I am running out of Ebay usernames, he blocks each name I use after I "buy" them. If some of you have some spare Ebay usernames that you don't mind using like this ... help me out and BUY, BUY, BUY !!

Looks like he's eliminated the Buy-It-Now option....so the auctions will have to be bid up to levels where others won't bother.

Ok,

So the way to handle this idiot is sign up some new user accounts and spam or buy his garbage but never send the money so he wastes his time. Good plan! I'm in.

Dave,

Beat him at his own game. Just post your own auctions selling the same article for a penny with a buy it now option. In your sales conditions, inform the buyer that that he is credited for a penny the moment he goes to your site and downloads the Fuse/Relay Chart FOR FREE.



Regards,
JE

There is a fraud website that investigates claims or people doing stuff like this. Anyone else know which site I'm talking about. A bunch of us 928 people filing complaints might have these guys on to him but spam/trolling his ebay is a good line of defense.

Anyone have email from his with valid headers of his IP send them to me in a PM.

How was he able to get rid of DR's feedback? They're all gone. I didn't think you could do that???

Looks like ebay booted Dave Roberts. He is now listed as "Not a registered user". http://cgi2.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-c...k&userid=928gt

Looks like ebay protecting the seller again.... Meaning, they booted Dave and deleted all feedback he left.

Should be a lesson for us all.

Email the bidders, tell them where they can get it for free and have them retract their bid. Can this be done?

What a bunch of ****. Ebay will hand over your personal info to just about anyone. They are inviting scams by protecting the 'rights' of the scammers.

Best way to beat this guys is just post the same thing for 2 cents right after he posts his. I'd even use his pics and steal all his **** and clone it but cheapier.

All eBay cares about is that you follow the rules. A non-paying bidder will be booted off if he continues to offend.

I think you guys are going about it the wrong way. Spamming him or buying without paying brings you down to his level. Do the gentleman thing and file complaints or warn others if you feel you're in charge of saving the world. DR knows I care very dearly about protecting his interests, and I definitely don't think the scam artist should be allowed to continue operating like this....but I'm concerned about the standards of our community, and hate seeing it turn into a gang

Tarek,

I respectfully disagree, that is the tooth fairly pipe dream hoping ebay authorities help out. Ebay already deleted the feedback and plenty of people have filed compliants against this person.

Its getting to the point of fighting fire with fire and bring on the cyber lynch mob. This guy don't play by the rules and you can't stop a person like that unless you get creative and have a few friends.
