Ebay Fraud Story

I wish I could relate the name Bob called me via email but I don't think that language is allowed on this forum. However, it was not unexpected.
He must be watching the Sopranos.

Again, there was NO MENTION of damage to the cards in his description or in his response above. That fact is it is never addressed. If the damage to the cards were declared there would have been no bid on my part.

It is an absolute absurdity that anyone could add discretionary penalty charges such as the
restocking fee and rest on a return of any items, even worse on items that were so grossly
misrepresented. What mentality does it take to appoint oneself as judge then to perpetrate this rip-off? With this obvious fraud how could any intelligent person expect that there would be no repercussions?

The returned 'junk cards' were packaged and sent in a USPO Priority Box and insured. The alleged damage would be a claim against the United States Post Office. What have I got to do with the Post Office delivery service? He stated - it was the box that was damaged. Then what is the relevance? Where's disrespect? His irrational arguments continue and are dismissed.

Again he states the naive "BUYER'S REMORSE". To use that simple cliche must be very satisfying to someone with such a lack of imagination and to find some justification for his dishonesty.
Hey, I'll use that - that'll fit - sounds right on - everybody else uses it - that clever phrase
will certainly satisfy anyone has any doubts about the matter - good thinking - not very original but that's the best I can do - that phrase will explain everything - I'm justified - simple - perfect - am I clever or what - that is the answer - Yes!

It’s possible that his judgement may be altered if he knew the number of these cards I have purchased from honest people over the years. Most likely I own more of these cards than any one else.

This seller must be buried in these cards due to his own inabilities and looking for a sucker to help him out. Any takers? Here is your chance. He would love it - he can't lose! He will just take his profit when you return the junk cards he sent.

In the pre-National days I rented dealer tables at the Willow Grove, PA. Card Shows and the White Plains, NY Card Shows. The dealers from those days that are still around today were smart enough to maintain a good reputation.

A hard copy (has a long shelf-life) of this Ebay transaction was due in June but it's going to be a little late.

Isn't this embarrassing? Greed - what a shame!

Thanks for the credit card advice from JC, Dan and Jon.
