Susan As in Daves case that is WHAT was done. And it
turned into this.And before I say anything else I want to say that I
APOLOGIZE for the name calling.I will no longer be responding to Dave or about
this anymore but I do want to respond to Susan because she asked in a KIND
way .
Dave returned the poster to me INSURED. When it was
delivered it was left at my neighbors house. When I was given the package it was
empty. It looked like the poster had come out through the taped area on the
package. Like it was thrown or something.I don't know but it was open and there
was no poster. I told Dave this and he was upset. I don't blame him. I told him
that we had to file a claim. I filed the claim and then NOTHING HAPPENED. I
received a letter that asked me to take the empty package to MY post office and
I did that.I copied the paper work THAT I HAD and dropped everything off. Then
Dave started sending me emails that they had nothing. Where is the DAMAGE
CLAIM??? I told him what I had done and that I could do nothing else and we had
to wait . That I had no damage claim just the letter they sent and I had it
DATE stamped to prove I had dropped it off. So he keeps sending me emails asking
me to fax a DAMAGE CLAIM and I keep telling him THEY NEVER GAVE ME ONE.He gets
mad.He tells me to call a woman at the post office to give her the info I had.I
call the number he gave me and they SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF HER. Anyways I ask
them about the item and they look it up and tell me that DAVE had not shown them
the INS RECEIPT and that was the hold up. So I tell him this and he says that no
that's not true.That he did show them the receipt.I BELIEVE HIM. He then comes
back again about I need to fax a DAMAGE REPORT to the fax number. I tell him yet
AGAIN THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ONE.Then he goes can I go to where I dropped it off
and get them to do it. I tell him I will the next time I go there. He sends me a
SNOTTY email about how I ripped him off and I OWE HIM. I tell him I am trying to
help him and to BACKOFF or I will stop helping because I am getting tired
of this also. He then sends me another snotty email and I get mad and start
cussing.In the meantime I go to my post office and they cant find anything.
lucky for me I saved the paper work I had and show it to them and they remember
that I did do it and they promise me they will look into it. I wait a week.I get
3 more emails from Dave.I tell him there is nothing more I can do and I am mad
so I am cussing up a storm. So I call claims office and I spend 4HOURS on the
phone getting it looked into .They give me good news that they found it and that
they are looking into it.I was HAPPY as can be. So I get Daves number from EBAy
and try to call him. I call for 2 days. No response. Next thing I know he has
left me NEG FEEDBACK and started this nonsense on HERE. He emails me that
he will not speak to me because he does not want to hear my abusive language(yea
right) and that he is going to SMEAR*(my term not his) my name and do what
he is doing.The rest you all know. I don't know if they ever paid him or not and
by the way this has all turned out I no longer care but I did what I could and
this is what I got.
In the mean time I sale a SPIDER MAN 1 and the
buyer says that I ripped him off and that he received a empty package. He
leaves me NEG feedback and files a PAYPAL claim the day he receives the
package. No email no call just all these actions without giving me a chance to
do anything.Paypal takes 2400.00 out of my account. I insured the book and sent
it REGISTERED SIGNED RECEIPT in 6 days. PAYPAL tells me that I don't fall under
SELLER Protection because the PAYPLE claim is filed under ITEM NOT RECEIVED and
that it is not covered under SELLER PROTECTION. I tell them that the
item WAS RECEIVED that the buyer said the PACKAGE was empty. They said they
told him to FILE it that way. SO I could do nothing about it. So now I am
waiting on the INS claim from the POST office and have YET to hear any POSITIVE
news on that. So Dave sees this and makes a big deal of it.
Then I have a guy send me back 2 books that he paid 300.00
for.He says that they were not in the cond that I sold them as.I tell him to
send them back and I will look at them. I get them and they are NOT THE BOOKS I
sent him.They are BEAT UP much worse books that he has obviously replaced with
the ones I sent him. I tell him I am returning them. THey were sent INSURED.
They were signed for. He files a claim with his CREDIT CARD company.PAYPAL pulls
the money from my account.They will not cover me as it is a ITEM NOT AS
DESCRIBED. I cant file a INS claim because they are not MY BOOKS. So the guy
gets my books. He gets the Money. I get his books that are falling apart.
I loose the money and I cant do a thing about it. I send Paypal the proof that
they are not my BOOKS. I have photos. I have the delivery confirm.They say they
can do nothing that it is a CIVIL case and I'm suppose to open a case for 2
books that are worth 300.00. Yea right. So much for seller protection and
INS.
Heres the best one and a WARNING TO ALL. If you send
ANYONE a item paid for through PAYPAL and it is not a confirmed address they
will not PAY THE CLAIM.And most FOREIGN paypal accounts are UNCONFIRMED.
I've had 5 FOREIGN sales claim they did not receive the item I sent. I sent
them registered mail and they showed proof of delivery.PAYPAL said since it
was a unconfirmed address I could not file the claim.
As to why it takes me the time it does to send items does
not really matter but I will tell you why since you ask. I want to point out
that I do tell people I am slow and it takes me up to 30 days to ship items.I am
late on THAT quite often. I publish a magazine. I also do html and other web
work and also work with a friends SPORTS merchandise company I have known for
years. I work many hours . The items I sale are my personal items I have
collected over the years and I have 1000s of items. I have been selling them. It
is NOT MY BUSINESS. It is something I do on the side and I pack when I can and
it is slow and I admit I HATE doing it. I am the first to admit that I am not a
PROFESSIONAL store or any kind of business in this while many say because of the
AMOUNT of items I sale I am. I have no customer service. I do this by
myself and I do sale a lot of items so it does take me a lot a time and I
am slow and late all the time. But I do send the items and I do create a lot of
the problems myself because of this. I admit it. But I am not a thief and I
fully admit I suck at mailing on any time sced.I don't hide this. But when
I am accused of being a thief that's where it stops.
Sorry this is so long winded and I know many of you are
sick of me.I will try and not comment on this anymore.

