Re: [meteorite-list] EBAY SCAM ALERT - balogne_t - Attn: DEALERSBLOCK HIM NOW
Hi List, I am currently awaiting response for receipt of a sale from the recipient in the Russian Federation for a small but nice Sikhote Alin batch they purchased (hey! a reverse fall!)...and based upon their ebay feedback numbers being very small, they asked for a tracking number. Of course, as is being discussed here, international delivery confirmations rest solely upon the recipient's word. Our local US Postal rep (whom I respect), upon being asked "Since Delivery Confirmation isn't available for international deliveries, how can I be sure if and when it arrives?" the response was: "When they tell you it did." At which point I promptly took a picture of the package and receipt-generated, containing the US Customs "number".(I have no idea how worthy this will be in an ebay court-of-appeals), and sent the pictures back to the buyer who seemed pleased, leaving it in the (currently) hands of the US Customs officebut that also potentially opens up a new can of worms. Needless to say, international sharing of our precious space material has been working for decades. I'm hoping to hear from some of you with years of experiences... -Richard Montgomery - Original Message - From: "Don Merchant" To: ; Cc: "Don Merchant" Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] EBAY SCAM ALERT - balogne_t - Attn: DEALERSBLOCK HIM NOW Great info Chris. As you stated tracking ends when it reaches Customs. My question to all this is, at which point does the Seller not become responsible any more. Since it can be proved that tracking made it to at least Customs, then this means the package was at one point officially in the the hands of say USPS, FedEx, UPS, ect. which are businesses who get paid by us, for a service they offer, and that service is delivery. That responsibility should become the Delivery Service Provider once money is exchanged between parties. ALWAYS send delivery confirmation here in the U.S. It's cheap to send with delivery confirmation and now you have proof it was delivered! Even if the Provider delivered the "meteorite" to the wrong address, is that not the fault of the Provider!? Is it fair that a Seller be responsible at that point? Now if sending from U.S. to Internationalyou ALWAYS have to fill out a Customs Declaration. You hold onto the part that the Provider stamps and gives back to you. That is proof you paid a Provider for a service they offer, and the package is now in their hands. So at that point the issue of lost, stolen, or never delivered, can be proven by either Delivery confirmation and or via the Customs Declaration Label. You would think eBay would have this figured out and would just tell the Buyer to wait another 7 days before acting and returning money to the Buyer. * Now that we know the Provider is responsible, What are the obligations of a Seller to a Buyer, when clearly the proof shows that the Provider was paid, but did not do their job. I have been fortunate to not have an issue with proving that I sent out the package via a Provider and or an eBay Buyer trying to scam me. Can any Sellers ping in on how far to accept responsibilty as a Seller and to what measures you would take to the Buyer.

As someone else mentioned recently in that other fishing thread, NO legit web site, not Paypal, not Ebay, not Amazon, NOBODY, will EVER send you an e-mail with a link that you have to click to enter account information. If you get an e-mail like that, it is a scam one hundred percent of the time. Valid businesses will tell you to go to the site and log on and enter the information. I would also suggest to you and everyone to TURN OFF all html and xml and Active-X and every single other feature in e-mails than plain text and only plain text. There are just too many ways people can get into your system with e-mails that contain html or other components, even if you do not click on the items. Anything more than plain ASCII text in e-mails is pointless and dangerous. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Ebay scam emails from my auctions
Hi everyone A warning here, all the bidders on my recent achondrite and CO3.1 seem to be getting fake emails today, telling them that the items are available for a lesser price than the selling price. These emails are not from me, and they don't even pretend to be, but they ask the buyer to send them money. Please be careful about any such emails and scams, use your head, if the emails don't come from the seller, something is not right and alarms should be going off in your head. They have been reported to eBay, but I assume that other people will get the same scam for high $$$ items. Be careful.

Not the same person but it must be a way of scamming people as you said and it's good to put out a notice when it happens with meteorite sales.

Re: [meteorite-list] EBAY SCAM??????
Tom, What happens when a meteorite collector discovers ebay? They go bonkers! I've seen it happen many times. Sometimes they're new to meteorites, in which case they often overpay. If he's new to meteorites, he'll eventually find other venues to acquire meteorites. If they already collect meteorites, and are simply new to ebay, eventually he'll calm down. Probably not a list member, and no harm is done writing to this person and inviting him/her to join the list. I've done so in the past and they're usually grateful to learn the meteorite-list community exists where they can learn more. You might try this.
