Roger,

I don't agree, but I don't know what the solution is. Heck, I have problems with people letting me know they've gotten their stuff, even after I email them asking. I do use UPS so I can tell if it's been delivered SOMEWHERE, but have no idea that THEY got it or the condition it arrived in.

Let's say they do what you suggest, the winner pays, the buyer ships, the parts are received, everyone's happy but the buyer forgets to tell ebay, has computer problems, or any number of other things happen. How does the seller get his money then? Besides, a lot of sellers are doing it because they NEED the money and may not have the money to ship it until it's paid for.

nicely put sean.

It's really easy to report something like this to eBay. Especially since some people aren't smart enough to know not to put BS like those responses in black and white so people can have proof. eBay is slow and not totally efficient, but they will take care of deadbeat bidders or sellers if proof is given.

Now, luckily, I have never dealt with this guy. I have been forewarned on the forum enough to be able to stray away from him. I agree that once a deal is made, whether on eBay or elsewhere, there is nothing short of personal catastrophe that should be more important than fulfilling your end of the deal. Excuses and other BS only make you look worse. I say, give him a certain amount of time to come through... if he doesn't, make a nice little presentation of all of your dealings with him and report him to eBay. Have everyone else on the forum that is complaining about him do the same. Unfortunately, e-mailing his bidders is also against eBay policy and could cause problems for you too...

As far as the shipping and handling controversy... I do add a handling charge when I ship. It is not extravagant. I ship only with USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. The cheapest I can ship something is $3.85. I charge $5.00. When I ship stuff out, I spend an entire afternoon packaging, labeling, and delivering to the post office. The few bucks I make off of handling don't come near the time spent, but that time is worth something... So far, after all my eBay dealings, only one person has complained. Even though all my S&H prices are offered up front, she bid on the item, won it, then decided she was only going to pay me what she wanted to pay for shipping... I promptly refunded her money and cancelled the auction. Of course, she left me negative feedback, but she is the one who looked stupid, plus, didn't get the items she wanted. All for $1.15! Some people think you can bully yourself around eBay. When I reported her to eBay, turned out that she had recently changed her name because of doing exactly this type of thing before and having lots of bad feedback.

>don't care what you say it will not make me die of hunger
Well I hope you don't die of hunger, as that is not the point..

>There are good people on the forum but they are a lot of sensation seekers who beg to be popular with the in crowd
There are some good people on the forum, and I am one of them...As I TOLD YOU this IS NOT about sensation seeking!
I cant you are so ****ing dumb, that you still don't get it..

THIS IS ABOUT A GUY ON EBAY WHO SELLS PARTS, AND EVEN THOUGH THE
CUSTOMER PAYS RIGHT AWAY, THE GUY TAKES THREE WEEKS TO SEND THE PARTS OUT!..

That's what this is about....and if you can't admit that there is something wrong with taking three weeks to sent
out am item, then you have a serious problem...I had to harass you to get you to send it...That's ****ed Up!...

>as long as I satisfy my customers and they are happy that is all that matters.
Well hello, here I am....

>Your **** is in the ****ing mail and when you do mother****er tell them that you got it and don't lie
I already told you, I will email you and let you know, as well as post for the others...
This is not fun for me, you actually think I like to sit here and argue with someone...Get a clue!...

[This message has been edited by Seanpaul (edited 04-19-2003).]

Hey Keith...

Why don't you contact me personally and we can hash this out once and for all...

I didn't ever say that I got it in pieces, you said that... But, without you posting here, once these emails have been copied/pasted, they're somewhat deceptive as to who said what... You're right, I did get my money... But, it took nearly a month.

You sent me lies upon lies, about who you were (or weren't), and that it's off the car, and would go out on the Friday after New Year's (the third of Jan.), then after about a week, you said that your mechanic still hadn't removed them from the car. WTF! Then, you told me to go screw myself, and you'd just refund the money... Two + weeks later, you finally did. Thanks! But, after that much trouble, and time spent, I'm not about to say that I had a pleasant business experience with you.

Call me all the names you want... I don't give a $hit... Just know that you're not someone that I'll want any of my friends doing business with. No lies... Just history.

