I'm sure there has been a witch hunt on the boards somewhere along the line over the years with a blameless victim, but man I've never seen a company that's doing things right have SO many questions to answer. The volume alone of different issues raised has to make one worry.

What we're seeing here is what happens when someone not used to being open and honest tries to fake it.

The advantages of telling the truth.
1. Everybody gets the same answer. 2. You do not need to remember which lie you told to which person. 3. Making all your stories consistent with each other can be a formidable challenge, because people talk even on a respected Internet forum. 4. Getting caught in a mis-statement and trying to cover up for it can get awfully messy. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

All I know is that if it ever hits the fan for me, I want Peter as my defense lawyer. He would be all over discovery. No stone would be unturned. If the law thing doesn't work out, he could have a job as an investigative reporter or a detective. I mean this in the most respectfull of ways possible and tip my hat to the ability to find everything. When they came on the board originally, I thought, "They seem like nice guys, I hope that it all works out ok. I wonder why people are being so hard on them" and then, bam, all of the evidence uncovered in real time.

There is one thing I can't get out of my head concerning the PSA Authentic Aaron. The Candiman auction ended March 11th. Assuming 2 days to send out invoices, the invoice would go out March 13th. The auction rules says payments are due no later than 2 weeks from the invoice days. So the buyer would have until March 27th to make payment. The eBay auction for the Aaron ended March 26th at 1 am. It looks like most of the current listings are 5 day auctions so lets assume that the Aaron was. The Aaron would have been listed the night/early morning of March 21/22. That is several days before the deadline to make payment. I didn't check to see which cards had bids in the main auction but several other cards ended within a day or 2 of the Aaron. Did all of the non paying bidders email or contact Candiman and tell them that they would not be sending payment before the payment deadline? Non payers typically don't tell you that they won't be sending payment, they just don't send it. So, what happened with the 2 weeks to send payment? This is another thing that can be added to the list of issues with Candiman.
James Edit to add: I forgot to add a day or two for the cards to be shipped to Arkansas. AUCTION RULES: 8. Payment: Invoices will be sent to all winning bidders within 3 business days after the auction by e-mail. Hard copy invoices will only be sent to those customers who request them and will contain all of your auction totals, including the items you won, shipping and insurance costs and tax if applicable. A copy of the payment instructions will also be enclosed with your invoice. Any bidder who has not paid in full without having made prior arrangements for late payment will have future bidding privileges revoked. Invoices are payable upon receipt with payment due no later than two weeks from date of invoice. Last edited by jfkheat; 04-02-2018 at 04:43 PM. |

Unless, of course, and probably, everything done from one location, including shill bidding. I wonder if we could contact simple site and ask for IP addresses of bids. I would think that if proved that could lead to criminal fraud like in the Mastro Case.

Perhaps, Scott can confirm; but this was my interpretation, with regards to shill bidding. [I] In most states, the seller or their agent (which can certainly include the auctioneer) may be allowed to bid on behalf of any minimum reserve prices set by the seller, as long as “SUCH BIDDING IS DISCLOSED” to the bidders. This is also the primary difference between “shilling” and “protecting the reserve”. There are basically two ways to “protect the reserve”. One method method is to “Pass” the item, if it does not meet the reserve. The other is “bidding on behalf of the reserve” and may only be done if DISCLOSED to the bidders (note the emphasis). Some auctioneers may also use a consignor bidder number or “house number”, in such cases that the reserve is not met, to keep things flowing smoother and allows for tracking during settlement of the auction. The key point is “DISCLOSURE”. If the auctioneer has not disclosed that such bidding may be allowed, then it would be considered “shilling” and would be considered fraudulent bidding. With regards to ebay; this is there take Shill bidding can happen regardless of whether the bidder knows the seller. However, when someone bidding on an item knows the seller, they might have information about the seller's item that other shoppers aren't aware of. This could create an unfair advantage, or cause another bidder to pay more than they should. We want to maintain a fair marketplace for all our users, and as such, shill bidding is prohibited on eBay.

