Below is a link to the listing he duped me on.

The seller listed the item on eBay, and then successfully lured me to complete the the deal off line, after responding to my eBay best offer. I had reservations, not knowing him, seeing he had some bad feedback, and I should have known better, but I decided to give it a shot when he agreed to allow me to pay 50% down, 50% at receipt.
It started to go south immediately after paying the first 50%, when he told me his "partner" requested I send the 2nd 50%, because they had been recently "ripped off". He offered me a refund with a 10% "restocking fee", but I stupidly did not accept that smaller loss and sent the 2nd 50% (fingers crossed). He said he sent the card, but never provided a tracking number, and has since played dumb. It is clear this was all a scam. I've reported him twice to eBay to at least try and get him suspended, but as of today, his account is still active.
Lesson learned for me, and luckily it was for an amount I could just "eat". I'd advise anyone else to steer clear of this a-hole. |
the guy has 6 very bad negative feedbacks no way i am buying anything from this dude , hopefully you did not give a gift payment , reporting to ebay is not going to work especially as you did an off ebay purchase
I know the horse has bolted at this point , but looking at a sellers feedback can give you a better idea of character Negatives are never a good sign