MOPO ?
Al,
If you are shipping something of value, wouldn't it be wise to get a
signature request and insure the item? If that were done and the scenario you
stated, buyer claiming they never received the item, you would have proof they
did with a signature request and if they claim the tube was empty, you
can file an insurance claim to recoup your funds. I have been receiving
shipments and sending shipments for over 30 years, thousands of
them, and only on one occasion did a package arrive with nothing in it
and that was the Joe Hernandez theft of my posters. These are the methods
of seller protection I use, they are minimal costs and they are usually
paid for by the buyer. If you are running a business then you have to
protect yourself, and the aforementioned methods are ways to do it, but more
importantly you have to protect your client's interest also. That is part of
the sale and once you have someone's money, it is incumbent on you to get them
their purchase as soon as possible.
Hey this isn't rocket science, you pack the product, insure it and
get a signature request, and ship it in a timely manner. If a problem occurs
with the shipment, you deal with and rectify it immediately. In all
honesty, don't you think that's fair. I ship over 25 boxes a
day and there are just the two of us packing them up and entering them on the
shipping manifest. Our orders, and we have to build the frames first, go out
of here within 1-4 days. Shipping a poster is a breeze compared to
that! So, I don't understand the problem. I'm an not trying to be
antagonistic, of course mistakes can happen. I just don't understand
why, as you claim, they happen so frequently with your
transactions, that they are always someone else's fault, and they wind
up, usually out of buyer frustration, coming to the attention of the
group here. It's not like this is the first time this has come up.....and
please, if your answer is just going to be a screamfest or ranting,
instead of a genuine explanation, then spare me the reply.
Sue Heim
((group of professional sellers and experienced collectors))
Wow thats says a lot. If this was the case I would never have to say a
thing because TRUE professional sellers and experienced collectors
would never post a lot of the nonsense that is posted here. Look I dont care
if you like me or not. But I have just as much right to respond to
accusations as any one else here. If you have a problem with that then YOU
are the one with the problem not me. If you cant see DAVEs true intentions
then you are BLIND.What purpose was there in him GLOATING that I was
GONE FROM ebay like he was some master killer or something. It sure as hell
was not to protect anyone. Did he not think I would not see it????He had
NOTHINg to do with my TEMP suspension from EBAy. And yes I have some negs.
And guess what some (6) have been removed in the last 2 days. And thats not
the point.He comes on here and makes this a public affair AFTER I tell him
to back off on his threats because Im suppose to tell the post office what
to do to his standards.. He got mad and THEN made this PUBLIC.NOT me he
did. If he was so concerned about it he would have done it from the START.
But he showed his true colors and if you cant see them then I cant help you.
I could come on here and cry about all the people that bid on my items and
dont pay me.I could cry about how I send items out that were paid by paypal
and then they claim they never received them and PAYPAL just takes the money
and I CAN DO NOTHING. How if anyone pays with a credit card through PAYPAL
they can just file a claim with the credit card company and PAYPAL
takes the money and you can not DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT. How people claim
that they never receive items when they were sent with tracking and you can
not PRIOVE itbecausejustbecauseyouhave tracking means NOTHING.
That SELLER PROTECTION is a joke.THat things happen and YOU DONT know
what the facts are but you base things on hear say. I could come on here and
say so and so did this to me. I dont .I Have asked SCOTT to PLEASE stop
these kinds of posts and he lets them go. So why not let mine go??? I did
not start this.Am I suppose to just sit back and say nothing???I did not
bring this up.There are people on here who ARE on my side.They say nothing
because they see what I go through here and do not want to deal with
it. I dont want to deal with it either but I am not going to just let
it fly which is what I have been told I should do. So Im sorry if
I offend some of you.I dont want to. I did not start this.And I do wish it
would STOP.Until it does I will have my say.This was between me and Dave.
And thats how it should be. He wanted to make it into this. So blame him for
this.

