eolson78 - reconciled
« on: December 10, 2005, 02:24:16 PM »
This is a new seller on here and has posted a few rare balls on here recently (i,e., Turbo X, Hammers, Helix). I wanted to buy the Helix and he agreed that I could send half up front, and send the rest upon receipt. I sent out the MO a few days ago, and not far, so it should've arrived by now. I wrote to ask, and no reply for 2 days. Now this is his first deal and it hasn't been too long, but still, being a new seller, he needs to maintain communication on here and if you were thinking of buying from him, you may wanna hold off for now.

Yeah, so he said he shipped the ball parcel post, so no proof of shipment, and if something happens, no insurance, so this deal is all wrong. I just hope i see the ball, because i do have the info I need if I don't.

UPDATE_______________________
He wrote me today and let me know it was his brother using his SN on here. He refunded my $40 and did it very, very quickly through Western Union. Was very courteous and will not hold this against him.

It's done as far as I am concerned.  I am NO longer selling/trading anything on BR.  I'd rather give away my equipment.  Case closed.





I still feel strongly that some of the problem stems from people doing deals where the profile box reads as:
Profile
eolson78 has not entered a profile


Close Window


It seems that the problem children tend to be the ones that can't be bothered to offer up a profile and rarely offer much in the non-trade/sale forums.

I am guilty of not setting up a profile (:  And I have been a member for years.

I also sent a money order to Eric for a ball.  I talked with him a couple of times through BR's messaging and he has always responded to my messages in one or two days.  No I haven't got my ball yet and he did say he shipped it.  Eric use to be a BR member a couple of years ago but has changed names and I can't remember his last BR member name.


When I get my ball I will let you know.  I hope I get my ball soon but USPS and Christmas with a heavy object like a bowling ball is not a good mixture.

If this is the guy you're talking about, me and Slopsurprise live less than 45 minutes from this DOUCHE BAG.

If you guys don't recieve your equipment, let us know. We'll make sure he never picks up a bowling ball again.

Good luck.

He will not respond to me. I have tried to contact him on this site and by email. No reply on either. Like I said paid with paypal on the 5th.

not looking like any of us are gonna see anything, so i guess all we can do is hope that USPS is taking a very very long time. if not, looks like we are out, but Brooklyn...i'd be glad to take you up on that offer!!! lol

To All,
Like Nicanor said, I have no profile I believe
either and I am one of the oldest members on BR
I believe. Me and Nicanor have done business like
I have done with many of you. A false profile will
not stop this bull from happening. We got taken by
Beach Bowler and I'm not happy about it, 210.00
gone and I will never get the money or refund. In
that deal the person who said they got there equipment
from Beach Bowler we messaged for there Tracking #.
No reply, so it was him more or less with probably
a duel BR name setting up his scam. It's a shame
it's hard too trust BR members, I remember the days
when you never had too worry but there long gone!
The BR member your talking about is the same person
bidding on NIB Old Classic's on Ebay and winning a
few. I only hope it's not with your money and good
luck too all, we hope you get your equipment!
Thanks MadMax

i agree, axeweldr, one of my regualr dealers on here, doesn't have a profile and i have made many good deals with him. and heck JeffSenior made a profile and look at what happened there. the only way to handle this is to only deal with well-tristed people on here, which i may consider doing. not fair to the new guys, but they can establish their feedback with someone else.

i have not heard anything in weeks but i do plan to contact the manassas police dept on this issue, they have connections to an internet fraud dept that deals with robberies over the internet.

assuming the address posted is correct eric will not be a happy person in the near future.

i will offer eric a chance to send the money back via paypal unless he wants this on his record.

i dont know what else to do.

The Pizz,

That address is the address that I mailed my money order to.  Guess what?  I haven't received my bowling ball that was shipped supposingly over 40 days ago.  I know USPS is slow during the Christmas Holiday system, but I was hoping that at least one person received there bowling ball from Eric.

5th??? he told me the 2th of Nov...no USPS backlog could make a msitake that big, so i highly doubt that anyone got the balls, not to mention, he bought a Helix on ebay, which is what i bought, he also bought some wolfs, hammers, and turbos...other balls on his list. he put up his want list and sold it to us to help him buy them for himself, so...

pizz, let me know the number to the police HQ where i need to call. thanks.

I have sent each person that I believe has done a transaction with my user name a message. The short and sweet part of this is that I allowed my brother to use my account here at ebay and paypal to buy and sell some things while I was gone. It appears that this got out of control and now my good name is ruined here. I fully intened to provide anyone that bought anything a full refund via western union today. If you did not receive a message from me and you did a transaciton with this account please PM me and we will square it away. I apologize to all affected and the entire ball reviews community that this has happened. Please accept my apology.

I like it when a young man responds the way he did above.  I hope all turns out well and each person gets the bowling ball they wanted.