Nic

I got a negative feedback from someone because I reminded him to pay after 2 weeks on a $2.00 item.So if you see a negative when someone has MANY positives it could just be a bad buyer who changed his mind. I love buying and selling on eBay.Bought my newest Fiero GT there and sold most of my parts car.

Well he sent me an email today with a letter form one of his customers who way happy doing business with him.
I sent it back asking why he had sent it to me...This was his responce:

Just to show you people are still buying what they want and ebay will deal with you soon for interfering and I still doing fine .I can send you a bunch of free parts on me to fix your car and pay the shipping too just make a list to show you I can back it up as long as it is reasonable so you other members can see that stealing $22 for your light is bull **** ,want to take up that challenge or dare tell me what you want...???????????
Ok, I'm sorry for not trusting you...You seem to go out of you're way to respond to a bunch of emails that I send,
so this shows that you do have a conscience to deal with the situation...Maybe I have overreacted a bit from the
responses I got from members on the forum...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can understand that if you have a lot of customers, that some are going to not be completely satisfied...
and I told you I would take almost any excuse about not shipping out the part right away...

Just be honest with me dude, you seem to care about what people think of you,
and this is probably because you do care about you're customers...

I don't trust no one...Have you ever been burned really bad...???
I'm the product of one ****ed up mother ****er....

I don't want any free parts, I really don't believe in free anyways...I just want to get the tail light,
and when it comes, I will not slam you anymore, and I will be sure to tell everyone....

Lets just let this be a lesson for both of us....you should be upfront with you're customers, even if it means saying
"Sorry, I got high the other day and forgot to ship you're part" and I should learn to give a person a benefit of a doubt...

You should have just told me why you didn't ship the part tell the 4th, and that would have been fine.....

Peace out....

Maybe it was premature, maybe it wasn't... I hope the best for you and for Keith, but it's going to take a lot of good transactions to make me consider buying through him again. That's just me though... Best regards, and best wishes to both of you... Maybe we can turn this around!

I have been following this thread curiously as I have been a buyer/seller on ebay for almost seven years.... there are some suggestions here and some very good ideas.

Roger has a good idea about escrow, however, escrow is already offered but, it is an option - rarely does anyone ever use it.

There was another suggestion that the buyer email current bidders on current auctions to warn them of this person's ethics - according to ebay, that is a violation of their policy - covered under "bidder interference".

I had that happen to me on two different occasions by an individual who was simply angry at me and was making false statements to my bidders - just to let you know, ebay does very little to enforce their own policies.

Usually it is simply better to try to resolve the problem via email and if that fails to resolve the issue, obtain the buyers/sellers personal contact information (any buyer or seller can obtain this through ebay if they are a party to an uncompleted transaction) and that will yield a phone number where a more personal level of contact may be initiated to resolve the transaction.

Also, there was a question of why use the USPS instead of UPS - it is basically personal preference of the seller - I use USPS Priority with a deliver confirmation - I always have a tracking number to provide for the buyer should a shipping problem arise. In almost 7 years I have never had a problem with USPS but UPS has had several instances of delivering to the wrong address, lost shipments, etc. and I stopped using them.

As for shipping/handling charges, everyone has their own method - as long as it is reasonable there should be no problem - of course, there are always those who are unreasonable. I once paid $20 for shipping for an item which was shipped from one state away. I received it and it was just placed in a box, taped up, addressed and sent (the actual postage was $4.85) - no packing materials, no nothing - as a result I paid $15.15 for a box! - but, most will either have a flat rate (I do that sometimes) and sometimes thay may make a few cents on the shipping and sometimes they lose a few cents (since there is no way of knowing where the winning bidder will reside before the auction convenes..) and sometimes I use actual shipping charges (I have a shipping rate calculator that is posted on the auction page for the buyer to compute the postage and I make a statement in the auction of any additional which will need to be added to the total, such as insurance, delivery confirmation, etc.

All in all, ebay is the largest and best auction site out there. There will always be some that will abuse any system but for the most part, ebay buyer and sellers are a pretty good bunc.