Subject: [MOPO] Kicking Someone off
MOPO ?
Dr. V,
Of course Scott is the only one who can "kick off"
someone off the MOPO list... and I personally hate it when we
get to the point where the idea comes up in public, although on very
rare occasions it has been necessary. As a group we've always
fostered a very open atmosphere. There are groups and forums out there
where people are kicked off all the time for one infraction or another...
sometimes it is deserved, sometimes it's sheer caprice. MOPO isn't like
that. I think the idea of an open discussion group is a good one,
even if sometimes the results are a bit messy and unpleasant -- but it
allows everyone to present their side if a dispute does come
up.
Now, in this most recent case we have an
situation where one seller is clearly out of touch with the reality
of communicating to a group of professional sellers and experienced
collectors. He seems to think if he yells loud enough, is insulting
enough, and claims that since we haven't held the items in our hands
personally that we don't have a right to form an opinion that this list
will ignore the very real problems surrounding his operations. This
is sad and unfortunate attitude on his part, but at least we can see where
he's at and make our own decisions as to whether to do business with him.
I prefer this situation to not having him on the list at all, where I
might never have found out about the complaints some people have with him
or heard from him directly his own peculiar rationales regarding those
complaints.
Membership in MOPO has never been a guarantee
that it is safe to do business with someone just because they belong
to the list. People need to remember that. There's no way Scott or anyone
else can vouch for all 400-plus members. And Scott is wisely very
reluctant to take action against a MOPO member. It took quite a
while to get the notorious Joe DePrenda kicked off of MOPO, but it
did finally happen.
Now, let's be fair -- Al Shevy is not exactly Joe
Deprenda. His 2-year eBay feedback record isn't the best on the
block, but while there have been 16 individuals who have left negative or
neutral feedback on him, many of them fairly recently, there have
also 165 individuals who have left positive feedback on him:
On the other hand, Al's attitude in responding to
public complaints on this list has been combative,
insulting and, worse, haven't made much sense a lot of the
time. So it may be time for Scott to take a look at
the kind of posts Al has offered on this list over the past
couple of months, and take the matter under advisement. But that's up to
Scott.

Because maybe your friend is the one who is a bunch of
bullshit.Maybe you dont know the facts and you just spout off with
nonsense like your buddy.Im not the one who keeps harping on this
crap. I have said NOTHING and yet your buddy Dave just wants to keep
it up. Like I have said before and I will say it again I WILL NOT SIT
SILENT when this goes on.Maybe the deceptive ones are the ones who
make the complaints.Dave has an agenda. Im not saying that Dave
has no right to be mad. I understand it. I would be mad too if I was
jerked around by the post office. He got mad because he HARRASSED me
about something I WAS TRYING to help him with and I told him to back
off.And so this is what he did and is doing under the guise of
helping others to avoide me when in essence he is mad because I told
him to back off with his crap. I am the first to admit I am a
ASSHOLE.I dont take crap. I am slow and I hide nothing.I did not make
this a public thing.HE DID. Dont want to hear about it then tell your
buddy TO SHUT THE HELL UP.

MoPo....???
Here's a question for the MOPO forum. Why does MoPo
let deceptive members fly under our flag? Why does it let
members remain in good standing who blatantly rip off another
group member? While it remains an open forum and most of the members
are dear friends of mine, I find it, at other times repulsive, cruel
and a bunch of Bullshit!! It's almost time to say adieu to the
MoPo, before I start saying things that might make me end
up sounding like an ASSHOLE!!! Cordially drV

Al Shevy, aka "coolstuff159" is no longer a registered eBay member.
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=coolstuff159
His negative feedbacks got up to 13, double the number when I first alerted
MOPO to this seller last month.
Slow shipping (measured in months), non-delivery, gross misrepresentation of
items, empty packages--a great way to build your business. I know, it's not
his fault and everyone is out to get him.
