This
is a list of individuals with
which I have had problems in conducting transactions.
The list also contains the eBay user IDs and names, when known, of
individuals selling
forgeries through eBay without indication that they are such and who
upon being notified
of the problem have not withdrawn or corrected the description of the
items being offered.
Esta
es una lista de individuos con
los que he tenido problemas en transacciones.
La lista tambien contiene los IDs de los vendedores de eBay y sus
nombres, cuando los
conozco, que han ofrecido material falso en eBay sin indicarlo como tal
y quienes al ser
advertidos del problema no han retirado el material o corregido la
descripcion del
material ofrecido.
In 2006 Mr. Ray E. Edmundson sold me a lot of 10 Spanish Administration postal cards through eBay. Upon receipt I noted that 6 out of the 10 postal cards were either trimmed or were only one half of double reply cards. The description of the lot in eBay did not mention any of these problems, it only showed images of the cards.
I contacted Mr. Edmundson and told him that I was not satisfied with the lot and offered him a reduced amount for the four sound cards in the lot, which he refused and also refused to take back the lot. I subsequently returned the lot to him via certified mail and when after two or three weeks he had not sent me a refund, I contacted my Visa card and asked them to reverse the charge on the lot, which they did.
This apparently annoyed Mr. Edmundson and he has been
thereafter offering Cuban
material in eBay for sale appending the phrase NOT FOR CUESTA to the
lot description.
Mr. Edmundson operates in eBay under the user ID sgirten.
Mr. José Luis González sold me a horizontal pair of unused Cuba
Scott #3 stamps through eBay.
Upon receipt I examined the stamps and determined that they were not
unused and returned
them via certified mail with a request for a refund.
Mr.González refused to send me
a refund unless I sent the item to be expertized and the item came back
with a certificate
confirming my opinion that the pair was unused. He finally
agreed to send the item
himself for expertization, but again refused to send me a refund until
the opinion was
rendered. I subsequently contacted my Visa card and asked them to
reverse the charges on the
item, which they did.
Mr. González operates in eBay under the user IDs havana_filler and spic-and-span.
WARNING
Be advised
that the Madrid (Spain) auction house
J.R. SUBASTAS
refused to pay me over US$ 3,000
for lots sold through its auctions.
You are advised
not to do
business
with this firm.
During the GRANADA 92
International Philatelic Exhibition, I gave Mr. Ramirez, owner of J.R.
Subastas, several
lots of antique maps for sale at his auctions. Mr. Ramirez put the
material for sale and
it realized over U.S. $3000 which he failed to pay me. A couple of
years later, during a
trip to Madrid I stopped by his store in Calle Mayor and demanded
payment. He said he
didn’t have the funds to pay me and instead gave me in
compensation several lots of
Spanish revenue paper, from which I was only able to sell a portion,
recovering only a
fraction of the $3000 owed.
ADVERTENCIA
Aviso que la casa de subastas madrileña
J.R. SUBASTAS
rehusó pagarme más de US$ 3000
por cuenta de lotes vendidos a través de sus subastas.
