Member or Item being reported: turbostuff09

Message: This user changes his name whenever a number of people get hip to his act- his last name was turbozone4u.  He preys upon the turbo grafx community (fans of an older video game system)- in the past he has stalked auctions and lately he pulls names from sellers' feedback and then sends e-mails saying he has anything you need and asking to do deals outside of EBay.  His Ebay feedback is 100%- which is how he entices others into dealing with him outside of EBay- to which he then stalls as long as he can with the item- says he sends it (never does) and tries to stall until it's too late to report it to a credit card company.  PLEASE check out this thread from our gaming community forum- where members are coming out of the woodwork- all with the same stories about this guy.  https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=6906.0

It's a good thing I've never seen this guy around...he'd be up shit creek without a paddle because I'd take him to the cleaners. I know way too many people up north who wouldn't mind hopping in a few vans for a classic beatdown with baseball bats.

Awesome Sin! 

I'm hitting up a complaint tonight, or maybe today at lunch.

Well, after messing around on the Canadian ebay site I went to eBay.com and finally was able to get a complaint through:

Hello,

I'm unfortunately having to report a member of eBay. I was contacted by another Canadian member in March, 2009 who offered to sell an item(s) outside of eBay, and I was stupid enough to accept. Needless to say the items never arrived and later found out that I haven't been the first person who has been misled by this eBay member. He apparently stalks auctions and then emails bidders with offers to sell items outside of eBay in order to avoid fees.

This member has apparently gone under several name changes. At the time of my transaction his account name was "turbozone4u" and has since changed his name to "turbostuff09".

I, of course, do not expect any financial support from eBay as this transaction was handled outside of eBay. However, I do feel that as an eBay member I need to report this seller. He is taking advantage of not only other eBay members, but also of the rules and policies of this site.

I've put a warning about this dumbass in my current auction on eBay. I hope my addendum isn't against eBay policy, but I've read it over and it doesn't seem to be in violation of their rules.

Where exactly are you emailing your complaints? What link are you using? I want to make sure we are all going to the same place.

Go to Ebay- then go to "contact us" and then type in a new question/problem and it will bring you to where you can go into detail.

Rover- that was an excellent idea.
