I was stiffed by this Greek woman as well. Be warned. She changes her Ebay name frequently so that she can continue to buy things and not pay for them. She's a real loser. FRANC

(after 4 whole weeks on his death bed),a tragedy occured to my family!My dear father passed away at the age of 65 (he was battling lung cancer for a year,alas,he didn't make it-God Bless his Soul-).Thus,I won't not abble to fullfil my obligation to you.You see,my dear friend,some stuff in life happenand we should NEVER take things for granted.Please,e-mail me. From the bottom of my heart,thank you,and again,sorry for any inconvenience I caused you.(And,please,cancel our transaction,and do not strike me with an unpaid item on my eBAY Account!).God Bless us All...AND may the Good Karma follow on your life's path.PLEASE,SHOW YOUR LENIENCY.Things are out of my hand,and please Things are out of my hand,and please,cancel the transaction.The Funeral Expences,alone,cost about $4,500.Please mercy me,and do not strike my eBAY account with "UNPAID ITEMS" Indications. i tell him in one phrase i have enough of people like him coming up with the most honourless excuses for not paying and how comes if his father is dead that he's bombing me daily with emails to not open unpaid items disputes , his reply seems to come out of a really cheap greek tragedy : I wonder why some people are so malliciously spreading rumors about others, without even bothering to check the facts of each individual case! I also wonder why do you believe all this hype! PEOPLE "TALK",BUT(UNFORTUNATELY),THEY DON'T "WALK"! Why do you get "trapped" in this kind of gossip (which,for sure,has a terribly shameful effect to other innocent buyers here on eBAY, and,making us bitter with our significant pals,family,religion etc. Cynics and pretenders that think (basically out of hate and repulsion for the other fellow man) they know everything, destroy reputations,dignities,humble and decent lives,just for the sake of their own ignorance, that they baptise knowledge. All this unacceptable small-talking,is the beginning of all evil that hems us, holding us prisoners in our everyday's doubts, despute my integrity and my honor Simple as that! I ALWAYS KEEP MY WORD. I'm not a crook or a rogue trader,who tries to deceive anybody. Trust,my pals,is absolutely and positively one of the very,very few things that is left to connect us as a solid rock beings. So,trust me, and don't believe the hype! Enjoy your day... PS.As for "wondering",for bothering you,concerning my eBAY Account, it has to do with one word: "HOPE". That one day,Greece will overcome its fiscal problems,and will be a respectful Country (again) in the eyes of the rest of the World, with all of us (here in Greece), being able to be part of making transactions with the rest of the Global Human Community. That's all. Please,my dear pal, reconcider,show your leniency and forgive-NOT forget- Your mercy is wanted by someone, who experiences a harsh time. Peace and Love, will prevail, if people like You, want to help. >From a totally devastated person, wish you a Happy 4th Of July for you and your Family. So his father is supposed to be dead , he can't pay for all his wins but guess what ? some days later in my new batch of auctions he starts bidding wildly again ! so had to cancel all his bids and put him on my blocked bidder list ... how pathetic can one get ? _____ Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 14:40:22 -0400 From: fdav...@verizon.net Subject: Re: [MOPO] Ebay Buyer from hell To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Have any of the Ebay sellers on this board had dealings with a Ebay Buyer named John Cioffi aka supabintan? He lives in Victoria, Australia and appears to be the buyer from hell. He purchased something from me on June 14. When I didn't receive payment from him, I sent him an Ebay Reminder ten days later on June 24, which did elicit a response and the response unfortunately was some nonsense about having trouble with PayPal and he wanted me to accept an alternate payment, which I almost never do anymore except for good customers that I've dealt with over the years. I reluctantly said I would accept a postal money order which he told me he'd send out by Express Mail. A few days later, he sent me some nonsense about how I should have graded the lobby card he purchased as Good condition and not as Excellent- because I said it had a few pinholes. This was before even paying for or receiving the lobby card in question and I probably should have known at that point that this buyer was going to be bad news. I told him that grading terms were subjective but a photo scan that was enlargeable was provided on Ebay, as well as a thorough description of all the defects on the card. He then sent me a list of links to photos of cards he owned which he wanted me to rate. I declined and asked him when he planned to pay for the card he bought from me. He once again promised to send the payment by Express Mail. As of last Thursday evening I still had not received a payment from this idiot and asked him for a tracking number which he refused to provide so I closed my Ebay Dispute and received a Final Value Fee from Ebay. He then proceeded to sent a tirade of e-mails, one of which DID contain a tracking number for an International Air Mail Delivery which was delivered to a USPS Disbatch Center in New York for distribution but was clearly not delivered to me as of yet. If I ever do get this payment, I'm sending it back unopened. I don't want to do business with jerks like this anymore. Life is too short. Unless you've got loads of patience, I'd recommend you add supabintan to your Bidder's Block List.
