OT: Need your guys help. Scammer (chair)

AKA Coastal · Dec 29, 2008

So my girlfriends chair ends last night for $2,600+ and I get home today to a big mess. Someone else has used her images and description to try and scam someone. Please report this item (<----- Click here) and get it removed. I've reported it to Ebay ,but I assume the more the better. Its impossible to get on the phone with Ebay. I would really appreciate it. The biggest problem is that the buyer of her chair is trying to cancel the transactions because they think we are trying to scam them. What a mess.

Take a pic of the chair with your user name on a piece of paper to try to ease your buyers mind. Place the paper on the chair and take the pic. I'll contact ebay and let them know about this situation.

Thanks. The poor buyer of her item doesn't know what to think. I understand where he's coming from...such a headache.

reported - hope it helps.

I agree with indymann - send a picture to the buyer with your user name on a piece of paper in the chair. Put something current like today's paper in the picture too. Good luck - hope the sale goes thru.

I reported it to ebay. I think you'll be okay if you do what I told you to do.

You guys are awesome. Can always count on FCB members.

Sent a message to the seller of the other item so they could go after him in that direction as well...

I will definitely report this if it's still up for auction when my mom gets home..I'll sign into her ebay and report it for you.
Good luck, hope all turns out okay.

Don't take this as me preaching or being too direct, but this is exactly why I've mentioned to others to somehow watermark their images. Every one of my listings has my user id in there somehow, via simple Photoshop watermark or actually putting my username on an index card and taking a pic that way. I know not everyone has the time, but it can save headaches like this in the future.

For the record, reported the as well. Good luck.

I reported it, hope they get him!

Resident Bay Fan · Dec 29, 2008

I just sent this question to him.

"Can you show me that you own the chair before I bid on it? I thought I saw this chair some where else not long ago. Thanks and lmk."

Wonder what he'll come back with if anything at all, lol. Best of luck to ya AKA.