Just my $ .03 (add it to the shipping charges please... )

What I usually do for things on ebay is give the ideam a couple of weeks to ship because some times the post office is just slow. But if you do have problems with the seller not sending the goods then revoke payment. If you payed through credit card, most card companies will achully give you your money back. Pay Pal also has a similar policy. And also dont forget to contact ebay. At a last resort, it might be alot of work but take the person to court!

I hate ebay scams!

Personally, I don't think this is a scam. After I posted my thoughts, the seller e-mailed me and was very nice and seemed upset about some of the things that have been said about him on this forum. My advice to him was to take whatever steps it took and get his reputation back. I also told him that he is correct in that there are bandwagon jumpers on the forum from time to time, not saying that is the case in this thread... People do love to gang up and kick someone when they are down. I hope, and think, that he is going to do the right thing here. If he does, I hope that he will be given another chance on the forum. If it happens again, then I'd say chances used up...

I'm in the middle of something similar right now and although it has been a couple of months, the guy has started staying in touch and seems to be really trying to refund my money. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes things happen that are out of our control. Sure, we say that if we are just told the circumstances, we will understand. First, some people will say they are understanding and then slam you at the first given opportunity, so people are afraid to just tell.. Second, sometimes maybe the person is a little embarassed by their situation so they hide. Neither of these is the right thing.. but that is how life is sometimes...

I hope things work out well, if they dont, i THINK i'LL GO MAD...

I have been waiting for over a year for Keith to make good on his promises. Yeah I got the B.S. song and dance from him that he would make it right and then when I pushed him to take action he disappeared. Now after a year and people start emailing his ebay buyers I get an email from him out of the blue wanting to send me parts to make of for what he did not send me. Other people have gotten this offer from him too. Do not take him up on this proposal and stick to your guns. If you do what you will get are junk parts and he is off the hook. Demand your money back or what was originally promised nothing else. Don't think this guy feels bad that he took advantage of you because he doesn't. Good luck because you will need it.

Guns are always loaded with one in the barrel....

:-)

But....I'm going to give this a little bit more time.
I can get a hold of paypal or ebay at any time, but I will wait and see...

Last week I emailed Cader4.9 asking if shipping was included in the buy it now price for $20. The reply was..($21.50)nothing else said. I suspected it was Keith Sybliss and my suspicions were correct as he emailed me a couple of days later with this response after almost a year having passed.

Mike Murphy I have enjoyed antagonizing you over the last year but I hope we can make a mend.I noticed you made an inquiry about that light I have on the auction tell you what I will do to bury the hatchet I will give parts you need to complete your car until we think we are even the light you can have just hit buy it now to close the auction without me ending it early.Ihope we can work this out without it going on PFF....Keith

After I replied I wanted my money refunded or the heads as promised this is what I got...

Mike Murphy why did you send to inquire and try to make a deal last week with me over the passenger side marker light you wanted for $20 shipped and I told you $21.50 and you never replied? you are the one who started this **** you are like David Koresh start **** and get other people all involved .A month ago you you were also wanting to find my address ,you are so full of **** it is unbelievable go get a life and for get about me you soapbox lawyer ,fanatic advocate go play golf or fix your car better yet hug your wife and tell her you love her I will send Sean his money or another lens.Go ahead and publish this I bet you wont because the forum will know about your two face .

Sorry Keith don't ever dare me not to post your happy horseshit ramblings for all the world to see.

If anyone would care to see more of his responses just look in the archives in Fiero chat under (Keith Sybliss) also (Bluemagic) made mention once he was a power seller on ebay. I did a search under Bluemagic and Northstar32 they both got booted off of ebay. Lies Keith just lies. Have you ever told the truth? I'll bet your even an illegal alien....that's why the Florida Attorney General is having a hard time finding you! Time to call imigration? Can you say green card?

OMG! I don't know weather to laugh, or cry....
This reminds me of high school...

No offence to you guys, I just haven't seen a fight like this since then..

quote Originally posted by xsrage: $4.25 from $12.00 =$7.75 (for packaging, PLEASE!) Sandy [This message has been edited by cowans (edited 04-17-2003).]

I found myself, as a seller, in that position when I first started selling stuff on e-bay...

