Need help please fraudulent ebay seller / member, by megaelch on Sept 29, 2007 10:43:58 GMT 1, Hey friends need your help please ....
I did buy from Paul Griffiths ( ebay name 1313bd ) two matt small prints in early august . We made a deal out of ebay and he promised to send the prints in early august , which did not happen. i was on vacation and he promised to send early september again .. no prints and he is not answering any mails or contacts through ebay, but still selling prints.
He seems to be in good standing as a seller and as far as i remember he had references on this board as well. He seems to be associated with Black Rat Press in some way and might be known by board members ...
So if you can contact him, please help me ..
Otherwise what can i do .. do i need to contact the police ? Will be in London next weekend so this would be an option .. where do i need to go 
please send a PM or post here if you can help a fellow collector from germany

If he sent them to Germany then he should have sent them recorded which means you're covered. Let us know. Do you know his address? Where in London is it?

Need help please fraudulent ebay seller / member, by corblimeylimey on Sept 29, 2007 17:19:48 GMT 1, I've bought a Blek Le Rat - Last Tango from him, paid via Paypal, had no problems at all.
I remember Mike Snell (BRP) saying that this ebay seller was an old friend/guy that got him started in this business and he has vouched for him and is obviously doing direct business with him too.
I hope it's just some sort of communication problem or misunderstanding.

If anyone would know the legalities/what to do, it should be them. Most banks have a fraud/legal department and will help their customers.
Hopefully like corblimey said it's a just a communication issue. If it's a high dollar item you might want to go thru an online escrow company next time.

I know him well and will call him. I have heard on the grapevine he has broken hix cocyx (no idea how to spell that) and is bedridden. He bought some horses from travellers and decided to break them in himself whilst not knowing much about horses and they didn't like it. He is usually v reliable. He is bedridden and I suspect someone else is helping him put things on ebay but is not dealing with emails/communication.
I am sure this can be concluded satisfactorily.
