Mate
by my own experience I am always wary of ANYONE who has not got a proper server
email address not these "Hotmail" & "yahoo" crap they are free and any Tom Dick
and Harry can get them no security at all.
Everyone keep this in mind when dealing on Ebay as it has kept me out of strife
for 7 years take note.
Sorry mate hope it all works out but I am aa bit dubious.

Looks like they may be reading here or watching their feedback, it changed from
(-3) to (private) while I was checking them out.
The 3 negatives were from...
iandunm(772) - item 220218770028 - $725 - Buy It Now - ended 01/04/08
avenger_isd(82) - item 220218915574 - $500 - Buy It Now - ended 31/03/08
archtophilist1(89) - item 220216831617 - $730 - Auction - ended 31/03/08
All items were UCS Millenium Falcons
It's because of incidents like these that the 'paypal only' situation has come
about. Any time spent on the ebay discussion boards gives you an idea about the
common scams happening. It's usually Playstations.
Make sure you have your own copies of any correspondence, once the user is
deregistered, things will disappear off ebay. If they haven't got a contactable
phone number ebay will NARU them.
I don't think I would have bought such a high value set from a low/no feedback
user. They registered after Jan 2007, so paypal would have been compulsory for
them, I noticed in their description they didn't like the paypal fees, who does
?
A similar scam occurred in October 2006, different MISB sets were auctioned over
a week, then a succession of 'Buy It Nows' were run for the same sets over the
following week. I counted about $7000 worth of LEGO sold over a fortnight by
that scammer who had a PO Box in Wollongong. Some experienced ebayers fell for
that scam. That sellers feedback was mainly buying and selling toothbrush heads.
According to whitepages.com.au there are 4 Taylors listed in Port Pirie, not
that that's a guarantee that any of them are playing 'Jazz'.

Don't need to read the boards to see it but I suppose I have been lucky over the
years (Ausieboy (406))

Mate I would just about bet they allready have!!!!

Good answer that is one of my prime rules as well they nust have feedback and
reasonably good.

None of us like them but if you use it you must expect to pay at least you are
reasonably safe.

Good luck finding him I think you will have to write the loss off as a bad call
sorry!!

Well done Pete W you did a good job of investigations we might appoint you our
Ebay investigator as there probably a few cases out there that need help in item
or fund recovery? Perhaps you could be our Ebay Cop and sniff these guys out and
bring them to justice.
Only kidding Pete but it is a problem I have only been had once in 7 years but I
got my own back on him and shut him down. Shame he was in Hong Kong or I would
paid him a visit personally.
Cheers

Did you ask ebay for his info, there is an link you can go to and that will give
address and phone number.
What I did once was ask another lugnet member in Germany to give a seller a call
and ask why my item was not shipped? He called this person 3 times and finally
I got the item.
I have had two other problems on ebay. A long time ago I bought 40 pounds of
Legos. I got the shippment and half was mega blocks. I complained and was sent
some more legos and lots of catalogs and instructions. I complained again and
they said they would send more when they got them. I waited 4 weeks and got
nothing. So I wrote back and told them not to worry about the rest of the
Legos. I had found 5 $100 dollar bills in the pages of the catalogs. The lady
and her husband went wild. "Give me the $500 back, it was not part of the
deal." Lots and lots of emails from these folks. I wrote a one word response,
"No." I figured I ruined their day.
Another time I never received my item and I had been paid by check. I
looked at the back of the check and it was cashed by a BofA employee. This
person had several negative feedbacks for doing the same thing, not sending the
items. So I called B of A's fraud division. They researched it and all of a
sudden I got my item and the rest of the people did too. BofA was very helpful
and told me that they could not give out information, but that this person was
no longer employed by BofA. Never let the bastards win.

Did you really find $500 or you just pulled their chain??
That would have made my day if I had done that (or even thought) that to them in
retaliation.
Good one mate
You are right

No, there was no money - I was yanking their chain and it is always a good idea
to hit them where it hurts the most.