I found that places like "Postal Annex" will take your items, box them and ship them FOR you... All you need to do is drop them off with the address.

So, I get a quote on shipping, a little bit more than if I did it myself but not much... I pass that on to the buyer and he pays.

So I drop the stuff off at "Postal Annex" and low and behold... I get a $15 charge for the box and stuffies!!! Yes, PLUS shipping!!! I'm now paying $21 to ship a lens cover that was won for $11. Shipping was $5 BEFORE the "handling" charge. I couldn't believe it.

Needless to say, I ate the extra cost and have never had anyone box my stuff now. WAY to expensive.

Still, that may have been what happened with this other guy. Even buying a box from a place like that is like $8.00

It's insane.

Seanpaul: After my last post Keith sent me 2 emails neither of which I will post here due to the profanity and threats of violence he used which shows the type of person he is but he did say he would send your tail lamp. If he does... good at least you DID get something out of this dead beat seller compared to the rest of us. As long as he is out there preying on people I intend to put out a warning and share info with others. Oh and Keith when you read this which I know you will. Just remember revenge is a dish best served cold.

Keith - only one small problem here - I haven't gone away either.

For those of you who don't remember, Keith offered 88 Front wheel bearings and I bit for two - plus shipping. (Over 250.00, folks). All I have right now is a long trail of broken promises, and contrary to what Keith would have you believe, I have never been rude, insulting, threatening or otherwise unprofessional.

What I don't have is the wheelbearings, or my money. (Don't tell me about e-bearings - I'm on the list). Seems that Keith had no problems cashing the check, but now refuses to respond to email, and the phone number he provided was, ahem, disconnected. So I have little, if any, recourse and he knows that.

Whether Seanpaul got his taillamp, or anyone else got anything, one thing you can't refute Keith, is you've still ripped me off for the better part of 1 year.

Since it's been over 4 months since I last heard from you, where I summarize you said you would make good on the refund, your actions are telling a greater story than your words. I haven't moved, you still have my phone number and several valid email addys. I scan for viruii every week with the lastest software so you can't claim infected email.

Keith, YOUR THREATS and ALLEGATIONS ring hollow for this boy. You, frankly, have just perpetrated a fraud and I feel that you must need the money one hell of a lot more than I to have to live with yourself.

I know of others too that have complained on the wheel bearing scam. I also suspect he has changed his user ID on Ebay. Anyone heard of Redbone86? Saw a new posting of several items like Keith was selling by this party on 4-19-03 was a new user from Dade County. Anyone heard of this person? Saw it a couple of days ago. I have the Florida Attorney General's phone number and intend to inquire about filing suit from out of state. Not sure if multiple parties can sue on same filing but I intend to inquire. Anyone interested if so?

Hmmm. He picked the wrong state to do that in.... Florida has a department of law enforcement just for that. Here is a link you guys might like
http://www.fdle.state.fl.us/Fc3/

Thanks for the tip, however, if you go to the fraud section, it states:

"FDLE's investigative strategy regarding Internet fraud focuses on losses that are greater than $10,000 or if the target is located in Florida and has multiple complaints against them. Any complaint that does not meet these requirements will be kept on file for future reference." In other words, thanks for playing! NEXT!!!! lol

So unless we aggregate our complaints, and get the total over $10,000, its a nice thought. Looks good on paper, but the reality is the Nigerian Scam takes in thousands of dollars...

Hey guys...I'm sorry to hear about all of you're bad experiences with Keith. however I did receive my tail light today via USPS like he said.
I do appreciate this forum, and the exchange of information here. But I gave Keith my word that I would post when I receive my tail light.

It looks like it took it did get lost after all...I says it checked in the local office on 4-14-03 But when I asked the counter person why
it had not been delivered she said "I don't know, it's been here for a while." So looks like I did jump the gun after all...

Keith even went out of his way to buy me another taillight and it's on it's way also...

So I know some of you have had bad experiences, and I'm not sure if all my bitching and raising a fit is what got his attention,
but it seems like he is willing to make a mends with some of us...My advice to anyone is to bee nice, and see what happens!...

