hi , the last one to have been a total asshole was 3 weeks ago on
ebay , a greek guy ( id : proficient911) wins 12 posters , some
days later he sais he can't pay for them as his father died , i
don't reply as this is total crap so i open unpaid items
issues for these , so he goes :
Hello from Greece.How many e-mails do I have to send you to explain
the situation my family experiences?
(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 ?

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Ebay Buyer from hell
To: <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]
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.
