I'll drop a specific name--because this guy has screwed me over on more than one occasion and I feel I should warn people about him:
Brian Ritchie of Batavia, Ohio.
Never, ever, EVER EVER EVER sell anything to this guy.
Tried to rip me off for 400 bucks once on a set of NECA Terminator figures. Shipped them in a timely manner, they were delivered within two days, on day three, I get an item not received strike and they're holding my money. I provided tracking to eBay, along with a picture of the USPS receipt, so they cancelled the case in my favor. He opened ANOTHER case, this time for item not complete or missing items.
They hold 400 bucks from me AGAIN.
Long story short, I forgot to get signature confirmation on it, and he took full advantage of that. He was even dumb enough to actually say to me in a message where we went back and forth, "Guess you should have gotten that signature confirmation and extra insurance on this, huh?"
He got the items. He was just pulling a fast one, or so he thought.
So, I called eBay and told them to look at the exchange of messages, and what he said (by the by, I used to work at eBay...they can see EVERYTHING you do on there)...
That was enough to get eBay to side with me and make it so he couldn't try to open a case against me again, but trust me...it was an unneeded stressor.
Previous to that, he also tried to get me to hold on to my full set of DC Universe Classics (so, we are talking 2009, 2010)...because he was getting money from a trust fund, and needed time for it to deposit. Even offered to pay more if I just held it for him. Mind you, I'm using the funds to pay for our wedding.
After 2 months, I tell him I can't hold it any longer, as my wedding is fast approaching and we are paying for this thing fully ourselves, so I gotta sell the lot. He asks me to send him the stuff and he'll pay me when the money comes in which should be that week.
You really think I'm that stupid, Brian. I tell him that I don't think he has the money and that I can't wait on him any longer. Let's just say his email responses were ridiculous. He's a clearly VERY uneducated individual, and thinks he's smarter thab he is, but he's a sheister above all else.
Why did I sell those Terminator figures to him years later, you ask? Forgot it was him, to be honest. Didn't realize until I was at the post office, filling out the name tag. Figured screw it, he already paid.
But alas, lessons learned. So ..yeah, you ever see that name, cancel IMMEDIATELY.
