The link you posted says (in red) "No longer a registered user", and his items for sale is empty. Someone heard you.

Yes, but he is still able to use his new username, and can still scam more sellers.

The new ID he is using (fralaroc-48) has been in use since 30 Jun 2019. He probably created the new ID BEFORE he was NARU'd on the old one. Just another one of ebay's shortcomings that allows wayward Buyers to get around bidder blocks and suspensions. |

Hello everyone, I felt compelled to signup for this website just to post an update... this snake just scammed me I have been going back and forth with him and ebay and he has changed his login again. New login Espacec (152) Espace Collection 693 Notre-Dame Ouest Victoriaville, QC G6P 1T3 Canada Be aware of this snake who ebay sides with each time... this snake is probably also selling the stuff he has stealing from faithful reputable sellers! |

Thanks for that. If you have the scammer's ebay username in your ebay blocked bidder's list, it will update automatically each time he changes his username... |

ebay is surely aware that buyers can fraudulently claim that a package never arrived. Does anyone know their thoughts on this issue? Why they have chosen this route? Somewhere in the company, somebody sat down and wrote a policy, with reasons. I used to work for the government. Policies are set by a few people getting together and making decisions.

Write a well worded, factual and straight forward complaint to the BBB in the USA. I did this to PayPal after a buyer tried this with me, ebay denied, denied, denied, paypal denied, denied, denied, etc... wrote on BBB website received a callback a few days later, got it covered. This seems like a good reason to write up on ebay and/or paypal, maybe one or both of these groups would care after it is publicly posted on something like the BBB. |

That is why we only ship tracked Now . 99.99 % eradicates the vermin , disguised as a buyer! Back in the day we used to get an " I did not receive my item " at least once a week. I hate to say it , almost all of our issues were with buyers in Canada . Having been with Canada Post for 22 years and knowing how the system works , we were being scammed and ebay did nothing but back up the buyer ! The penalties for mail fraud in Canada are pretty weak and virtually never enforced . This is unlike the US where mail fraud is pretty heavy duty stuff! |

I'm not saying that everyone is up front, but I've had issues with mail lately (must be because of Covid) but in several instances, I had mail not show up until I filed a claim. Even Gidjit's package to me got lost (until I filed a missing mail claim
), so it could be possible

Canada Post delivery rate of mail is almost always reliable. I got burned once, by a buyer only 40 km away. So since I had their address, I showed up there with a handful of my more "interesting" motorcycle buddies... He admitted to receiving the package, and I got my money back. I then had a RCMP friend follow up with an email to that buyer... probably scared him straight... Stuff I find at face value (minor varieties, errors or low value stuff), I send as letterpost to well established ebay members (yes, I check feedback first). But now, absolutely anything coined in silver, I automatically ensure the shipping has tracking. Often, I'll have a buyer that will buy like 4-5 things at once. I'll often upgrade the parcel to expedited shipping (at my own cost) - everyone likes a buyer who goes shopping and buys several pieces... I do realize that new buyers will buy stuff (we were all there someday) - so sometimes when I have a new buyer (20 feedback or less), I'll upgrade the package to expedited (VentureOne Membership with Canada Post helps), 19 times out of 20, it is not necessary, but as long as the extra costs don't exceed the potential loss, I am ok with it.
