NACS Auctions On Ebay

[salukixr4ti]

Well, I'm one of the guys that got taken by Daz, and Ebay still has his listings after having been notified of what's happened - so I took action on my own. I just bought all his auctions out to the sum of $13,000 and change. I'd be more than happy to deal with him personally for collection. I'm perfectly happy to sacrifice my 100% feedback to screw with this prick. Seems it is the only way to get Ebays attention.

LOL... This could be entertaining.

It seems a rather elaborate way to rip some people off, but I'm starting to wonder if this whole NACS thing wasn't intended to be a scam from day one. I mean, does anyone know the last name of Daz? What kind of first name is Daz even? Sure makes it easier to disappear if nobody knows who you are, right?

Chris- I'm gonna bet that you get no response to the non-payment of your "purchase". It'll be interesting to see if another batch of items are listed up now, indicating that he's still lurking in the shadows.

[salukixr4ti]

Yes Brad, I figured it to be a three-fold victory. The auctions are ended and payment is expected. I'm not paying. Second, hopefully preventing further scamming of others overseas, who would be unaware of what's happening. Finally, my person satisfaction. I've also got family in Canada, that are well placed in the government to make inquiries. I tend to feel vindictive when people get screwed, and make it my mission to do anything possible to right it.

Attempt to communicate with him through eBay regarding payment or shipping, whatever. When he fails to respond dispute the sales.
If he does respond, send some sort communication via USPS; then he'll be committing mail fraud, and they love going after that.
If he does respond notify the local (BC) authorities as they'd probably be interested in what he's selling if his business has been shuttered for collections.

The FBI is already involved due to mail fraud. Their backlog and interfacing with the CDN autorities? Blood from a stone.

Try and try hard, but this guy will not be giving anyone money. The only way you'll see money is if they seize assets and then you have to join the long line of people who want it divided %100 with %100 return. Ugliness.

[salukixr4ti]

Very nice car Jason & I agree. I'd be stunned to recoop any money. I'm just being as vindictive as possible from a disadvantaged position. FWIW, I have the bumper, just never got the urethane splitter as promised. I'd sell the bumper to anyone in the opposite situation in a minute. It's junk in my opinion.

Even funnier.... he can't mess up your feedback rating, as eBay recently changed their feedback system. Sellers CANNOT leave negative feedback for a buyer, only positive or nothing at all. So, you're clear on that point. (Finally something useful from this rule change, which up until now, i hated)

Good plan to remove the auctions... Nobody's boing to come after you, or mess up your feedback.Gone, unless the seller had the items re-list automatically.
Ebay is not going to pull items, they need every listing they can get, real or otherwise, for the sake of appearances. The shareholders are pissed, to say the least, about the sellers leaving Ebay in droves. There are THOUSANDS of fake listings on Ebay... The "management" have really screwed themselves with the new rules. Marketing 101, anybody?
The # of listings on Ebay are down dramatically, as Ebay tanks.
Try a simple search, like XR4Ti. Time was, there would consistently be 110-140 items. Lately, the # remains about the same, but the display, and item count, INCLUDES the items in the Ebay stores, going back 30 days. Tricky, huh?

[salukixr4ti]

Yes, I knew about the feedback being one sided now. I figured it's a no lose situation. My money is gone, but I want no one else getting taken. If as mentioned by another member on the "other" forum, the shop were to re-open after all debts were settled, I'd be up there in a heartbeat to personally settle my collection.

Pure brilliance.

[salukixr4ti]

I just wonder how far ebay will go to collect on all those auction fees he just incurred?

Where are the sellers going? I have about 10,000 brand new model kits to sell (high quality, not Lionel. Its my Uncles estate).

Perhaps there were some previous eBay transactions gone bad that have finally caught up and triangulated with your recent large "purchase". What was his ID? YB-something?
