>Hi all,
>
>I must tell you all to beware - the WORST EBAYER I've encountered in
>over 15 years of selling.
>
>His name and address is
>
>Sam Tougant
>3075 Robson Drive
>Coquitlam BC  V3E 2S6
>Canada
>
>His eBay name is  balogne_t   and his paypal name is  Pietro Ferraro
>(how this name doesn't match his address I don't know - but he says he
>shares the account with 4 others...hum)
>
>Here's what he does, it's is simple and as far as I'm concerned is
>helped by eBay's loose rules.  He'll win a specimen (in my case
>multiple specimens) on eBay - pays and then waits. Within a week or so
>he'll claim he never received anything, start making claims of fraud,
>and eventually have the funds refunded.
>
>If that's not bad enough he'll then give negative feedback!
>
>The reason I know he's lying is this:
>
>Once someone claims they need a refund from me (and the item didn't
>arrive) I immediately block them from bidding again and refund them.
>So, when this jerk made the first claim I  blocked him and refunded
>him. Unfortunately, he'd already - in a week or so time won more
>items. However, he became very upset asking why I would dare block
>him. Of course, he claims nothing I sent him ever arrived - all 5
>specimens sent at different times.   SURE!
>
>Now I ask,  If I he really believed I was a fraud and not mailing his
>specimens why would he be upset I blocked him?
>
>BLOCK HIM NOW OR LEARN THE TOUGH LESSON
>
>Anne Black or Maria Haas - If this jerk is a member of the IMCA let me
>know what you'll do.
