I have been very tempted to record the moment in which they ask me for money, and then upload it to some public place and to send the material to some of my friends working in local tv networks, to explose them, but i guess if i do that, i will be in some kind of black list and i can forget about receiving Amiga stuff in the future... :roflmao:


Maybe get your TV friends to do an expose type news report like how they do in the USA where TV stations use hidden cameras and whatnot to record bad people and then they show it on the news for all to see.

Wow, glad Ideal never bought anything from me!  After some holiday sales of some music equipment, I quit selling/using EBay earlier this year.  I had too many users asking if I'd be willing to break my bass into two boxes so I could ship to Pago Pago.

Red is an excellent seller and will be missed!  Never ever had a problem and the shipping was always super quick.

Funny, Ideal seems to have disappeared...

I've bought a few things from Jim, and I've know him to be nothing more then a gentleman, a scholar and a perfect business person.

Even when I was shipping some stuff to him, mind you we had a massive ice storm the spun the midwest into chaos for, where i couldn't ship his stuff on time. Had he been the thief that some people are saying that he was, he would have been more then happy to try unscrupulous things.

Buttholes my butt!

What you do is you print those labels at home. That tracking indicates nothing other than you having booked a tracking number at home, that says nothing about whether it has actually been delivered any place by you.

I bought a daughterboard from you, redrumscammer, that I never received.
Unfortunately for me I waited too long to file a claim.

You provided a tracking number just like this. One of these "has notified us to expect" and all that crap.
Yet the tracking NEVER changed. NEver updated.

Plain and simple YOU DID NOT DELIVER IT TO THE SHIPPER, YOU JUST PRINTED THE LABEL, AND THEN DID NOTHING. I assume you kept the parcel for yourself.

I did leave negative feedback for you, you dirty scammer, to which you responded by again quoting this "dead end" tracking number.

So just to recap:
USPS LETS YOU BOOK LABELS AT HOME
TRACKING IS NOT UPDATED UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY SHIP THE PARCEL
REDRUMLOA WAS NOT FORTHCOMING WITH ANY HELP
I CAN ONLY ASSUME HE NEVER SHIPPED ANYTHING.

If any international is a butthole, then surely it is REDRUMLOA, reputed scammer and ripoff artist.


You are one to talk. When will you pay me back the 1000NOK you stole off me on the pretense that you were selling me a pc cabinet.

Its a weird world.  I think someone needs to re-look at life. I watched a kid nearly die in a crash a few days ago, spine, legs, blood....tears fear and screaming. All for a sake of getting home 5 mins earlier. I stayed and held the hand of the lad until the ambulance came. I forget to look at my computer that night....didn't seem important anymore.

The reality is...@Red, it doesn't matter, you win some you loose some, ces't la vie @Ideal, you got to have a little more of a reality check, you can't go around smashing windows and not expect to get hurt. If you don't get the goods, make it as neural and put it down to experience and pay for the insurance next time.

The likelyhood is its got lifted at the airport, as does loads of others every day. Airports don't give a f*ck  either. Nor does anyone else. and really in the end. Nor do we. Maybe thats the real problem.

Red,
  I admit I haven't read all three pages of this thread... But I know what you mean, I am getting them too. It seems that the Italian Post Office is the worst offender.
I have a question though - IF the tracking # does go far enough to say the package was accepted by your local Post Office - who is responsible? Us, or the USPS/ foreign Post Office.
I really hate to kill off the foreign buyers right now with the U.S. Dollar so weak - but we are damned either way we turn.

You have no place to call Red a scammer. just because one transaction doesn't work does not mean you have to go and slander this guy. I have heard nothing but good things about Red so you and red should work it out your issues rather than you Ideal go whining like a little kid who hurt himself.

I have dealt with Red for a couple of years, and know other people in the trade who know him. He is as honest and fair as anyone will come across.
We will suffer greatly from his leaving this field. I don't think the average Amiga user realizes this yet.

I remember having bought a box of networkcards from Red, a pretty big box, that got shipped by boat I think in order to reduce shipping costs. It arrived three months later in front of my doorstep, undamaged. To be honest I never worried about it not arriving as I trusted Red completely :)

Not sure what you're refering to, but I have a certified receipt from my bank that I paid Eivind aka Ideal the money.

EDIT: Also want to mention that I've bought stuff a few times from Red, and always gotten excellent service. So it's funny that Ideal has such a adaptive ethics that he will point the finger on Red and forget his own transgressions.

My 2 cents of '€' :
I did many deals with Jim, and I live ... in France.
But I took care to ask him not to send in some holidays periods !
During these periods, customs get mad and open lots of packet without care. And can retain the content if it doesn't complain with the EU "environemental" rules such as RoHs and don't contact the concerned people.
Also during these periods, "post services" are overloaded and use saisonal workers, and packets are shocked, damaged, and sometimes lost or got their "new" references (all packets got new "local" references when they arrive) wrong....
Take care about what you declare on the green sticker too... the highier it's, highier is the risk of problems in the chain ...

A new "wave" is the neighbourg delivering, the packet is delivered at one of your neighbourg because you are not there, without leting you a clue of their passage...
Lets hope that you are not at war with a neighbourg like mine ...

...

Jim, if you have some problems with french guys you can contact me.


Exact CLS2086.

I had worries only with sellers EBAY of products coming from ASIA. French post office does not issue correctly letters and package, it is regrettable. Impossible to trust in them. Even for letters and package to be delivered against a signature.
Pitiful.

I've noticed a lot of Hong Kong bulk ebay sellers won't ship to Italy and Spain and some france, obviously non EU compliant electronics are binned. (Then put into landfill). Logic.

Sending a packet to my town (at 2km from Paris) to some family's friends in Ameno (80 km of Turin - North of Italy)... 14 days !
Just think that it took me 12h to drive to them...
In "Eco" sending mode, a packet took between 14 and 27 days to arrive to the "customs"... after that I all about luck...

Why so much seller refuse to send to Spain, Italy, France ?
Because so many packet are lost...
Because so many look like counterfeist items and are stopped by the customs without a word, and others some are stopped by post's providers for "personnals reasons"...
Because some doesn't comply RoHs and other Euro or local "laws" (NF/TüV/....)
Because the post's guys smashed it during basketball/handball/.... trainings
Because there was a strange moving sound coming from inside and take look and lost it...
And so on ...

I remember also quite well a packet with a Sega Saturn games with nice Irish stamps featuring painted animals. The packet arrived with just 2 stamps (which is impossible due to the weight), a few days after I went to my post office and saw the 6 missing stamps on the wall ... I know it was mine because of the irish post date print on them, and the cut of the round buffer...
