Just been ripped off...NOT! He came through! Now this kitty has claws! ;)

[Cree]

Hey Peeps,
Couple days ago I saw this sweet deal for a couple of Wolverine X1 replica resin claws. I was a kit with even a dog tag included. I ´ve been looking for quite a while now for a decent set of claws, so I bought ´em. However couple of hours ago I get a mail from eBay that because this seller has broken too many rules all his listings are null and void. Since I payed 80 Dollars through paypal this saturday, I find myself between a rock and a hard place. Dude has my money and I have nothing to show for it.
His eBay store is called NW Propworks. It says on his profile he resides in Seattle, Washington.
Any of you ever heard of him? Is he like a known recaster?
Anyway, I´m still loking for claws as it were, so any help would be appreciated.
-Lars :cry
P.S. See the pic, Maybe you recognize them....I know it´s crappy and small as hell but it´s all I got.


UPDATE....SEE POST #34

For whatever its worth, I've had this happen to me twice and the seller came thru with the item I paid for.
Sometimes eBay's issues don't reflect on the seller.

If you have any email correspondence you can contact the seller.

You may be able to cancel the sale thru Paypal, esp. since they are connected with eBay.

I'd check into it before I gave away 80 bucks!

Man, that is terrible. Have you contacted ebay? With my PayPal account, I have some type of "insurance" deal that I pay for. It gives me a money back guarantee if any deal goes bad.

You should see if you have anything like that through ebay or Pay Pal. If not, I would be contacting ebay and demanding that they put you into contact with this guy. Hopefully you can get your wolverine claws or a refund that the very least. If ebay won't get your refund, then I would email their customer service and tell them you want to speak directly with a Supervisor! That always helps! I kid you not, you put in writing that you want a supervisor involved, it may just help you!

I hope you can get your money back brother. At the very least, maybe you can get your claws!

If you payed by Pay-Pal you should have no problem getting a refund.

Hope things turn out for you and keep us posted!

The paypal transaction should show his email address forget asking Ebay for anything you'll be wasting your time.
Give the seller some time to deliver, if he doesn't then try emailing him if that fails put in a claim with Paypal for a refund.
I've had this happen aswell where listings have been removed after the sale and the guy did deliver.
You have 45 days in which to file a claim with paypal so no panic.

Sounds to me like you're absolutely covered. It's possible Ebay may give you his contact details if you want to expedite the process of recovering your funds, but you'll get them back through paypal. Use the chat applet on the ebay site to talk to a rep - they'll put your mind at rest, I would think.

Actually... if eBay canned this seller it is likely PayPal also canned him - you may be lucky if they managed to freeze his account(s) before he pulled all the cash from it - if frozen too late you have zero protection and zero insurance of getting your money back.

I'd contact the seller to keep in touch - don't threaten with a claim until the end... he may come through.

You could definitely contact PayPal about it to make sure he can't just run with your money.

That's Wolf Morgan.

And he is?

Re: Just been ripped off...do you feel my pain?

WOW! Is he still alive?!?!

Isn't that the same guy who claimed to be terminal years ago after ripping off people at the RPF?"

File a dispute with PayPal and copy them Ebay's notification of cancellation.

That's Wolf Morgan.

Serial rip off artist that would claim to be dying of terminal something about every two months a few years ago. Infamous for announcing another project and taking pre-payments to pay for the run of whatever he was currently working on. He's banned from RPF I believe.

Cree you need to file with Pay-pal IMMEDIATLY!

I can't believe this scum is still out there!

Re: Just been ripped off...do you feel my pain?

I also ordered an item this weekend so I called him with the number on my PayPal receipt. He said everything was still a go, just having ebay trouble - we will see...... His number:

206-546-5063

Re: Just been ripped off...do you feel my pain?

Anybody know if he's still got the molds for that super deluxe Dracula helmet display he did years ago?

(I figure if "he's" not offering them anymore... )

Re: Just been ripped off...do you feel my pain?

Hi all
Thanks for the support and tips! wow!

Actually, this morning i got a mail from him (stephen - He called himself) in which he stated this:

"Ebay zapped all my auctions this morning due to a Vero (copyright)complaint, along with recent delays due to me being away on a job thispast month. The problem is being fixed, & everything should be back to normalonce they've gone over requested info. So all sales are still good, &your orders will be shipping out before the weekend. Sorry for the scare, & thanks for your time...

-Stephen"

Is this true?
If so, I maybe still get my claws. Either that, or I am one cullable S.O.B.
We´ll see.
Anyhooo, I thank you all for your replys! You guys are top notch!

Re: Just been ripped off...do you feel my pain?

I don't know why you think you've been ripped off, if eBay pulled the auctions then he had nothing to do with it and if you've paid for the item, I would say 99.9% of people would deliver the item (as he seems to be honouring).

I´ll give you this: Yes, maybe I was too quick to pull the trigger here...lesson learned, but until I have what I paid for, dont you think that´s fair considering the notice I got from eBay? I got scared, man....I´ve been ripped off before.
I did not post this up here to to start a witchhunt, I simply wanted to state my confusion. Get your view on the issue, nothing more.
And yes; You´ll probably right....He´ll come through and I´m a Happy Camper again. Everybody should have the benefit of a doubt in such matters. As soon as I have my item I´ll post it here along with an excuse to the seller (NW Propworks).

Re: Just been ripped off...do you feel my pain?

If he doesn't ship within 20 days from when you paid, file a claim with Paypal. That way he's got enough time to send you your item and you won't be waiting so long that PP turns you down for taking too long to file a claim.

And if this is Wolf going under a new name, you can bet you'll never see your stuff unless you visit him in person.

Yikes!!! NOT good! Took me over a year and constant hounding to get the pieces Wolf owed me. As others have stated, nothing but one BS excuse after another. He did finally come through but it wasn't worth the hassle.
