He made his feedback "private" right after receive the negative feedback from rirififi222.


Also before those rare AES auctions he never used "private listing of bidders".


I'm trying to negotiate a local pickup with him in Hong Kong but the seller seems to not be interested on doing this.


The seller address on ebay is not available (it says only default), i asked for a mobile phone number so i can talk to him but he didn't replied.


Something just does not feel right about this seller.

I got my game

First time I brought anything from this seller...it is a mahjong aes game, received it 8 days after I paid, the cartridge is good, the insert and the manual are fine too...but the black plastic tray were cracked, so I asked this seller for refund. Finally, we settled this issue for a partial refund and I left me a positive. All I can say is a ok transaction.

You're not softmap.hk, are you? Few minutes as a member on here and you're already defending a potential scammer on your first post.

Thanks for the information. I will try to help Fish and the Ebay guy who got scammed $3500+ on Ebay.

Guess what? Based on the information provided by member TimKunming, there might be a connection between Hong Kong Ebay Seller "etrade168" and "softmap.hk"

See this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Puyo-Puyopuyo-D...1497497QQihZ014QQcategoryZ62053QQcmdZViewItem

At the bottom of the auction under "Seller's payment instructions":

For Money order and cashier check, please mail to Harvey Tam 2241 East Cameron Ave West Covina CA 91791 USA . For Money transfer please send to: Tam, Hau Wu 3/F 33 Austin Road Kowloon Hong Kong

The address matches the one provided by TimKunming.

TimKunming, can you confirm that you did not mix up etrade168 and softmap.hk? What is your Ebay ID TimKunming?

Might have connection with Ebay seller "etrade168" (Harvey Tam, Hau Wu), but it cannot be confirmed 100%.

Since Ebay deletes public record of every auctions after 3 months of the end of auction. I have finished printing out and uploading some of softmap.hk's Neo Geo auctions for record purpose.

rirififi222 (Ebay) was the highest bidder on the $3,100 + $450 auction who received a PS1 Beatmania controller with 1 game by Registered Airmail from Hong Kong
