Because so many of you like to block people on ebay, and you like a juicy story....
I bought an item on Facebook from ebay seller Guy_6629, or PJ Geyman when buying from him on Facebook. I got a partial reference from Bumpus Jones who hadn't bought or sold from him but heard he was okay to deal with. He has a lot of memorabilia on ebay. Item was a supposed GU Barry Larkin bat. Mistake 1) I didn't do due diligence and ask to read the MEARS report. Mistake 2) I paid $700 PPFF + trade (2001 Grif Auto Relic... supposed $200 trade value).... BTW, we don't need to explain how stupid it is to pay PPFF, I already know... Item arrived, I read the report, and it clearly says the item is not GU. It is graded A5. I went to their website and it fully explains A5 is not GU. I sat on the item for 7 days considering what I wanted to do. I contact BNorth and Perezfan and Bumpus Jones asking for their opinions. They all said return the item; value is about $250 - $500. I brought this up to the seller and brought up a refund. He was not happy and told me that I should just resell it. I forced a refund on him by sending it back; he told me that he would turn around and ship the item straight back to me. By contacting the Facebook admins, they helped convince him that he needed to make a refund. He tells me he already flipped the card for $150, so he's only going to refund me $850. He refunded me today, but instead of refunding me PPFF, like I paid, he sends the money PPG&S, so it now looks like I made a sale. He spent $880 to send me $850. Now I'm going to also get taxed next year on a refund. But now I'm worried he will initiate a refund and get the money back along with the item. Anyway, item is back up on ebay today, and on Facebook, and the MEARS report page stating the item is not GU is not pictured, so he's using deception to sell his items. It's not worth your time and effort to deal with him. Here's a link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/35461765593...mis&media=COPY Sent from my SM-G9900 using Tapatalk
