Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS

[Ambrola]

It's not only car parts that will get you burned on fleabay. I am an avid guitar collector and have been playing since I was 10 years old. I sold a Gibson Les Paul on there for 2k and the buyer said it wasn't in mint condition and filed a claim on me. He then provided a return UPS number and they instantly took the money out of my account. When the guitar arrived, it wasn't the 2k LP I sold him but a 100.00 piece of crap. Thank God it wasn't one of my rare guitars. After days of phone calls and all that, I finally just gave up. I will never, and haven't sold anything on there since. There are many of these people on there, they should be put in jail.

My God! How do people like this fall asleep at night. Making a living out of screwing other people routinely is just incomprehensible to me. His day will come. Just don't understand how they can put on a smile every day.

He has 100% positive feedback, go figure. Ebay just wants their money, they even threatened to shut down my account for giving my contact info to someone, and this guy is still selling? Give me an f%*$ing break!

I've sold vintage model car kits on eBay and run into a-holes who take parts and claim the kits are incomplete. Even model car buyers can be s h i t t y.

I don't have anything much to add, other than I have been scratching my head for a few days ever since the picture was posted. I was certain I had seen those three faces, but I couldn't remember where. I still may be wrong, but it dawned on me today that it was at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run in TN last spring. One of the jokers that offered to buy my car if I was ever willing to sell it, and he handed me a business card. I threw it away, but I do remember it was some sort of real estate investment company. My memory isn't so good, we were deep into my homebrew by then.

Ebay has zero concern for sellers. My most recent burn was an electrical part I sent to a buyer in California. My part was described as nearly new, plugged in once but found it was wrong for the application(parts department had ordered it for the wrong car); the buyer requested a refund because he said the part was not new, even though my description clearly stated that the package was opened & the part had been plugged in (btw, it was in perfect condition & functioned perfectly). I agreed to refund, which they issued to him immediately. I stopped the mal carrier when I got my package back from the buyer, because the box weighed nothing & felt empty, even though it was carefully sealed. The USPS mail carrier watched as I opened the box in front of him, it was empty. He signed a written statement to the effect that the packaging was undamaged, it did not leave his sight after handing it to me, and was indeed just an empty box. After sending Ebay documentation, photos & the signed statement from mail carrier, & over 3 hours on the phone, the manager at Ebay told me "tough luck" and that he didn't really care, the buyer would get to keep his full refund & my part.

Apparently this Buddy Hill has been doing this for a LONG time.....the thread below is from January of 2009.

A member here sent Albert Hill this thread. I received these 2 messages from him today, a year later since this has happened.

What a sad POS. Anyone who needs that many ebay aliases is probably more than a little worried about his reputation spreading.

Hipocratic? isn't that an oath a doctor would take?
