Looks like I got scammed on eBay, paid for 3 SP20Es using BTC (I know, I know..) because the seller had 100% feedback and 173 transactions. Stupid me for thinking that was enough to trust him.

Here are the 3 units I "bought". Beware of him.

I'm feeling real fucking dumb right about now. Guess contacting eBay will be pointless, since I paid for them with BTC and have nothing but our messages as proof.

So did he not provide tracking within a few days of sale, did they not show up after a week or two, like pekatete asked how do you know you were scammed? Even with BTC payment a legitimate seller that is so active will most likely not risk loosing his 100% feedback so easily..

This started on March 13th. We messaged back and forth through eBay until we struck a deal, at which point he provided me with a BTC address to send my payment to. Sent him the payment, and asked him a follow up question. No answer on the 13th, or the 14th. On the 15th, I was worried so I wrote him again. Still no answer. I decided to bid up all 3 of them since I had paid for them already, and he only had those 3 to sell. They are legitimately mine, so why not. Trying to get his attention. He finally gets back to me last night, asking why I bid such a ridiculous price on all 3 of his items, proceeds to remove my bids, and sends me another message informing me that he did. Keep in mind he completely ignored my previous messages I sent him after paying him.

The 3 SP20Es are still up for sale, he's still ignoring me, and I can no longer bid on them or use the "ask the seller a question" option. Seems he's banned me from his auctions.

Do I have any recourse? The 3 SP20Es I bought are apparently available for local pickup in France, and he told me he has more SP20Es being hosted in Israel when he was actually communicating with me. I guess the only thing I can do is contact eBay, though I doubt they'll help since I paid with bitcoin. Undecided

Ohh, you didn't buy the items through ebay and pay via BTC, you just sent BTC directly to him.. Does ebay not even have a completed sale to reference?

PayPal [owned by eBay and is eBay's created means of making payments] does not accept BTC payments yet. If eBay (PayPal) had accepted BTC payments, this would not have occurred.

Pisses me off!

I think the issue may be that the price of BTC could change between the time of payment [While PayPal holds the payment] and the time the item is received by the buyer. The way to settle that is for the seller to simply accept an agreement when accepting bitcoin that they will be okay with BTC payment if the price of BTC has changed between the time of sell and the buyer receiving the item.

Yeah, it's got 400+ confirmations. I guess you're right, no point in delaying the inevitable. Time to call eBay.

Once you cross that line of reporting to ebay, could you also publish the transaction details here? Never know, he may have been careless enough and used an address that can be traced to him or used it for other transgressions that someone can identify / pick on ....

That would be great. I'll post it when I get through with ebay.

Hmmmm. I have to agree with you then!

Unless you are using an application to make your IP appear it is from a location in the US?

Heh, I've had very similar thoughts.

You should report even if you think it will not matter. You can demonstrate to eBay that you somehow paid him and you must have a conversation history to show in case they ask.

I will report him, and I do have the conversation history. Going to give him a bit more time, then call eBay if I don't hear from him.

Was about to suggest he may be waiting for 100 confirmations on the transaction, but that should have been done by now, so you really have no reason to delay notifying ebay. Also, all the listings say the item is in Israel, but the postage is by USPS. It may be that he's inexperienced in putting up such items for sale on ebay or that he's just carrying out a well orchestrated, carelessly executed scam! Either way, if you made your BTC payment over 2 days ago, get onto ebay now!

The reason it says, "USPS" is because eBay knows you are from the US and is telling you international shipping to the US via USPS is offered to you. His actual location is Reims, France

Anyone care to comment on how/when this thread got lockaed, and no unlocked? Seems odd. I am guessing it was a mistake, and probably not by Spondoolies.

I unlocked it, I'm not sure how it got locked. Maybe I pressed the Lock while reading with my mobile by mistake.

Thumbs too chubby there buddy.

Need a bigger phone screen.

For sure too chubby. Mutual problem I believe

Hard to find bigger than the Nexus 6 ...

try the sony experia ultra Z, it makes the Nexus 6 look tiny, it has a 6.4" screen at very high resolution.
