Scam or not (Fastelectricpowerboats)

[protoo]

Hello,

I start a thread to talk about the seller (fasteletricpowerboats).
He has marked my items shipped. So we must speak up if someone receives it
that is ordered.

We do not know 100% sure whether this is fraud.

If fastelectripowerboat will write here, so answers to these questions:
- Why was eBay account closed?
- Which mail service was used since there is no tracking?


Dont send him threats, give him a chance to explain.....

Regards.

As said he's had plenty of opportunity to explain himself and people have there options to raise claims with either paypal or ebay and if they are concerned that a criminal offense has taken place they are able to raise the issue to police to investigate it and establish the facts.

I received an email from paypal. A bit perplexed as the guy has escalated the dispute I opened... Attack is the best form of defense? Not sure what this means.

I agree protoo, keep things civil or no doubt the thread will be closed; and that would be self defeating, this is currently our only route to getting information. I would like to know if/when people start getting their hard-earned returned to them by paypal (or goods delivered, but won't be holding my breath on that one. Hope I am proved wrong. Incidently there is a thread on a Polish forum about fastelectricpowerboats, if i understand the translation it seems they were also promised free shipping to Poland!)

I think it is wrong to threaten a person in the manner that has been done. Give this person a chance. No one knows why eBay account was closed. And people attacked him before he got the chance to explain himself.

My items were sent to 17 January, and there is no reason for concern yet. Delivery time has not yet been reached. And you're guaranteed a refund if the package does not come when you have used paypal.

Be patient, give the guy a chance. Could be many reasons why eBay account was closed.

If this is a genuine seller and all buyers receive their goods, PAY FOR THEM! Then we have a unique seller to buy RC products from with good prices.

See example here: [URL="http://reviews.ebay.com/NARU-facts-Not-a-registered-user?ugid=10000000001895329"]eBay Guides - NARU facts Not a registered user[/URL]

1. [B]First of all, do NOT immediately make judgements about people who are NARU. There are many reasons people become NARU. Reasons include non-payment of fees, violations of Ebay rules and policies and refusal to follow through on transactions with buyers and sellers. Some people may temporarily be NARU and have an otherwise good record and this will be a glitch. So be professional but try not to get angry or judgmental. It won't help things; it may hurt them.

who's threatened him?

BTW When I log into paypal it says the seller has responded with shipping information - but both the tracking number and shipping number are blank.

Click View dispute comments on the same page. Then you have a message from him:

Seller: Ebay closed my account mid auction and understandably caused the bidders to think that my auctions were some kind of scam and immediately started to claim the item cost back from Paypal. On further investigation I found that an RC HELI site had PUBLIC POSTINGS! Containing VERY PERSONAL information regarding myself & my Family including my wife's mobile telephone number on which she has been receiving some VERY NASTY & VERY THREATENING messages & calls. The site also threatens to get a lynch mob to call at my home & that my car will be smashed up! My wife is very frightened & refuses to answer the door if someone calls and fears for our 2 young children. [web address beloe] [url]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/off-topic/71187-looks-like-i-have-just-been-scammed-ebay.html[/url] This forum thread was started only a day after my Ebay account closure and there is much talk of getting their money back from Paypal. Other online forums are also talking about my auctions and advising its members to claim their money from Paypal & KEEP! The item[s] when they arrive. The terms of my listing were NO RETURNS! And allow 10-15 days for shipping yet ALL the charge backs that have been made to date have given me little time to pack & ship many items & some were even opened a few hours after the auction ended? I HAVE NOW BECOME THE VICTIM OF A RADIO CONTROL FORUM INTERNET CHARGE BACK SCAM!! I have ALWAYS! Shipped my items and have a 5 star rating on my EXCELLENT FEEDBACK!

[stefano934]

Yes, if you believe him. Have you read through all the thread? Can you point out the post where someone threatened to smash up his car?!?

He created the 'internet charge back scam' idea in his own post - this seems to be his defense on paypal and annoyingly there is now no way for me to respond to his exaggerated/false claims. The one post I was able to make on paypal was polite and his post looks like I had some part in his claims of harassment - very annoying.

Another false claim is that there were NO RETURNS. The item I bid on said Returns Accepted.

another thread that needs closing!


bugger off back to ebay and paypal sort your problems there! This guy may well be a scammer but then again maybe he's not. His wife is now frightened to open doors his kids are frightened,all because some **** on here thought it was smart and clever to post up his personal details/car registration/wifes phone number etc etc.

now more newbies join just to chip and whinge! If you got ripped off on here then moan if not do one!:(

Ron i'll close this thread I assumed my reply post was enough to hint that its not worth talking much over.

However - I would say from what haven't seen any lynch mob mentality more a great deal of frustration that the chap appear to be hiding behing the net rather then resolving the issue of supplying the goods.

Another reason for why they are coming here is simple that if you have no way to contact a person the first thing you do is search them on the web and because this forum is crawled every day by google its on the first page of google.

[URL]https://www.google.com/#q=Fastelectricpowerboats&hl=en&prmd=imvns&ei=8IkcT6qWMMjLswaPy7FI&start=0&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=849a050b1a53fcb8&biw=1280&bih=899[/URL]

So its no surprise they are coming here and I can't say genuinely no to entry as they aren't spamming they are looking for help and any news on what is going on considering he's already posted on here attempting to defend himself yet hasn't seemingly made any effort to resolve it yet.

I sincerely hope that he's not a scammer and I hope that everyone gets what they bought some are long term members of here too.
