Guys, I may be wrong but i believe the ebayer chrisclearout to be a scammer. Check out one of his items here

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GAROU-MARK-OF...ryZ72503QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I believe that he is using pictures from hit-japan amongst others for his listings.

I have contacted ebay already and his auctions vanished for a while, however they have now been relisted.

If ebay dont want to take my concerns seriously I cant be bothered to email them again.

It is against ebay rules to copy photos from someone else's auctions. If he is copying hit-japan's pics, that alone is grounds for ebay to end his listings. If you can find a pic elsewhere that he copied, then you should report him.

Scammer on Ebay

I'm afraid Titles like Garou and Pulstar one would expect UK Special Delivery for such high value items , yet the listing shows ''1st Class Standard''
Don't think I will be putting a bid on any of these.!!!
Also In the description ' Items will be sent within 7 days.'' Just enough time to wipeout those Paypal funds:lol:

High Value item + Zero Feedback = Scammer

Looking at his other auctions, he seems to have listed just about all of the most sought after games on a variety of platforms in factory new condition. I suspect this is a scammer, but I guess you never really know.

Just because he is using someone else's pic doesnt mean he's a scammer, for Christ's sake he has 0 feedback and is NEW to ebay.

When I first started on ebay in 2000 I used other peoples pictures in the beginning because I didnt have a digital camera, hell even now some people dont have one.

But of course, watch out.

Valid point, but it is against ebay rules. I think the reason behind it is the same reason why on this site members tend type neo-geo.com or their names on photos so that someone else can't steal those photos. It assures that the seller actually possesses the item he claims to sell.

Similar, but no cigar. There's a registration card in the other pic.

Hi all, I'm new to this site and have no interest in neo-geo games, but I did win the auction on ebay for chrisclearout' chrono trigger prototype. however, after not hearing from him for a few days after the auction I did a google search for his name and found this thread. Luckily I paid by paypal so I am covered in that respect but what is bothering me is i've requested his contact details from ebay 3 times now and not had any emails from them. I will let it run for another week but if i don't hear anything i'll start a dispute and get my money back. I'll let you guys know how i get on.

Good Luck. !!! If I were you I would open that dispute immeditaely regardless.!
If he has cleared out his Paypal account you will get NOTHING.

Paypal say your covered but this does not necessarily mean they can get your money back. (read the clauses).

Keep us posted.

looks like he's genuine

Good news! (for me anyway!) looks like his items are coming through now, 1 person has left feedback from him saying the item has arrived, he had quite a lot of stuff all ending at the same time, must have just taken him a while to pack it all up. I'll let you all know if I recieve my game.

not recieved the game yet :-(

however, if he is a scammer he isn't a very good one. the phone number he registered on ebay with is genuine and his, i spoke to him yesterday on it. He claims he posted it on the 7th and will email me the tracking number. i hope for his sake he isn't a scammer as i've traced his address, he owns a shop in kidderminster.......

I would be pretty worried if someone told me that it was posted on the 7th and its now the 17th.! Especially if they used a trackable service which should take 3 days Max in the UK. (2nd class).!!!!

So you still dont have the tracking number.?
