I dealt with boogiegail too. I purchased a 4000 about a year and half ago. I payed instantly and about two weeks later she wrote and said the 4000 got dropped and damaged. She provided me with a refund. I think maybe she got someone to pay more and did not want to go through with the deal.

I think she took a short term 0% interest loan at your expense. I took a good look at her feedback. She sold a lot of things that never got delivered. The money was always refunded in 2 weeks to a month. She was also an extremely agressive buyer on Ebay. She was a real good sniper and never bid before the last 30 seconds of an auction. I was outbid by her on several auctions. She was doing this agressive buying with other peoples money a lot of the time and Ebay finally caught on--there was a ton of negative feedback in the last month of her Ebay carreer and some serious disputes. She sold an A4000, a PPC and Picasso IV card among other things that never got delivered. She alway had some excuse like it malfunctioned, or was lost in shipping but she was engaging in some serious financial shenagins and what she did to you and others could be considered a form of fraud. You were definitely not an isolated example.

Let me make this clearer...  if someone doesnt complete a deal, dont post it.  You have your stuff that they didnt buy, you're not out anything, on top of that YOU are the SELLER and HE is the BUYER.    This thread is for BAD SELLERS not BAD BUYERS.

In this case the buyer is also a seller--and a well known and notorious one at that--and I think it's valid to point out recurring pattern of conduct from one individual. Most Ebay sellers are buyers as well. The bad attitude and profanity is well represented in Doomy's feedback. The Ebay feedback system does work--not perfectly by any means--but it does work. Because I took the trouble to read the feedback of problematic sellers like Retrogeek and Boogiegail, I never dealt with them and so never had any problems with them or risked screwing up my own feedback with retalitory feedback from an anti social nut like Doommaster. I have also gotten good deals by checking out the feedback of someone with less than perfect feedback and seeing that they just had just one bad deal with someone and otherwise they are okay--if you're a relative newbie to Ebay and your feedback is say 10-30, all it takes is one bad deal from a bad seller to put your feedback in the low 90s. If there is a recurring complaint in the negative feedback--like profanity in Doomy's case--there is indeed a problem and this is a seller to be avoided.
