Cripes, no wonder George Bush was able to persuade the rubes in America that Saddam was going to drop a nuclear bomb on St. Louis. Those bozos at soul-source are still debating whether recordsfukall had "good intentions" or not!!?!?! Utterly clueless.

Scammer 6627michel has left the building: "No longer a registered user." http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...P:feedback:2:us The timing is consistent with 6627michel being another username for Diego the Dork. Either way, it took eBay less time to pull the plug on 6627michel. Good riddance!

I think both. The army and the Church. Historically speaking that's the most efficient formula. http://www.truecatholic.org/donations.htm Paypal. Papal. Coincidence?

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...P:feedback:2:us More negatives for 6627michel, the unholy son of recordsforall. No buyer has reported good feedback re any of the valuable LPs, and the negatives are going to get quickly pushed down and swamped under positive feedback for all the BuyItNow junk that 6627michel currently has listed. Definitely an improvement over Diego's scam! If he was really cleaver, 6627michel would have had one or two shill bids on some expensive vinyl, so those buyers could report something like, "I paid cash and I'm glad I did because I've never seen this record in such impeccable condition before -- better than advertised! A+++." That would probably suffice to hook a few suckers into sending cash or money order.

Yup. And scammer 6627Michel is returning the favor by leaving negative feedback for them. And we know what will happen: 6627Michel signed up on Nov 22, 2006. Will 6627Michel be suspended before February 22? Highly unlikely. If he is suspended before Feb. 22, the negative feedback he left will be automatically removed. If not (almost certainly the case), it's permanent. Isn't eBay wonderful?

Finally the inevitable - he's no longer a registered ebay member: refundsforall Rock on. I still have my negative feedback scar which I'll wear as a badge of honor/shame. Meanwhile, that Canadian sleezebag is starting to get slammed: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...P:feedback:2:us

Unreal. Assuming it's a scam, this guy has learned well. 1) include some pictures 2) demand cash or money order payment 3) keep the "feedback floater" auctions running so the good feedback never stops! From the "completed items" it looks like roughly $30K records sold in the last five days -- the highest prices (>$1000) achieved on vanity classical items. No feedback on any of those purchases yet. Over 1400 items up for sale (and all but a tiny handful of those are buy-it-now cheapos). So if you're a "winner" on one of those auctions, what sort of "showing" do you ask of this seller before you blow the whistle, a la jazzguy?

Thanks for sharing. As for why the bidding attention, that's easy: folks were looking for a deal. If ripoffsforall had turned out to be legit, the records I was watching would have been bargains: about half the price and in better condition than the last ones I saw sold. The middle of the holidays ... a seller that isn't on every collector's "favorites" list ... that's how "bargains" are found on eBay. The temptation can be difficult to resist. Some resisted, some didn't. Likewise, the temptation to criticize those who bid on the auctions is difficult to resist. Some resisted. Some didn't.

http://feedback.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.d...d=recordsforall 24 negative feedbacks as of this morning.

Diego Padovese = "The Smart Groover"????? http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:L847Tu...t=clnk&cd=2

Fyi, here's another creative action from a burned buyer. Check out what our favorite scumball is doing to his "customers" -- sending them garbage 45s! Insult on top of injury! http://cgi.ebay.com/RECORDSFORALL-RIPOFF-D...6QQcmdZViewItem Here's the text, in case the auction gets scrubbed by eBay: ANYONE WHO GOT BURNED BY THIS SOB DIEGO PADOVESE FROM COLLEFERO ITALY ( or so he said) ebay name RECORDSFORALL recordsforall( 337 IS ASKED TO CONTACT ME FOR ACTIONS TAKEN ALREADY..IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH.....HE WENT PRIVATE TO KEEP US FROM COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER...please use freakbeat@yahoo.com for all communication. I WON TWO EXPENSIVE PSYCH LPS FROM HIM...HE SENT ME A TRACKING NUMBER FROM ITALIAN POST.. IT CAME AS A SMALL PACKAGE WITH A HALL & OATES 45 RPM ( HE DID THIS SO HE COULD THEN SEND A SCAN OF THE PACKAGE TO PAYPAL OR EBAY WHEN WE STARTED COMPLAINING HOPING TO COVER HIS ASS) I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT OTHERS...LETS GET THIS CROOK

I think that rule is already in effect. Note that such a rule would not have prevented recordsforall from running his scam and leaving a trail of negative feedback. A better and perfectly reasonable rule would (1) disallow users with private feedback from selling; and (2) prevent users with private feedback from leaving feedback to others; and (3) automatically strip any feedback given and received by a seller who changes his feedback from 'public' to 'private.' Such a rule would have weakened recordsforall's overall "strategy". Or eBay could just get rid of 'private feedback' because it's stupid. Again, eBay's lawyers allow private feedback to avoid having to litigate privacy laws in country's with stricter (i.e., better) privacy laws than in the US. But it seems to me a very reasonable quid pro quo to give up your "privacy" with respect to the feedback feature of eBay if you want to utilize eBay's auction site. Nevertheless, litigation is expensive and so, once again, eBay errs on the side of scam artists.

Speaking for myself, it's hardly worth the effort to negotiate a mutual agreement with dorkus to remove his pathetic negative feedback. Just thinking about the guy makes me want to take shower. The thing about hopelessly stupid and ethically bankrupt people is that you don't know what the hell they are going to do next. Further involvement would seem to increase the likelihood that I'll wake up one morning and find recordsforall taking a leak on the side of my house.

