RECEIVED EMPTY TUBE FROM "OptimusPrim80", by James Smith 77 on Feb 3, 2008 20:34:47 GMT 1,
I won the following BIN Banksy Stop & Search auction on December 19. I received the tube yesterday...BUT...IT WAS FREAKIN EMPTY. This guy "OPTIMUSPRIM80" is a complete scam. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH. I opened up a paypal complaint after day 30 (I had a feeling somthing was up). And a fraud complaint last night after i opened up the tube. Unfortunately, it will come down to my word vs. his. Something last night told me to open the tube in the lobby of my building though. SO...I have me opening an untampered with tube on video as my proof. I am filing a police report tomorrow. And I'm planning to do whatever necessary to bring this total Ass to justice. As of this moment I have lost $3000.

Maybe he just posted the wrong tube and stop and search is still in his hallway? Just being devils advocate but it could all be a genuine mistake.

RECEIVED EMPTY TUBE FROM "OptimusPrim80", by butterfly on Feb 3, 2008 22:44:20 GMT 1, Hi
Sorry to hear that James. Looking at the seller name, it just reminded me of a bad experience I had last summer when buying an Obey print.
I never recieved it and had several email conversations with the seller to be patient, which I naively did, until I realised that my deadline for escalating a plaint was too late, and of course the seller disappeared. 
Sent you a PM with the seller contact details.
Good Luck!

As above i have spent a while looking through this guys feedback, email him, this could maybe just be a terrible mistake, he is regulary selling and buying prints at 4-5 hundred quid! Fingers crossed for you mate. dyl4n

I am talking about the same seller.
He was supposably going to reimburse me for my prints not turning up, hence my delay in posting the feedback on ebay, then he disappeared and I could not put anything on ebay anymore.
I guess he is only doing this to overseas buyers.

$3000 you could hire someone to whack him - not saying you should but you could

RECEIVED EMPTY TUBE FROM "OptimusPrim80", by guest2 on Feb 4, 2008 8:51:00 GMT 1, it seems strange that he also refused 3000 dollars and 3100 dollars for the print but excepted 3300. You'd think he'd have taken the money and run at the 1st sensible offer if he had no intention of posting. And then why bother to send anything at all?
But going buy butterflys comments, he seems to have done this before. Can't you ask ebay for his contact details? Don't give up hope just yet, good luck.

I would also get in touch with the postman/delivery firm, so they are aware that the tube was delivered empty, just in case, there could have been tampering. You may be able to make a claim there if you find out that the tubing has been tampered with.

RECEIVED EMPTY TUBE FROM "OptimusPrim80", by snakes on Feb 4, 2008 9:10:48 GMT 1, As a seller always weigh your tube empty and then weigh it with the print in.
The weight at the post office should obviously match the latter so if you do have a case of the above scenario (although the other way around) you have at least something to argue to, as knowing what UK postmen's reputation is like it's quite likely they could have pinched it in transit!

You do this by going to advaced search, then clicking left tab find contact information and follow online instructions. You should be able to get his phone number. Note you can only get details if you won the item which you obviously did and have his ebay name and item number. Good luck.

By threatening I mean letting him know you will be filing charges against him with his local police department, FBI for internet mail fraud and or whatever else you can think up. This worked for me in a similar situation and I got my print a couple days later.
