I have an idea that may help...............................what about if you
see this 1**a has bid on something, use the function to ask the seller a
question that get's added to the description of the ad warning them of this
guy? There ia a way that it will show up in the description and maybe the
seller can end the auction early.

Thanks to the List...I've just blocked this a-hole (thanks Don M for the
link) ...also went and looked at Lucyfi's Seymchan thin-slice (awesome, I
might add) and sure enough 1***a won it. I tried writing her through
MyEbay-ask-seller link to give her a heads-up, but couldn't.
Isn't this a crime? Or are all the warnings posted to bidders re: "you are
entering into a binding contract" just a bunch of hooooey? One would think
eBay's downside about fraud-buyers would have some sort of legal team to
support their very existence.

Aloha,
Buyers need to beware of tri-ball34 too, as he is continuing to bid up
items on ebay even as i write this. He has won 2 more items and his
carnage amounts to 180 items won in the last 30 days.
You can identify this person as a bidder on an item by clicking on the Bid
History link on a listing, which will bring up a list of bids, with the
bidder ID scrambled with asterisks. Don Skidmore informs me that
tri-ball34 is member ID l***a
Buyers, if you see l***a in the bid history of an item, you'd be advised
not to bid on the item lest you get into a bid war with him that you
probably will not win. And even if you do, it would be so highly inflated
as to be ridiculously expensive. Caveat emptor.

Hello all,
The Sellers of the items will be able to report him through the

will revoke his account once the proper channels are followed.
It is sad. To me, it would seem this is someone with a desire to attack
only IMCA members. Does anyone know if a non-member has had this issue?

To see the kind of damage this guy
has done, follow this link to see all of the
auctions
tri-ball34 has won over the past 30 days:
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=tri-ball34&completed=1&all=1&rows=50&sort=1&_rdc=1
Those sellers on the list have to report him to
ebay,
and
together we may get his account revoked and your
listing
fees refunded.

But the shipping from Germany to the United

And so do some of the buyers a few days to

That is absolutely ok.
Fortunately, I've blocked him early.
My auctions end almost every day.
One would not imagine that this person wins

Besides blocking this clown, one can
protect Buy It Now listings by
requiring immediate payment. At least
this
way,
someone can't "win"
the item, end the listing, and then not
pay.
With an
auction though,
the only recourse is to block the
bidder.
I had a few problems with bidders like
that
when I
was
still selling
on eBay. It's especially frustrating
because
you end
up being charged
for the listing fee and the final value
fee,
but
no
payment. You
can't get the fees back until you invest
more
time
(i.e.
money) to
file reports and complaints. It's a
major
PITA and
part of the reason
I quit selling there.
But I must say, the problems I had were
relatively
minor
and few
compared to this "tri-ball" clown.
I'm
glad
he never
hit me like
that. In most cases, I'd finally get
paid,
after
weeks of emails and
finally filing a complaint. Once the
unpaid
item case
is filed, most
AWOL buyers who still care about their
eBay
accounts will
usually pay.
If you still don't hear from them after
filing
the
complaint, then
block them with prejudice.
Another thing that is good is posting
the
offender's eBay
handle here
so the other eBay sellers can be
forewarned.
It is
obvious that this
person is a chronic offender who is not
going
to
stop their
behavior.

MikeG

Yes, This guy (
tri-ball34
)
"won" quantity 23 items
from
me
valued
into the
thousands and will not
pay
for
them.
This is one
of the
reasons eBay can be so
frustrating and I am
trying
to
ween
myself off of
it. This
kind of person not
only hurts sellers, he
hurts
the
buyers
by
bidding up items
he has no intention
of paying for. He bid
up
so
many
of my
items that I
thought the meteorite
market was recovering
nicely.
Now,
that
I have
spent many
hours opening 23
separate cases against
him
and
undoing
the
damage, I see
that the market is
about the same. It is
amazing what
kind of
chaos a
single bidder can
cause.
Best Regards,
Adam
