holygrailvideogames.com Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Almost 2 and a 1/2 years ago I bought an item from this buyer. It was for some cards for my son who had used his own money to pay for the cards. The seller (now buyer) wouldn't respond to my emails or send out the item. Everyday my son would check the mail and then he would be upset when the item didn't arrive. I finally had to call him to get the cards. A couple of days ago this same guy bought something from me. I didn't realize it was him because he has a different eBay id now. I noticed that he left positive feedback immediately which is very strange (only the 2nd time it has happened to me). I am getting my packages ready to ship this week and I noticed this note with his PayPal message. Note: Dear Seller: I do not wish for you to send this item to me. I just would like your positive feedback. I know I send you replacement cards way back. Take care, Chris He did send some extra cards about a year after the original transaction. Here is the item that he bought. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMESO%3AIT&rd=1 Does this seem strange to anyone? Here it is almost 2 and 1/2 years later.

mumbai Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Strange? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Strange? Yes. 879077[/snapback] Agreed as well. I would also send him the game anyway - this way he can't file a complaint w/ EPay or PayPal for not receiving his product. And if the guy is *that* hard up for a positive feedback there is probably a good reason why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 How did he guess it was you? You would have been stlouisrams2002 or 2K1 back then... I agree, strange indeed, but cool for you right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, strange indeed, but cool for you right? 879092[/snapback] I left him a negative back then so there still is a record of that in his feedback profile. He didn't send money for shipping so I don't know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't send money for shipping so I don't know what to do. He didn't pay anything at all?! That would piss me off especially with EPay fees. Tell him if he doesn't send you the $, you've already had practice at leaving him a neg before... Oh, and to have a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) He said he didn't want anything though right besides for the pos feedback?? Any gave you a pos, so he's not looking to get even or anything, maybe just remorse? If you are worried about not shipping anything print out the paypal invoice, and write thanks on it, and put in a regular envelope & mail to him. That'd cost around .34 cents, and you can print out a DC label for it possibly or pick up one at the post office. Less than a dollar total, and then just relist the cart.

Mindfield Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) That's definitely strange. He paid for the auction but not shipping because he didn't actually want the item -- just the feedback. I can't see him just wanting to buy feedback; a search of "positive feedback" will list reams of thinly disguised pay-for-feedback auctions, all a tenth of what he paid. Perhaps he just wanted to atone for his earlier misdeed? Edited June 23, 2005 by Mindfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Consider this a totally separate transaction and leave him positive for paying for an item and telling you to keep it. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Keep the money and leave positive feedback for him. He held up his end of the deal and you can resell the item he had bought from you. Just make sure you keep a record of the Paypal email in case he changes his mind later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTemplar Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 You should just refund his payment and explain to him that you have no hard feelings and that the negative you gave him 2 1/2 years ago can`t be removed now (even if you wanted to). And that if he really wants the item he should redo his payment with the shipping costs included. Either way, I`d tell him that I`m not comfortable taking his 10$ for nothing.

conda Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I would send him an email asking him flat out what the heck is he talking about and why is he doing this. That is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Give me the money and the feedback... And your son's cards. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holygrailvideogames.com Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 I usually don't bump up old topics but I received this message from the same guy who my original post was about tonight: Question from topriority Item: GHOST MANOR SPIKE'S PEAK DOUBLE ENDER ATARI 2600 XONOX (8228665680) This message was sent while the listing was active. topriority is a potential buyer. Dear Seller: If I purchase this item for you, will you leave me positive feedback as a buyer? Please let me know, eather way. Take care, Chris My original transaction with this guy was from January 2003. What the fuck is up with this guy. One of the stranger people from eBay that I have come in contact with.

J.Max Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 What's weird is that only the first positive feedback is counted. Strange request... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 If he already left you a positive AND paid for the item then I think you should send the item to me since he already paid and doesn't want and I do want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsralph Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Maybe he thinks that a positive will cancel out the negative. Why he is concerned with it is a mystery given his excellent feedback rating, though. Did you ever find out why he thought this was a good idea? Truly strange, no doubt!

Famicoman Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I don't think it is strange at all. I have a really good memory(I can remember my first post) and I think that he probobly has remembered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 That is pretty strange. What did you end up doing with the Vectrex game that he bought but didn't want to receive? Did you send it to him? Did you refund his money? Did you leave him positive feedback? If you left him positive feedback back in June, you should tell him that another positive feedback won't show up in his total feedback score. eBay stalkers! Fun! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 So what did you end up doing the last time Sean? When this thread was first started, he had already bought the item, but just asked you to keep it. Did you finish the transaction then? Ship or just agree to keep the money? Refund? Did he post a positive feedback for you vack in June? And did you not leave any for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