I'm not trying to parse the guy, I'm just letting everyone know, that I over reacted...

quote Originally posted by LateBloomFiero: For those of you who don't remember, Keith offered 88 Front wheel bearings and I bit for two - plus shipping. (Over 250.00, folks). .

I too was going to purchase a set from him. He would only take a money order or cash and no paypal.. I was a little worried about sending cash so I declined and now it looks ike I made the right move. His story about them being imported from PR and that he paid the import taxes on them also sent up red flags.

Although ebay offers both sellers and buyers the chance to get some rare or wanted item out to the rest of the planet, the fact that this kinda buisness isn't face to face will always be a pitfall cause a lot of times a seller may not know what the status is of a shipment or vise-versa(IE a lost shippment).

I just won some of these:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2411698422&ssPageName=ADME:B:BN:US:1

from northstar32@adelphia.net, and although I haven't seen them yet, he did give me shipping info this morning. I do not feel he is a scam or anything, maybe just busy, and who can blame em for that. I wish I was busy! But if you don't recieve somthing that you have one EMAIL THEM!!!! You will more than likely find out that the delay was something stupid like waiting for paypal to clear. I have sold stuff on ebay, and not gotten the stuff out the same day, so I would not expect anything I buy to be delivered to me via the Concord. I will let eveyone know if and when I get my spark plug shields. Maybe that will help a buyer with knowing that:northstar32@adelphia.net is not a fraud or anything.

Alrighty - Here we go

Seanpaul - How right you are - being nice does get you most places, however, sometimes not.

Here's my side of the story -briefly-. Keith can add or refute any part he feels like, and you'all be the judge.

My check clears 22 May 2002. Several emails, have you received check, when are you going to ship?, etc. On 19 June 2002 status inquiry - if you can't ship by end of next week, I need a refund

I receive a polite reply - If they aren't in by then, certainly.

Cut to January, as Keith stopped responding to emails, none that contained threatening, nor beligerent language, nor "virus laden", all business like and professional - he just stopped responding. And contacting him any other way? The phone No. he had provided is disconnected.

So In January a PFF post says here's several new email addys for Keith. So, nothing to lose, I send a polite message, like remember me?

Lo and behold, a response, 6 Jan 2003 quite promising, stating that he will refund my money, and appreciating that I "didn't get caught up in the circus".

See Seanpaul, the politeness did pay off, except now another 4 months have gone by and still no check. And he's stopped responding to emails. Again.

So glad you got your sub-$100 tail lamp, and all others get whatever Keith promises, but my experience has been distasteful. I don't know why, as Keith refuses to respond to me. Professionalism, nor politeness seem to work. So I'll try Seanpauls rant technique (just kidding)

Oh, yes I did send another email last week, based on Seanpauls correspondence and confirmation of his email addy. I stated that I was hopeful but disappointed. Polite? Yes, but the result? Goose egg.

If anyone else wants to take a chance with sending Mr. Sybliss anything of value, paypal, moneyorder, etc., don't let my experience stop you. You be the judge and weigh the risks vs. getting that treasured part from any other number of reputable people I've purchased from on this board. Me? It's worth another $5.00 to avoid (his words) the circus.

I agree! My episode is in the archives but briefly mine went the same way. Purchased set of 2.8 heads ported with performance valves etc. $221 check sent. Keith responds that check received will wait till it clears. About ten days go by heads will be shipped next week has to find a box sturdy enough. couple of more weeks go by no heads...been out of town to convention will ship asap. Then nothing no response to emails and phone has been disconnected. 2 months from sending check send letter threatening Postal Fraud claim. Keith then calls and tells me sorry for the delay was in motorcycle accident can't get out. I even felt bad and gave him 3 more months to heal and politely inquired a couple of times as to how he was feeling. Finally get heads in early May 5 months later in a box big enough to put an engine block in without any packing. Reach through hole in box already there by banging around pull out used head cleaned up with some fresh paint. No performance valve job with any enhancements what so ever. I email Keith and he blames shop will call them and then contact me. Claims shop switched heads and is filing suit in small claims will refund as soon as suit is settled. I grow suspscious call shop that he claimed did work they never heard of him before and there is no suit. Keith later wants me to return heads and then will give me refund. I refuse want refund before I pay to have heads shipped back. I ask for copy of court filing on suit.....no further reponses that was the last I heard from him almost a year ago. My last post on this thread drew this email from Keith:

