Ebay feedback conundrum

Nope. If you look at his bidder list it is for all types of things in all sports. Cards, autographs, memorabilia, etc.

Kruk is one of the biggest shillers on eBay. This is probably just one of his shill accounts. In fact, there was a very detailed, informative thread about it over on CU until the mods took it down because Krook is one of their advertisers.

I thought about it being a shill account, but wouldn't Krukcards have to pay final value fees to ebay? What's the sense of that?

After 600+ transactions cancelled with the same buyer, wouldn't that raise a red flag with ebay and they would do SOMETHING? After all they are losing $$$ in the deal.

I met him years and years ago at tally hall in michigan, cool old store. Kruk was P.O.ed because I just bought the dealers whole 52 high number stash, for 5 bucks each and Kruk was whinning about it. He's a jerk. dave

eBay isn't complaining. Shilling increases the prices and the guy has probably paid eBay tens of thousands in fees. They turn a blind eye to things like this.

You can leave feedback after or before a transaction has been canceled. This is a 100% shill account, no buyer is that loyal to a seller. I would report to ebay, criminal charges can be brought for this type of fraud.

Maybe a flea market dealer buying lots of junk wax.

I went through a Kruk phase before, buying lots of old oddball junk wax 'cause I thought it was kind of neat.

Mistakes were pretty common. Found more then 1 unopened box that was just a bunch of opened packs stuffed into a box. They made good on them, but I found it unusual they lacked much quality control, since it seemed to happen with just about every order I got from them.

I don't think it was devious because it was really cheap stuff, just careless.
