People like this should be banned from E bay.

“Read the fine print carefully. Scumbags.

“That needs to be reported as fraud.”

“looks like the scumbag has done this a few times too - sprinkled in with some good sales.”

“I reported it.”

“Man....that sucks....how would you like to be the winning bidder?”

“You really have to watch for stuff like this...Often the auction is not for the item, but for an "eBook which will tell you how to get the item for free".

I've reported a few of those and Ebay is good about removing those auctions promptly.”

“anyone that buys from someone who has less than 100% is taking a risk 93% and only 42 feedback they're newbies or nuts.”

“I reported it too.”

“I thought eBay had policies regarding charity solicitations.”

“Notice also how any time this guy has a negative feedback he gives very nasty insulting responses.”

“wow that's pretty sleazy...you think that would work for hiking gear too? ;)”

“I contacted the higher bidders as a potential bidder and asked if they read the fine print”

“you got to be kidding me? what kind a #&%!$ is that? I'll report right now. that's bull!!”

“I sent the seller a question :)”

“I wonder if this was Broken Lizard? LOL!”

“did you check his/her negative comments? only 2, but damn the reply...

I wanna hurt someone right now.


WW...good idea.
lol Nigal”

“I asked why he used such fine print...was he trying to hide the fact that this auction wasn't really about selling a notebook...I got a one word reply...

no”

“Let me guess, he's the student who wants you to send him your cash so he can buy this puter...”

“I sent ebay a complaint too.

Jackstraw, you get a reply from the high bidder? hehehe, he hatin' life”

“one of the replies:

"holy mother of god!!!! thanks for telling me, can i retract do you know?”

“lmao @ jack

I her'dat!”

“What a POS.
Yup, I read the negative comments and his response too. I'm not impressed.”

“Thing is for every one like this you find, probably a million or more slip by.”

“Wow...”

“His money is dwindling it was 4 something earlier....now it's back down in the 3s”

“I showed my kids and told them to read EVERYTHING! They couldn't believe that someone would do something like this.

Welcome to life kids!”

“Wow! Good catch! If it looks too good to be true it probably is.

The page is still up.”

“yeah, I saw that.i wonder if they will take it off or not. I mean...its not really fraud if we are too stupid to read right?? Not sure if its an illegal "item" he's selling.

I tell you what. If I would be the idiot bitting on this "computer"...I wouldn't pay a penny. wouldn't give a crap about that negative in my profile then.”

“I sent the seller two questiona, too:

"Where do you get the nerve to anounce that you are not really selling the computer in amall print at the end of the posting?

How do you sleep?"”

“There seem to be a lot of bid retractions on that item...LOL!

“I'm guessing that with all of the "seller changed" reasons that the footnote about it not being an actual computer for sale was added belatedly?”

“It's no longer there! Way to go trail talkers for discovering the fraud item!!”

“Looks like e-bay is following up on this too...

“Oh man, I likes what I'm seeing. I saw the item pulled, most glad that they yanked his whole username too!

But Gem I had the same thought you did. Yuck!”

“i love a good lynch mob ;)”

“man, i hope you guys never gang up on me!

good catch though.”

“I never got a response from Ebay, but that's OK. Glad this is shut down. The fact that ANYONE bid on this is explanation enough for me why people do things like this. The criminal element always finds the weak spots.

Well, one down probably a thousand to go! I feel good about. I guess you just do what you can do when you can do it...”

“I got the same ebay follow up WW got.

“so what'd they try to sell?”

“The guy wasn't trying to sell anything, he was trying to get people to think he was selling a laptop computer, but in reality, in the fine print of the auction, he said he was going to "use the money to buy a computer like this one for a student".”

“the print was tiny and well hidden”

“beautiful.”

“Thanks a ton folks. Now I can't get that new computer for my daughter.

Jerks!”

“missed the ebay post.

Sounds like he was fishing for a sucker, though.”

“He would have caught one, too. People were still bidding on it right up until it was yanked.”

“I bought two laser guns from this company on ebay. paid for in full via paypal.
that was on Oct 24th
got wrong item on Oct 30

after going back and furth with someone they tell me I need to go to this person and that person. I told them I was going to sue them!!

Dear Nora,

I hope you’re having a great day so far. I am contacting you in regards
to the negative feedback that you have left for us on eBay. I sincerely
apologize that you received the incorrect item(s) by accident, however,
I truly believe that, together, we can work something out to improve
your experience with us. Whatever it takes, I will do my very best to
meet your request. I hope that you will be able to find it in your heart
to consider removing the negative feedback left for us as we are more
than willing to do so simultaneously. Also, please keep in mind that we
are accepting any options to allow this to occur.

Please keep in mind that we have just moved and it has been extremely
chaotic for us. I know that it seems to be an excuse, but it is the
truth. Now that we are organized and operating normally, I can assure
you that your experience with us will not be repeated. I hope that you
can just take one minute of your time to kindly email us at:
feedback@gamezfl.com. For your reference, a negative feedback left for
both parties can be removed within seconds. Once again, I am sure we can
agree on something to have this taken care of. I look forward to your
response. Thank you so much for your time.

Michael
