Oh My F**king God's!
Found this link on one of the other threads:

Some of this is quite funny actually ...

Now, I would love to see the face of the customs agent who would inspect a package like THAT... :-?

What to do with in case package cannot be delivered:
Well... honestly, I don't know for sure but most importantly DON'T return to sender... :lol:

Firstly, I wouldn't do business with anyone who uses grammar like his.  Secondly, I also avoid buying from sellers who insist on more than 30 days to receive item -- eBay and PayPal both only provide coverage for problems within 30 days.  I have done enough shipping via eBay over the years to know that I can get items from just about anywhere in the world in about  seven to 14 days.  Eight weeks delivery is plain treachery.

All this aside, it really seems like he should quit selling on eBay considering the number of frauds with which he has to deal.  I would have quit a long time ago if I have the ratio of frauds to good buyers he has.

I agree with everything you say except one thing... when I ship things to european customers, they always insist on the cheapest service... Canada post claims it can take up to 8 weeks for the items to reach their destination using the surface (boat) shipping.

I don't think he means 8 week for delivery, but 8 week for getting his lazy ass up to post office and ship it.

eslapion, I think you've been scammed because he thought the closing price is low. He probably thought it's not worth the trouble shipping them.

Also you shouldn't have bought from a seller who has a shady background and refuse to accept paypal. If you paid with paypal, you had evidence that you actualy sent the payment. Now I'm not sure what will happen. If you don't act quick, you'll lose your right to leave feedback on him. He'll still have the right of leaving feedback to you, and he WILL leave a neg for you. Be careful.

Hehe, I just love this response by Doomy:

"Reply by retrogeek001: I never received any emails. You could have called me or mailed me a letter."

MAIL him a letter? My god, this guy sells on Ebay, has his own website and forum and can't even be bothered to put up a correct E-mail address?

My guess here is he just couldn't be bothered to sell this item for the winning bid. People like this should be banned from teh web.

I have a tracking on the envelope for the money order. If he asn't removed his complaint when the Xpresspost envelope reaches him then he will get a nice red dot and probably a lot more from me.

I know I shouldn't have bought from him but he's the only one I could find selling Amiga 3000 casing parts.

Nothing you can do about that, then, unless you specifically state that you won't ship cheap.  I know I got your stuff within a couple of weeks (thanks, btw,) but to be fair we are in the same continent.

I don't ship overseas with anything less than priority, which is a week at most, iirc.

Now now... look at the nice message I got from our gentleman concerning the NPB he opened on me:

"Now, just calm down.  This is just a formality.  I will close this dispute just as soon as I receive
your payment.  Then I will ship out your package and we can give each other a positive feedback.  BTW
, I read your post about me on Amiga Org.  That was not very nice.  I visit Amiga Org every day."

A formality... yeah right. Anyone else here opens NPB claims as formality?

Formality my hairy buttocks.  If opening a NPB is what he considers a formality, perhaps he should put in his auctions that he will do so in order to avoid confusion -- or buyers.  What a schmuck.  Since he reads AO every day, maybe this will seem like a good  idea to him and he can start soon.

I guess then it would be a formality for people waiting for his eight week delivery to file a complaint for not receiving the item.

Hey Doomy, since you're reading, why not start treating people with respect instead of trying to screw people over all the time?

I've seen some of his auctions and he has had stuff I would like to bid on but with his Amiga Community reputation and his Ebay reputation, I just could not in good faith buy anything from him.

Seconded.  Doomy/George is the last thing people trying to get Amiga gear need.

He's posted a response to your AOrg criticism on the RetroGeek Forum. Why not put your points to him directly?
