e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

I put some killer kkt magnesiums on e-bay, and on the first day i get a BIN from the user Gregcustom and then he doesn't pay me for two days. On the third day he tells me he will pay in a week (its now a Friday) when he gets paid ! Now, it's three days past Friday of the next week, still no payment, and today i get "you can cancel it, because i still haven't gotten paid and don't know when i will."
   The big deal here members is that this character seems to be bidding , and winning lots of high end auctions for mucho Old School BMX items including complete bikes, NOS high buck items ... and has been actively bidding right through yesterday ! WTF !!! ? Some people just P.MeThe F.O. !! if you know what i mean. Any of my good Aussie buyers or users know this cat ? I can pm personal info. Sorry for the vent !!

Re: e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

dont blame ya a bit for venting same goes for slow shippers ya send an instant transfer so ya know your end is a done deal and someone on the other end drags thier feet to get ya your stuff! makes this whole electronic system sketchy and its not fair to people who are honest and want to get what they want without having to beat the street for years. smilesmile

Re: e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

This S.O.B won a set of Redline cranks from me, doesn't pay, YET leaves me positive feedback?
I have an investigation going on with ebay with this guy.
He keeps telling me that he is waiting for money on Friday, WHICH Friday would that be, you J.O.!
DO NOT SELL TO THIS GUY.  madmad

Re: e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

Haha, what a loser. He just emails me after I said to him, "Hey J.O., you going to buy these cranks or what."
He replies to me, "Put them where they belong, in your A$$". I replied to him, "Hey buddy, from the look at all the 5 people putting negative feedbacks for you, guess it's you who is taking it up the a$$" hmmlol

Re: e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

Yeah, he is no longer a user.
He's been sending messages through my other auctions with comments like, "Haha, got you"
and "you'll get no money" and I relisted the cranks so he sends me a message, "Not selling, haha"
Seems like a kid playing games. Guess they have that overseas as well roll

Re: e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

****Latest on the tool gregcustom.******

He bought something from theflamingyawn, and the guy leaves positive feedback for gregcustom.
Ughh, DO NOT deal with this guy. He should be kicked off, sellers cannot leave negative feedback
so it goes as a positive, but you can leave a message as a negative............AND you can follow up your feedback left.

There is nothing wrong with aussie bidders, heck, they are the ones that will outspend lots here in the States wink
It's a shame that one guy makes the rest of you look bad.
If you live near this guy, leave a flaming bad of dog shit on his doorstep for all that have been screwed by this guy.

No,he's still a user on there. gregcustom has 32 positive feedback, yet 5 of the feedbacks are " non-paying bidder". That's ebays fault for having that lame-ass policy.

Re: e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

Same problem here. He contacted me about buying a high dollar DY f/f. Told me he'd send me payment in 5 weeks. Then 5 weeks later he says oops it will be another 5 weeks. That was 11 weeks ago. He is still active with 41 feedback including 6 negatives. Proof positive that ebay doesnt give a shit about you as a seller. They only care about there percentage. What really bothers me is he has purchased alot of decals. So, if he is truely a douche, we may come to expect him selling counterfeit goods soon.

Re: e-bay buyer warning ! "gregcustom" from down under.

This guy screwed me too. I sold two sets of rims on ebay and then he didn't pay.

But I see this as a problem not only with this guy, but also

A PROBLEM WITH EBAY!!!!!

Ebay sucks!! I thought that if you don't pay for three items, then they ban you? How can it be that he is still bidding? I have two cases where I had to get a refund. And here are many more.

And as a seller you can't even leave  negative feedback !!!! After I got my refund I was no longer allowed to leave any feedback. A buyer cannot receive  negative feedback. Why? All his feedbacks are positive and the people write that he didn't pay.

I see that people left him feedback? I could not do this. Ebay blocked it after I got my refund.
