Oh I had worse

Anyway...I bought alot of items from all around the world and never had any problems so I can't really comment on this. Good luck to everyone who is currently involved with this scammer.

Members at www.assemblergames.com forum believe that famicom_world has stolen pictures from Japan Yahoo auctions, then use them as his "auctions":

Holy shite

Thanks for the heads up on him! I too feel lucky to have walked away with a 5 AES Cart purchase unscathed! All were neatly packaged and were in damn fine shape.

A kin to Like winning $500 at the casino slots with 25 cents..Im taking my winnings and running out!! avoiding this ebayer! THANK YOU I nearly bid TODAY on his Rage of the Dragons AES.

Find him. Break his hands and feet. Take every cent he took from you out of his ass. Problem solved.
No shit, where I’m from if you rip somebody off for that amount of money you’d better go off the grid. No one is more than a couple of flights away.

That not only sounds painful but rather messy and time consuming, passing a couple thousand dollars in change though the GI. It would definitely get your point across though.

He has no spine yet you assume he has a GI tract?

i got lucky!!!
didnt see this thread and did an order from this ebay user...got my package ok...
i got a wwf pcb and a capcom vs snk...
which he described as a jamma...then aruged after i got it as it was just a cartridge that neededa bunch of adaptors and a motherboard...
he told me this was jamma plug and play...
fortuantly sold it to someone else who has the system and was collecting the game cartridge.
now some of my mistake for not double checking what he said...ive ordered from many other helpful people and they were all right...
he lied to get me to bid and then insulted me saying i didnt know what i was bidding on... LOL thats why i asked seller questions before bidding...
i got a cart to a jamma pcb as he said it would be...
what a douche. i left him bad feedback and he tries to say on his comment i tried to scam him?
LOL i asked him to take it back he said no. so i sold it to someone who had the stuff for it and left my feelings in feedback!
what a douche!

 

[SNKorSWM]

He has set his feedback to private, so no one else can read them now.

 

[Fritz]

You can't set your FB to private if you have active listings. I would like to see something else implemented where you cant change it to private for x number of days after you finish listing auctions either.

I would not be surprised if some shill bidding was going on. Couple years back you could look through completed listings, see all the bidders and look for shill bidding activity. Not anymore, thanks ebay.

Also what the hell pays $710.00 for a horribly faded shock troopers.

 

[Wombie]

Thanks for the kind words, guys. It's comforting to know that people out there still give a crap about these things...

I thought that Shock trooper 2 was a fake listing, counterfeiting from a yahoo.jp auction?

Obviously he knows something is up - or worse, he just ripped off another sets of ebayers and disappearing with the money again(therefore the private feedback now)

OK, stupid Q, but can someone here please enlighten me about how to post pictures...? I just tried to post some of this jerk's pics, but failed miserably...

I upload to Photobucket then cut and paste the IMG file on to the post. dont know if theres a easier way.

 

[city41]

his feedback is private but it does indicate 4 negatives left this month. Presumably the four expensive auctions he had running.

 

[SNKorSWM]

Or rather, the first four buyers that figured out they've been had. The ending date on his most recent listings was Jan.22. So I'd say by Feb.21 he's probably going to have a lot more negatives. If he wants to scam, he's not going to ship anything at all.

 

[Bjoern]

Shit shit shit.. i bought a Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 from him

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270691857661&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

He sendet me a tracking ID.. but the ID is false... and now he dont answer me anymore..

Is it possible to get my money from PayPal back?

Regards
Bjoern

 

[Hewitson]

Sure it is. Paypal always side with the buyer, even if he's completely in the wrong.

You could tell them you connected a JAMMA board to 240V and they would give you a refund on it.

 

[Bjoern]

Thanks for the words

So what do you think when i should open a case on ebay?

i paid on january 28.

But the tracking ID is false and he do not answer me anymore..

The package is normally sendet from US to Germany.. should i wait? Or should i open a case and tell ebay that he is a scammer?

I'd open up a case as soon as possible, give paypal the link to the thread regarding him on here, and prove to them that the tracking number provided to you was fake.

 

[Bjoern]

Thanks,

i opened a case now on PayPal.. hope this helps..

Thanks

One of the reasons why famicom_world (from Hong Kong) set his feedback to private is because he doesn't want people to see the very first 2 feedback in his account were left by scammer softmap.hk (also from Hong Kong)

I find a few things interesting:
(1) softmap.hk clearly states "I will not ship to Hong Kong". Yet softmap.hk "sold" 2 items to famicom_world and left feedback?!
(2) As member Wombie pointed out, this scammer "Michal Wong" owns a dog/dogs. Japan-bid (from Hong Kong) Ebay profile picture is a dog. Coincidentally, famicom_world Ebay profile picture also has a similar dog.
(3) famicom_world recently added a "Me" page stating that "We buy collection". The picture in his profile is stolen from elsewhere (I can't remember where).

Japan-bid Ebay profile picture:

http://myworld.ebay.com/japan-bid

famicom_world Ebay profile picture:

http://myworld.ebay.com/famicom_world

Scammer softmap.hk clearly says he does not ship to Hong Kong (close to the bottom of the page), yet the first 2 transactions for famicom_world from Hong Kong "purchased" 2 items from softmap.hk and received 2 positive feedback:

famicom_world current Ebay "Me" picture stolen from the internet and falsely claim those are his collection:

http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=famicom_world

He has set his feedback to private, so no one else can read them now.

 

[Heath]

That bottom picture which he claims is his collection is of what is believed to be the biggest video game collection in the world. i read about it a few years back. its distinctive since the collector covers the floor with games which i thought was a stupid idea.

 

[Hewitson]

That's not a collection, that's a fucking hoard of shit. How many of those games do you think are actually good?

 

[city41]

His feedback is private but you can see it on this page (ebay has a bug):
