Funny, I've had all three of those happen to me in the last year, yet have not ripped off a single person.

Think before you type.

SO have I, and I delivered the items people bought with only a day or two delay not a month. Have you ever bought anything from him? How do you know he's sequare? You don't. This board has new threads every week about another fraud who promised much an delivered nothing. Unless someone has a solid track recored you should suspect everyone...everyone.

Even if this is true it isn't a license to steal peoples money. He says he will reply to email, he doesn't. he says he'll give you his phone number to call, he hasn't. He dropped off the forum and doesn't answer any communications and he's got everyones money.

That just makes me think even more that something bad may have happened to him.

I hope everything is okay with the guy, but people do have the right to protect themselves against being ripped off.

Oh, I agree. I'm not just a bystander in this. We have ongoing dealings. I can understand those who don't feel like taking the risk and wait.

I really hope he finds his way back here and sets things straight. It may even help take the mind off things. I don't know. I've never experienced something like this, so I don't know what to expect. Just hope he's all right and that he has good friends and family helping him getting back on his feet.

Paypal just refunded my money. I'd rather have what was "sold" to me but I'm happy. Don't let the time run out guys.

Eli's Last Activity was yesterday 09:39 PM, so he did (or at least his account) did check the Rpf.



This story is awful, and I really wish him the best. That would certainly mess anyone up. My thoughts and prayers for the Eli's friend, and for Eli.

Yes but you shouldn't just assume and announce you've been scammed or ripped off.

Let down and disappointed maybe. Heck the guy even got his money back. So in fact he was not scammed at all.

Innocent until proven guilty used to be important, lately it's been ignored.

Can you shoot me statistics that support your claim to these top three? I'd love to see them.

I have bought from Eli and conversed with him via PM in the past; from my end he was very friendly, and extremely fast with shipping/responses.

If you read this, I hope you're starting to feel better Eli, and am so very sorry to hear of this happening. I'll keep sending prayers and thoughts your way.

Re: If you have had any business with myself, Eli... please read.

I sent a couple PM to him in the last month but no response. I seen him online a few minutes ago.

I hope he is ok.

I bought from him some props never received, one of these I bought many time ago (Pirates of Caribbean Aztec Coin from Master Replica). A also buy from him a plastic tube from NT but nothing....

I really wish he is ok, but if his last activity was a few minutes ago why I don't have any response to my PM?

I hope Eli is ok and that you get your stuff Sarednab.

Re: If you have had any business with myself, Eli... please read.

Becoming very unsure about Eli, I'm sorry to say.. I've contacted him a few times about my items and am still waiting.. I opened a Paypal dispute and he didn't respond to it.. I esculated it and he has a couple of days left to respond with no sign of responding.. Last time I heard from him he said that my package was in customs cause they couldn't read his writing and said I will have it in a few days, that was 10 - 11 days ago.. I'm actually still waiting for the National Treasure tube which was the first thing I got from RPF, when I first joined.. That was 6 months ago.. So still waiting for my Tube, and Goonies Wallet and Newspaper..

I didn't want to say anything, due to the circumstances, but I just went through this with Coffee Addict, and gave benefit of the doubt, which cost me.. Anyone else still waiting?? Especially seeing he has been on the boards, even yesterday, but hasn't posted..

Re: If you have had any business with myself, Eli... please read.

I can vouch for Eli! He has sent me two items in the past before this scenario and was very good on his delivery. If he is online he may be having a friend check the status of his accounts for him. He did mention he had a friend that was following up on orders for him.

And I have two boxes with his writing on them. His handwriting is very neat and legible.

 

[Beechy McFly]

Re: If you have had any business with myself, Eli... please read.

I truly hope he is doing well.. I am hoping to see the package, he was nice enough to say that he would resend the tube, as I didn't receive it, not sure if it was sent back or something.. He mentioned that a friend was sending packages.. Just that I, and Paypal have been waiting for a response and I noticed he had popped in here, but hadn't heard from him.. That's why I was wondering if anyone else was still waiting for items.. I know members have gotten the Tube from him, so know he is reliable, just starting to get concerned..

Just in case guys, I think this is his Ebay sales:

jcharlie7 items - Get great deals on Entertainment Memorabilia, Collectibles items on eBay.com!

 

[Sarednab]

Re: If you have had any business with myself, Eli... please read.

I bought some items from jcharlie7... I never received my items and he promised me a refund. I bought these item on April and still not seen item or money...

These 2 trasnaction (the_eli and jcharlie7) was the only 2 transaction that I have problems in 8 years...

Re: If you have had any business with myself, Eli... please read.

Yeah.. Very sus, IMO.. I won my dispute over it.. He never even replied to my bunch of emails nor pms.. He didn't even respond to Paypal about the dispute.. And actually got an email off him a few hours ago.. Here is part of the email:

Your tube and another one that had the silence dogood letters came back to me from customs with a warning. haha

I had sent out a hellboy samaritan and the buyer asked me to submit the value at 50 and so I did and than customs requested the original invoice and found out it was for more. I really didn't think much of it.

He also said if I still wanted it I can pay again etc, but I'm not going to risk it.. I still never even received my tube from January / February.. Bridge burnt..

Yeah, if you got your money back keep it! Sounds like a shady, thin excuse.