“Candiman Auction” cards that were won, yet posted just a day or two later on eBay?
There have been a couple of threads about “Candiman Auctions” that I have followed. Didn’t I see a post from Leon, where Leon said a Net54 member contacted Leon after bidding on the auction (for some reason I think the amount bid was $3,000 but I could be wrong). The bidder wanted information about Candiman Auctions, and Leon pointed this person to one of the Candiman threads. Today, Daniel said “we had a handful of bidders who won items contact us informing us that they would not be paying because they didn't read this forum prior to bidding in our auction.” Maybe this would explain why some cards went up on eBay so quick? The winners said they were not going to pay?

So a friend of mine in out West bought and paid for a lot in Candiman's ebay auction that ended last night. You know, the auctions where the cards are with Daniel's friend in Little Rock, Arkansas who is helping him out. Or so Daniel said in response to my question about why ebay shows the cards there. But the funniest thing is the tracking.
April 2, 2018, 8:59 pm Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility MONTGOMERY AL DISTRIBUTION CENTER Your item arrived at our MONTGOMERY AL DISTRIBUTION CENTER origin facility on April 2, 2018 at 8:59 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination. April 2, 2018, 7:59 pm Accepted at USPS Regional Facility MONTGOMERY AL DISTRIBUTION CENTER For context, Daniel's post from earlier in the thread. "The location is Little Rock, AR because we have a friend that lives there that is selling our unsold/unpaid lots and excess inventory or lower grade inventory that's not high quality enough to put on the website. We don't have time to sell on eBay and run an Auction House at the same time. He's getting 10% of the sales price of every item that sells. It's a win for both of us. Is there a problem with us doing that too?"

Oh I don't know Bob, maybe he mistakenly did not include some lots in the box he sent to Arkansas, and this just happens to be one of them. Anything is possible.

Notice how many of the lies he followed up with a question? That's common among someone who is lying since the person lying is trying to get you to focus on the question they're asking rather than the BS in their answer. The funny thing is, it's not as effective in print since everyone has time to evaluate the response and sift through the BS. It's interesting because this leads me to believe he is very used to lying in person as well.
Some examples... "There are MANY eBay sellers who don't accept PayPal. If you have your own internet merchant account you don't have to accept PayPal on eBay. Getting your own merchant account is a long process which is why most people just give in and accept PayPal. We already have a merchant account for Candiman Auctions so why pay PayPal a higher fee? Isn't it smart business to save as much on expenses as possible when running a business?" "I know you are dying to know what happened with the famous e-check so here's what actually happened. The e-check didn't bounce. We placed a stop payment on it with our bank when we found out that the owners of that company are apparently sharing our personal information without our permission. We won't do business with a company that is willing to hand out their customers personal information like that without their permission. Would you?" "the location is little rock, ar because we have a friend that lives there that is selling our unsold/unpaid lots and excess inventory or lower grade inventory that's not high quality enough to put on the website. We don't have time to sell on ebay and run an auction house at the same time. He's getting 10% of the sales price of every item that sells. It's a win for both of us.

Interestingly, the shipping label shows as being created in Houston, TX which means if I understand how the USPS software works that he must have a USPS account showing that as his return address.

Would it show like that if you simply changed the ship from zip code? I know you're able to do that when shipping - I do it frequently shipping from a different zip than where I live, but I often forget to switch it back and forth. The USPS apparently doesn't care that much according to my local P.O. What I'm wondering is if he's using that to his advantage by changing his ship from address to a different zone to save a bit of money on shipping.

I agree. I bet that's what he's doing though. On Ebay, there's the address for the shipper, but there's a separate "ship from" zip code if you're shipping from a zip that's different than your shipping address. I doubt the USPS polices this much. Not that this is a huge issue, but it's pretty funny that a guy in Alabama has his friend in Arkansas shipping stuff from Texas for him.

I've had returns like this before. The seller changes the address before a return is requested so the eBay generated label will show the new address. Then it is changed back and the card is delivered to the "wrong address". Since it was eBay generated, their buyer protection will pay so the seller has the card, the money and free to scam again....this is also working with all counterfeits on eBay.

I had thought that the items being sold don't have to be shipped to the seller. Most of us wouldn't since not having the item in hand while selling isn't a good practice. But if you trust someone to ship when they need to, it's doable. Like if I listed something for a family member in another state but they kept it and shipped when it sold. Not that that's what's going on here. |
