Also some sellers would extort positive feedback from buyers by holding their feedback back. Buyers were afraid of retaliatory feedback. The feedback system now still has flaws but its better than it was.

I really thought that Net 54 had chased this guy into the wilderness, but I guess not.
Two points. He claims that Mick is graded a PSA 9.5 (impossible) and posts a nice scan of him. But where is the slab, the evidence we need. Of course, it's not there. I think there are probably better scammers in the first grade than Paul.
And. Leon, in that cool pc you posted, I believe mustachioed Paul is the gent on the far right, slouching in the chair, hat pulled down to disguise his evil face. When the other guys asked about the 200 pound sailfish, Paul admitted that he ate it all on the way....raw, including the bill.

To the bold part. Yes that is 100% true. The thing most people don't get is scammers can be extremely stupid and still scam tons of people. They only have to be smart in one small area of life to be able to be a successful scammer. That is why you see bad baseball items from $1 to millions of dollars. There is a scammer for every part of the hobby.:)

I have also noticed in life those that always complain about being scammed and act worried about it are most likely to be scammers.

I get that there was the flaws, any system does.

Admittedly, I stopped selling on eBay about 3 months after the removal of leaving negative feedback for buyers. The option to block buyers with negative feedback scores or even without minimum feedback (I had mine set at a minimum 10 positive feedbacks to bid) kept my bad buyer experiences at a number near nonexistent.

All it took was less than 12 weeks of a buyer free-for-all for me to drop out for the past 15 years or so of selling on there.

In my experience I get about one bad buyer/seller every 100 transactions. Luckily nothing serious but a PIA.

The feedback system is completely worthless IMO. I just looked and one of the long time eBay scammers has a little over 10K feedback at 100% positive. This guy is such a long time scammer i remember talking about him back on the eBay forum section when they still let you post about scammers on their site.
