Spotted on eBay

[Rob153]

Looked at that myself- Replacement Shaft, Pissed Badge... I think a bullet was definitely successfully dodged..... :-)

Did anyone on here buy the Parris ultimate 581 that was up on ebay last night ?

I can't figure if I dodged a bullet, or missed a bargain.

Number 332325749106 but you need to go to advanced and tick the completed items box for it to show ( as it's ended ).

Paypal ALWAYS go with the buyer - apparently the £15k a year I give them counts for nothing.

It's unreal. Even with proof as well they still side with the buyer even when it is an obvious criminal offence, to them it's just a civil dispute and they accept no responsibility for that. Sellers should be given better protection. I have often wondered how much agg' you have had over the years mate, hate to think as it goes.

There's good honest sellers on eBay unfortunately you'll get the crooks in which eBay seem to side with 99.9% of the time.

Hopefully one day sellers will have the same rights as the buyers but can't see it happening TBF.

I hope so mate because the way it stands people can take the p~#$. I agree too mate that there are good honest sellers on ebay. Over the years I found their quality honesty and integrity second to none, still do as well. Snooker culture is an honest culture, right down to admitting a foul that no one else saw and that same honesty can often be seen amongst us all when we buy and sell our cues. Pity though that it seems to have the snakes & vultures out there willing to exploit it.

Well you know his address, get the Police involved as it's fraud?

Apparently he is sending the broken cue to me with a tracking number that doesn't exsist so once it arrives- if it arrives, the offence of fraud will be complete from my understanding of criminal law so I'm going to get in there first with a pre-emptive allegation rather than go getting myself nicked. The photos he sent were of a cue he had previously tried to sell on ebay a long time ago. Broken with a terrible glue job done around the splices. I googled his name and all sorts comes up on him he is at it big time by the look of it. I'll see what the police say anyway.

You right there mate Paypal awarded it in his favour even though we posted them photos etc . Been scammed! I'm gonna end up losing my cool with that w~#k*#

If he's put a claim in it's very difficult for the seller to win tho.
You need to speak in person to someone at ebay and tell them he's sending pics of a different cue

I thik the mRs has done that now hopefully. She might have included the pictures of the different cue with a bit of luck

Where abouts in London is he .

He lives in Ealing- Southall area UB12 AN postcode

I've been considering going over there and giving him a slap all day. He sent a load of messages earlier to my mrs ebay account then opened up a paypal case. Still sending pictures of a different cue or partail pictures rather of what looks like some cheap old rosewood cue that is splintered I would call it. And said he would get the Police involved to get his money back. He is one slippery c*#t Wants money back, and insurance claim with parcel force that he expects me to deal with. I told him to go f*#k himself. I'm very close to paying him a visit. Trying to keep my cool this evening big time

He never used to bother me and I just laughed at his prices as I thought no one was buying them but I see from his feedback he has sold three or four at least, just from what I checked, at unreal prices.
Just tell him you look forward to the police coming and if he doesn't contact them you will as he's trying to commit fraud.

[CfcMicky]

He needs a slap, dirty b. I see ADR has said it happens to him as well, probably more common than most of us would know, it would never ever enter my head to behave like that, some proper slimy folk around.
