Okay I've heard back from Rob via eBay email:
Please PM or email me your real name, addresses and what is owed. Do NOT post it to the forum for obvious security sake. I'll compile it all into one list for Rob to work off of. If you know members of the TDH or 501st forums that are due something as well, please pass this along.
My email is mjackiw@-remove-comcast.net.
I'll do what I can to help.
And now the messages from karline-2000. I gather you guys went through the same blasted grief I have.Payment Method: PayPal
Date of Payment: 05/11/07
Seller Contact: Yes, But the issue is unresolved
Customer concern: Dear eBay Dispute.
This in regards to an auction paid for back in 5/11/2007 through PayPal but has not been received, and it's been about 9 months now.
(I've tried to use the dispute console but this situation of not having received my item has gone on for so ridiculously long that the auction information has now vanished. I have kept email records of every eBay system message I've received so I can back up everything I'm saying.)
I ordered a "stormtrooper a.n.h stunt helmet kit" (item #180114158877) -- basically a Star Wars-based Stormtrooper Stunt life-sized helmet from eBay user "karline-2000" who is currently selling the same kind of item (180202029342). It has never arrived. Repeated PMs through eBay for a tracking number were sidestepped with assurances that it was in the mail. I've asked for a refund and he would not provide it. I decided to just let him send me a helmet. The first was allegedly lost in the mail. The second still never arrived. The third attempt was thwarted due to some UK mail strike (yet I received postage from the UK). And still no response after inquiries.
Below are excerpts of PM's received from karline-2000. You'll note that I asked for a refund, which he said he could not give but would give me another product instead. At this point, my money was trapped in this individual and I had no choice. But I'd much prefer a refund and be done with this individual once and for all. I will never transact with him again.
PayPal transaction ID: 7SA885694V0713518 to Robert Galloway for GBP 119.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi Mac, I've sent your post and the other list from DC on to Rob. Glad to hear Nogga got his armor. Hopefully the rest will have as happy an ending.
Dear lordabaddon,
Hi need a bit more info mate so i can find invoices names addresses ect, can you do that for me so i can sort this out i am working my way through people but its taking a little time, ime trying to get it all sorted before friday the 28th march as im emigrating to australia. Thanks alot Rob.
- karline-2000
emigrating to australia! somehow i find that a little hard to swallow. i also notice that his feedback has become private on ebay, he may just be trying to provide an excuse for cutting all communication with people come the end of the month, making it look like he tried his best within the time remaining then just giving up.
