Ebay seller scam story-Paul Slapnicker Pauld49 BEWARE

[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.

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.

[bass37]

He had to go to extensive measures to contact the seller of the cards. The seller blocked him before the poor guy had a chance to tell him he found those cards. I would blame the seller on this one. He jumped the gun. He has a 100% feedback rating on his Ohio account.

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.

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!

Terrible person. What facebook group was this?

Vintage baseball cards only 1868 - 1979 keep it real!

[bass37]

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.

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]

Geese, you guys are something else. Thats not what I heard at all. I was told he found the cards, but the seller blocked him before he had a chance to correct it. He opened the paypal dispute to flush this immature person out. I guess he did right. Thats what you get when you block someone. Goodnight children.

I suspect you are he,

Stop embarrassing yourself.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before in the ten years I've been on this forum . . . a thread where the OP is calling out a scammer, and the scammer then responds by pretending to be a neutral party to it all, but is really the scammer himself and seems to be oblivious to the fact that all of us know this! We didn't even have this kind of merry-go-round with Battlefield Vintage. It's kind of epic, really.

[martyp]

I did a search for pauld49 and received "the seller User IDs you entered was not found"

Yes ironically a day or two after this thread was bumped the "innocent guy" removed all of his cards for sale and a few days later deleted his account or changed his ebay username.

[bass37]

He couldn't take all the false harassment and bullying by the people in here. He went to a much friendlier site. Be careful.

Rob, great summary. Everyone is in on the joke but him!

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?

[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.

[ullmandds]

back to our normal programming...this "joke" is no longer amusing.

How do you know what he did? Are you and he siamese twins, attached at the head?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I just keep thinking Bass37...

3rd Bass?

Except he's not actually dumb.

[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.
You been scamming for way to damn long!

That's what I'm thinking. Although there's kind of a spooky, halloweenish flavor to this one, as one Paul seems to be able to channel the other Paul.

Yup those are all the ones I sent him for free for his Grandson….

What a lowlife punk he is.

[bass37]

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.

Why did "he" post them for sale when they were for his grandson? Seems a little mean to me.

[Yoda]

Paul, I hate to say it but you are acting a tad schizoid.

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

You know what would be a lot of fun? If we referred to other people in this thread as "I".

What's fishy are the posts by a bass (37).

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

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.

[Rhotchkiss]

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.

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.

[Eric72]

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?!?!?

[bass37]

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,

[bass37]

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.

[scooter729]

I've got nothing of value to add here, but feel I need to get in on this fantastic thread - so I guess I'm just here to pad my post count.....