"You are a freaking nut case and it amazes me that you don't have a life to enjoy instead of worring about me.Let me tell you this in a nice way I will not give you a dime back for any thing because I owe you nothing and you for one started this vendetta against me because of your dissatisfaction with your transaction in which I offered to work it out with you and you started to talk **** all over the place and others joined in giving all kind of false episodes and adding lies to the ongoing saga and I simply said screw them all because of you.You try to make life difficult for me but you are and will not be successful,I read the forum occasionally but choose not to participate in any more posting of non productive arguing with guys like you and a few more who just wait for a situation to start to jump on board to say" YES".
You try to make me look bad but at this stage how more bad can it get,

I got booted from ebay,
I changed my user name to "redbone",
My feedbacks are me buying only,
To all the above I just laugh as to how foolish you look and obsessed you are with me you make me feel like a rock star.

Mike get a life move on I will take care of whoever I have had a bungled transaction with and they will hear from me soon but at this point in time you are the least of my problem insignificant so to speak,If you tell another person not to support my auction there are millions all over the world with Fieros who will and that is just a part of my business and they pay for their purchases without squabbling over prices.
Your emails I see every now and then in my garbage section because I will not accept them upfront again fearing the last time when virus laden emails was being sent constantly so as you have noticed no profanity ,threats to you in this letter so just find other things to do with your life as I am doing with mine get your head checked out or your prostate instead of putting obstacles in my way that I am hurdling over."

Some of you have been lucky and got what you ordered. Others have not. Yeah I got screwed for a lousy $221 so I can better afford it than some of the less afluent people on this forum working and going to school. I know how hard it can be I was there once. That's why I speak out against people like Keith who are taking advantage of our natural trust. You had a good thing going Keith on this forum and you blew it buddy. You had our trust but obviously it means nothing to a person with your lack of morals. Hey I have a life with a great family and plenty of friends and I don't need to hassle you because I'm mad however I do intend to get my $221 worth of satisfaction warning others to beware. You want to redeeem yourself? Then it's time you made things right with all those you have taken to the cleaners. Only then will I say anything good about your character. Sorry I had to post this here but since you will not accept my emails, your phone is disconnected etc. then I'm posting here for you and the rest of the forum.

Have a nice day!

The best solution to prevent being taken on eBay is to pay through PayPal using a credit card. That way if you don't receive your package, just dispute the charge and that will get PayPal/eBay on your side very quickly. They just deduct it from the other guy's account! Seller doesn't take PayPal? I don't buy from them. It's as simple as that.

Well, This morning I had two emails from Keith....
First one was a scan in of the shipping invoice complete with tracking number.

The second was this"I sent the conformation # you asked for it was scanned up side down that is
all I have on your transaction if you don't receive it soon print the email
and contact your local post office there is nothing more I can do after it
is shipped...Thanks Keith."

So he did sent it, I just have not gotten it yet. Just as a note, the first time he gave me the tracking number, he screwed up on the last digit, so when I went to track it, I kept getting an error msg. when he sent me the scan, I saw the error, and sent him back this:THERES THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!
In your email msg the first time around the last digit of the delivery confimation number is "0", but on the scan you just sent to me, it was "8"
What the hell is wrong with you!!!!! j/k

Thanks for sending the scan, that helped out a bunch...
Have a good day...."

Now like I said , he providied me with all this, he has been emailing me, and he didn't have to send me a scan in of the shipping invoice. Although I don't have the parts yet, he did provide proof he sent the stuff out. My opinion is that he is not a rip off artist, but maybe a little un organized_ if thats the right term...really all he did was screw up the last digit on a tracking number. Just remember this "Buyer beware".
I don't know if I would order off him again. I don't think so, mostly because of the wrong track# and the negitve responces he has had. Maybe if he cleaned up his act a little, and didn't attack eveyone who had a bad experiance with him....Even though you can't please everyone, taking the offensive to such an extreme puts a bad taste in eveyones mouth who reads and could of potentially bought from him...