Following up on my previous message, I just received this form letter from eBay (my name was inserted by eBay's computer at several points to "personalize" it -- they must think I'm really stupid): ---------- Thank you for contacting eBay in regards to the removal of your negative feedback from the member " recordsforall". I will be happy to assist you. eBay automatically removes Feedback left by members who are suspended *INDEFINITELY * within 90 days of their registration. However, not all suspensions qualify for Feedback removal. In some situations, the member may be *temporarily* suspended. For example, an account might be restricted because the member didn't pay his or her eBay bill. Often, we can provide the member with an opportunity to resolve the issue and request reinstatement. In those cases, the Feedback won't qualify for removal. To learn more about the eBay Feedback Abuse, Withdrawal, and Removal policy, please go to: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/feedba...withdrawal.html As you can see, this member's account was not "indefinitely" suspended, and they are once again active on eBay. The feedback posted cannot be removed, as it does not fall within the scope of the Feedback Removal Policy. Removal is not permitted even if the member may have been involved in violating other eBay policy. Members are held solely responsible for the comments they post. eBay does not assume editorial authority over such comments. Appropriate action is taken on a member's account when violations of policy occur. However, feedback removal is not a part of this action, or tied to such violations. Feedback is only removed when the Feedback Removal Policy is broken directly. You are able to view this policy at the following link: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/feedba...withdrawal.html --------------------------------------- Short version: the negative feedback is permanent, regardless of what happens to recordsforall, unless eBay strays from its own policy and "generously offers" to remove the stains.

As I wrote upthread, don't bet on it. When I contacted eBay about having the feedback that recordsforall dumped on me expunged, they replied: tough luck. It's after the 90 day "safe harbor" where negative feedback from banned sellers is automatically removed. My impression is that eBay is uninterested in addressing complaints which 90 days after a seller has first registered with eBay. It's just not worth it to them. They are happy to take the money they made from recordsforall *before the scam* and presumably they made a bunch of money off his fraudulent sales as well. In that regard, recordsforall timed his scam perfectly, spending just the right amount of time building up his positive feedback "cushion."

I did exactly what was suggested above (great minds think alike . After recordsforall left his negative feedback, I responded by directing eBayers to google "recordsforall" and "scam". That'll tell them everything they need to know. I can understand that some people are super averse to ANY negative feedback when there are folks (someone upthread, for example) who claim that they do not bid on anything from a seller who has less than 100% feedback. Frankly, I do not even believe these absolutists exist. Some of the best record dealers on eBay have one or two negative feedbacks because, after selling thousands of records, a seller is bound to stumble across some psycho buyer who can't be pleased, regardless of how reasonable and generous the seller about fixing the "problem". That's why sellers aren't allowed to keep feedback private: it's important to look at what's been sold in the past, who's buying from the seller, at what prices, etc. As for my own negative feedback (a grand total of two over the past 7 years on eBay), I am certain that it won't affect my credibility or the willingness of reasonable buyers to sell to me. That is because every month I'm shelling out hundreds of bucks to happy sellers. You'd have to be to not want my bidding on your stuff.

Hi. I'm new here, having discovered the site as a direct result of searching for info on recordsforall. I have absolutely no pity for this creep and here's why: not only did he run a scam auction (I could really care less why) but the guy has the incredible gall to give me and other users who refuse to pay him negative feedback! That is truly beyond the pale. I was suspicious from the beginning when I noticed that his previous sales were all relatively cheap 45s. Then I became somewhat less suspicious when I noticed that serious vinyl collectors (as judged by their previous winnings) were willing to dive in. So I picked up a few (relatively cheap, in retrospect) items to score and won one of them (for a mere 150 bucks or thereabouts). Almost immediately someone gave the guy negative feedback for refusing to provide scans -- bless that dude's soul! I decided to hold off to see whether any positive reports from the December 21 fantasy auction would actually flow in. Instead, fraudforall opted to change his feedback to "private"! As far as I was concerned, the contract had been breached because eBay doesn't permit sellers to use the "private feedback" option. In light of that breach of trust (with its obvious inequitable ramifications) I decided I was certainly under no obligation to follow through with the transaction. I had the opportunity to inform scamforall of this fact on two occasions when he alerted me that my payment was overdue and then (try to believe it!) he started a "Dispute Resolution" thingie with me through eBay, accusing me of flaking out. Interestingly, he refused to address my charges and recitations of facts that made it clear that he was pulling a scam. Sensing the inevitable outcome and hoping to alert anyone else who hadn't already figured it out, I gave the dude the negative feedback he deserved. eBays stupid "private feedback" policy prevented anyone from seeing exactly WHY I was slamming recordofgall. To top it off, this poor schmuck with his doomed account then nails ME with negative feedback (thankfully I had only won one record -- poor jazzguy got hit with at least five negative feedbacks!). At least then (because my own feedback is not private) I was able to alert any seller who might see the feedback exactly where to go to find the answers he/she needed about recordsforall. Unfortunately (tho not that big of a deal for me personally) I also learned that eBay's policy regarding feedback removal in these circumstances is really quite favorable to scumbags like recordsfall versus "winners" of such scumbags' auctions. The policy is that if a seller's permission to use eBay is terminated within 90 days after the seller registered, then all negative feedback left by that seller is AUTOMATICALLY removed. But -- as I learned in an email from some worthless soulless stooge who sits in a plastic cubicle and collects paychecks from scumBay -- negative feedback received under my circumstances is ABSOLUTELY NOT removable. Recordsforall signed up in mid-October and he's still a member. The 90 days period is over and now negative feedback from this jerk is permanent. Or so I was told by eBay. Try to figure out how that policy makes sense. I'll save you some time. That policy makes sense only if eBay has determined that the 90 days "impermanent period" for negative feedback is the MINIMUM sufficient to convince a judge that they are making a "best effort" to police fraudulent sellers. After the 90 days, eBay can save lots of money by not even bothering to investigate claims such as mine. Some stooge just sends the form email and life goes on. Yeah, it's disgusting.
