Report bad sellers on internet. (Page 9 of 11)

Well, from my experience he's the worst Italo seller I ever bought from. He overcharged me for shipping, he waited 15 days to ship them (while he said he posted them the day after, so he's a liar too). When I finally got them today it was badly packed (a very thin pizza box), half of the records were overgraded (most of them even didn't have inner sleeves which is really bad for the records and the communication was really poor. Avoid like the plague!

well, FD spams a lot too so it could have been him 
ps, could you check your copy of Boomerang Club Band - Dee Jay Superstar please? Mine looks like NM but it plays with a lot of surface noise and pops    It was the most expensive from the batch but it plays the worst...

I always buy from the same guys on discogs because of that. I'm very satisfied with:
Ilabig64
Discolo
DiscoMagic
Terminator-X  ---> he always undergrades his records
best80 ---> if I'm right this is Roberto

Discostoria is a bit of a hit and miss indeed, he always has a lot from my wantlist but 1) he's the most expensive and 2) he overgrades his records.

I know some people had bad experiences with Ilario but I have always been very happy with his service: great records, good condition and he always makes package deals. I never had any complaints about him. Very nice chap too.

stick to the above sellers, really.

You are right, Ray. When I receive these kind of explanation for grading "from mint to fair is ocean is possible eh? is possible
i'm serious seller" I don't know what to say ...

haha, that's a classic: "I'm serious seller". I've heard that one a couple of times 
My worst experience was a seller on ebay called bau3642. I bought Michael Maltese - It Isn't Changed from him and the package was so poor that the record arrived in two pieces. He refused to refund me because he said "you broke it, I serious seller" and a lot of blablabla. After I left him bad feedback he stopped using that account. I'm sure he already got another one, sending records in very bad package like he used to do. Ah, crazy Italians 

i know i told this story  before but i am still pissed about a BAD BUYER (this can also happen).

Normally i didnt care too much because buyers are offten not really serious but this guy tried to cheat me in such a poor and bad way that i am still pissed.

two years ago i had one of my famous ebay-auctions.
75 records, all with high quality pictures and soundfiles (some robots might remember).

two days after the auction´s beginning i noticed that a strange new memeber with zero feedback was bidding on a lot of my records.

i sended him a mail to confirm.

he answered:

"hey no problem, you can trust me, i am a serious buyer i really wish to have all those records i am bidding on.
my name is Martin Bouariz and i am the brother of Joakim, i am running Tigersushi records"

(all that is true, i checked it)

ok, i was still nervous but let him bid.

at the end he won 30-35 of the 75 records.

total amount: >1000 USD !!!!

next day his account was suspended.

he sended me a mail:

"oh, they suspended my account because they found out that i had another account before with non paying alert. but hey, trust me, you know where and who i am. i will pay for sure."

then a payment via paypal came. but only pending (check clearing situation)

he sended me numerous mails:

"you can send out, payment will be cleared today or tommorrow."

12 days later payment was cancelled.

thank god i did not send out.

but after 14 days no chance to sell the records to other bidders.

Are all belgian paranoid haters ? I don't know if we're allowed to generalize 

he is also phonovision, populare_mechanik and some more ....

he is still selling @ the bay

Crasy storie Micky...

Hey Markus - yes indeed a shame with all those "bad"(wrong) ratings... I guess "business" took over if you know what I mean. (mint = higher price etc.) I even heard about people who sealed the records again to rise the price 

sorry slightly off topic:
a handfull of italian sellers really made good money from 2003 to 2010...some of them now moved on to selling heavy metal  (I have no idea that this was a good business too)

without a doubt, they must have made big bucks.

do you know who has left the "italo business" for heavy metal? due to the given problem(s), i don't cry a tear from them .....

i guess even italy is kinda "empty" when it comes to find old original vinyl masterpieces. during the last 6 -7 years they must have looked under each stone for the 12inches. old radio stations and discotheque cellars, there is a time when every place have been purged ...

but for me, italo has not faded away (even if i nowadays appreciate a lot of music, mostly electronic), and it didn't during the 90s.

some links to his metal-account?
Could not find it.
As 0toro he still has only Italo ...

I opened a paypal claim about the "disco storia" ... Today paypal let me know about a partial refund, in case I will send back the records at my shipping cost. So I have no records, shipping cost of about EUR 8,00 and get a part of my money back. WOW, that's what I call a perfect deal with me as a satisfied customer. Thanks Discostoria, you know how to treat customers.

Anyway, f*** off the money, keep the records and gave him negative feedback. End of storia ... !
