Has this ever happened to you?

[ferro39]

im sure that it happens fairly frequently

as for what you can do? negative feedback and letting ebay know, like you did, are probably your only options. they only pretend to care about things like shill bidding when in reality, it's putting more money in their pockets

Id definitely leave him Negative Feedback, stating what was done!

If you have proof from eBay that he was taking offers AFTER you had paid, you could file with the FBI Internet Division for Fraud.

Just a thought.

I was trolled last week by someone asking about a pair of Kobe gamers I have that we're checked out by Dan Ceniceros. The person told me that Dan "works in self interest so I don't respect him as an authenticator. I've seen him wrong on some major Kobe things". The person the. Asked me to get a letter from Dan even though he "doesn't respect him". I asked if he would purchase them if I got the letter and he said no haha. Just figured out it was mmonte4 that trolled me.

He's been messaging me calling me a liar and then when I said his "brother" told me it was him that bid he said its "PERFECTLY within my rights to retract my bid". Sure I guess it is.

I don't know if they a the same person but I am annoyed that after I paid for an item they would go and do that. And that someone would try and pump the price up.

If I wasn't so lazy and if it was worth it i would do that for sure. It's funny cause I don't think the ebay person was supposed to tell me. She was like "ill check his messages. Oh yea he is selling them for..." Haha.

How would you reply to this?
Sounds a bit threatening to me

What a D-bag...Thanks for letting us know about this guy. Too bad.

As for your reply? Just don't...He's obviously a pathetic, sad man.

Luckily that has not happened to me (hopefully wont). I guess it's just a classic case of a keyboard warrior trying to intimidate over the Internet.

Doesn't sound like a threat at all, but, more of a, "Hey...Be nice to me so I can keep jerking you around with the shoes you're never gonna get but rightfully should".

Sorry to hear about this situation. Is this the auction...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-and-200...-/121173230527

If you end up being able to work it out with the seller, I may have interest in buying those shoes from you. Thanks for the heads up about the seller. What a shame.
