How long after purchase for shipping information...UPDATED WITH BAD SELLER INFO

[i3aker19]

I purchased the hybrid from the same seller. Paid but received a refund without a follow up message to explain. I figured it had just sold before I paid but listing still shows it’s available. Guess I got lucky.

Maybe the 'scam' is to hope some folks pay with F&F via paypal?  I know many of the payments I receive are via F&F, likely because it's the default setting and folks don't remember or know to change it.

 

Also, for those that are waiting on the shipping information from the seller-  sure that absolutely should be provided, but you can also set up free accounts with USPS, UPS, and FedEx and then you can check for any inbound tracking #s to your address.  Then you don't have to rely on/pester the seller, just something to make your life easier...

Further investigating I found this...

 

Picture of M5 head he sent me in GolfWRX DM

 

Picture of M5 head listed on eBay by seller ksouth9 with over 150k eBay transactions.

 

Hmmmm?????

Interesting. I've bought a bunch of clubs from KSouth9 on ebay over the years...

I’m betting he stole the pic from the listing and never actually had the head,  just a big box of air!

How did I KNOW this was going to be the very next post ?

 

Yes, it does appear to be the EXACT same driver head. And yes, it doesn't look good right now.

 

I expect in a few days the truth will become more(?) obvious.

Right lol.  Queue every DND thread ever.

Sucks but it would help if you guys screened your sellers a little better. Low post count, bad pics, problems with basic spelling and grammar. I don't care how good the price on his Scorrty Cameron is, I'm not sending him any money.

kick him off the tour, Doug.

If the seller can't ship the item in a reasonable time but responds to direct message, that would be understandable. Not shipping the item and not responding to any direct messages is a lame excuse. I mean, how hard is it to respond to messages and give tracking information, if available? Obviously the seller had time to take photos, make a post, correspond and provide payment information but is too busy afterwards?

 

Yeah forget that. I literally just dealt with this exact issue and probably the same seller.

 

I already went to Paypal to dispute the transaction but the refund was already provided. Won't give more detail but PM me if you want more details. Might be the same person.

These scammers still run amuck but when I forget to close an old ad and post a new one I get dinged with a point. 

[Whit1969]

Just found out he sold an M5 to another member as well and stopped responding to messages from the other member last Friday and he sent the same exact pics to them that he sent me!!! 

 

WARNING DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MEMBER AS HE HAS SCAMMED SEVERAL MEMBERS IN THE PAST WEEK!!!

K Masotti also ripped people off on a different marketplace where people buy and sell golf stuff.

And don't accidentally post 11 items. Ad gets removed in 7 seconds and you get a warning.

I can neither confirm nor deny this

Unbelievable, does this and still no response!  He linked this to his current BST listing.

 

 

 

[bdawg983]

How do we get this clown banned?

[1mcozik]

Lol. Mention someone else’s name and people automatically assume guilty by association even though there no association, just the guys images were taken from eBay. ?

I added that to his ad so no one else would purchase from him. He's now been banned.

Ive thought about this before and the only thing i can come up with is having the money for a week or 2 before the buyer reports it, if someone is skint and they have 2 weeks to say pay day, they have technically had a "interest free loan" for 2 weeks

 

Its happened to me a couple of times on Ebay and just doesn't make sense and that is the only reason i can think of

Exactly.  It's the internet version of kiting checks.  Except instead of getting prosecuted it just gets you banned from internet forums.

How does one see a user is banned ?

[Jesh]

Huh just now reading through this post I tried to buy the driving iron this person had listed. The PayPal email I sent the money to was apparently his mothers. She emailed me and let me know she would be refunding the payment and I should attempt to make other payment options with him. Smelled fishy so I just took my refund and ran. Glad I didn’t reach out to him again lol

Give him a week then start to worry about it. It's just a hobby on here for most, not a small business. It's nice to be able to ship within a few business days, but they could have higher priorities and haven't got to it yet. I do think if he's on the site he should be at least responding to you though.

yes this is a hobby, but if you cant ship it, or dont have a box, dont list it, very simple. Common courtesy of doing any kind of business whether its a hobby or your business.

Totally relevant question as nothing in their profile shows them as being banned.

This exact thing happened to me with this seller. Contacted me regarding a WTB ad I had posted. Sold me a club, claimed it would ship and never did. I received an email from his mom saying it was her kid using her account for these transactions. I got my money back but was still a headache.
