Re: [MOPO] the brasilian can still make out like a bandit

[Smith, Grey - 367]

John: I have been having trouble posting to MOPO for the last two days. Scott has helped me with this. Otherwise I would have posted that our new Auction is now online!, but regarding this eBay seller. Heritage has reported him to our eBay rep. This is something we are told they will look into but those wheels, often, do not turn quickly. The rep reports that with our evidence that this should get him suspended. We shall see. I noticed him last week when he put up a "Seven Year Itch" door panel which I sold two sales ago of which, I am only aware of, the one copy out there. I began to look at his other items and saw that many, many of the items were images taken from our site. I have been asked why we did not use watermarks on our images. We used to and I was told a couple of times that they had obscured a corner flaw on a poster so I asked that they not be used over the image. To be able to view the item in detail with our high resolution and enlargeable imaging is the best way for all. I am as concerned about this person as many on this forum and will continue to try and pursue with eBay.

He suggested that MoPo members contact him directly with full details of the suspect auctions.   The best way to get some action here is to get a number of emails from MoPo members directly to one person at eBay.   They should be marked Attn: Torin and sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]   I just had a look at the auction for the Australian Goldfinger 3 sheet and it looks identical to one that was auctioned at Heritage some time ago.   Incidentally I would also be interested to know how the bid history of a private listing was revealed.   Lets hope this helps John   NEW Website: www.moviemem.com   JOHN REID VINTAGE MOVIE MEMORABILIA PO Box 92 Palm Beach Qld 4221 Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 11:51 AM Subject: [MOPO] the brasilian can still make out like a bandit even if ebay bounces the brasilian scammer, and i am sure that he has thought this through. i am sure that he is writing down the identities of all bidders--one by one--who he will surely contact once he is bounced.  he merely will say that he was suspended due to his credit card expiring, so unsuspecting, novice ebayers will end up sending money.  we have all been scammed.....but wasnt it always when we were desperate or excited about a rare find?  wont a few pay him 1,000 for an item that you know to be worth thousands.    MOPOers are a mere grain of sand on ebay's beach.  yes, we warn each other, but our audience is limited.    And think about it.....any of us here, if we wanted to pull a scam, have have become educated in how to do it.  maybe nakita gets MOPO posts............       i just don't understand why he just didnt try to scam with a few mediorce title.  this guy's got balls--------about 40 TOP TOP TOP items catching the eye of nearly all MOPOers.  yikes.     michael      Check out AOL.com today.
