Wow. I've been trying to post a reply to the eBay discussion forum about Larry Rosselli of LRCards.com, who ripped me off in the range of $455. I added my response to a thread on the eBay discussion forums (which, you'll notice, no longer exists), where someone had posted about him doing the same to them.
Within minutes, my response was deleted and I got a message from the eBay Moderation Team about how I was making the community less happy or something. So I removed the words "illegal activity" and "fraud" from my response and re-posted. Within seconds, I got a message that the eMB Team deleted it for a similar reason. Finally, I posted this:
Expecting another speedy deletion, I instead discovered that the entire thread has been deleted.
I'm not a big conspiracy buff, so I assume Larry Rosselli of LRCards.com is not on the eBM Team. This means that eBay is so desperate to ensure that no one knows actual fraud and theft occurs on their site that they would rather silence their customers from informing one another than actually fix the problem.
Please spread the word far and wide about how eBay is hiding the truth about fraud on their site. I wonder how much this happens if they so speedily hide the truth.
EDIT: I just posteda new thread; let's see how long it remains!
EDIT 2: I just postedanother new thread; let's see how long it remains! It was deleted because I included ".com" in "lrcards.com," so I've fixed that....
EDIT 3: I just posted yet another new thread; let's see how long it remains! They gave no real reason this time for deletion, only repeating the website language. Tell me if you see a website in this message:

I was also taken by Larry Rosselli of lrcards.com. He had an auction on eBay for a case of cards ($455.00), I paid through PayPal using my credit card (thank goodness), and he replied a couple of weeks later that the cards didn't ship.
I asked for clarification, got none until writing a few more times, when he sent a form reply email about his business going out of business.
This means he listed a case of cards for sale that he did not possess.
To eBay Moderation Team: STOP DELETING THIS FACTUAL POST! I'M SAYING NOTHING HERE THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.

Larry Rosselli (eBay user account lrcards) has gone out of business.
My experience (transaction verifiable on eBay):
He had an auction on eBay for a case of cards ($455.00), I paid through PayPal using my credit card (thank goodness), and he replied a couple of weeks later that the cards didn't ship.

How many others are out big cash?

I went to his site right away and saw that note. I think it's more lies, as he didn't even make the effort to refund or send product.

When eBay NARU'd his account for whatever reason Paypal would have also frozen his Paypal account AND put a big hold on his "real world" Paypal-registered bank account to cover outstanding unfulfilled auctions. Once that happened, even if he were alive and had the goods he wouldn't ship them, because his odds of being paid anytime soon would be nil.

But yah, I know what you're saying. I'm in a tangle right now with a regular seller that eBay squashed for offering a buy one/get one free day.

Re: Ebayed
Their answer on shipping is "just add the extra cost to your base price!" Meaning, quietly pass the increase on to the buyer and make your material less saleable. Of course, they get a cut of the base price but not of ordinary shipping, so that means they're knicking the buyer a good bit as well. I've taken to selling my top-end material directly to specialty dealers. Less hassle, same or better money.

It's time for a real alternative to eBay. Someone needs to create a Craigslist-type free site that has the safety features of eBay, perhaps ad supported....

He had a really great rating. I even bought from him before. Then, I suspect, he was affected by the economic downturn and decided to just take in as much as he could before declaring bankruptcy.

Filed a complaint with PayPal, and yesterday filed with my credit card. Hope to get my refund soon. *sigh*
