Be cautious when dealing with xxZonexx
« on: October 31, 2005, 12:40:16 PM »
I got the runaround on an Absolute Inferno from xxZonexx which raised a red flag.

We agreed on a deal the morning of 10-26. I asked xxZonexx to ship the ball first because he has only one deal (unconfirmed) on this site. xxZonexx was hesitant, however he agreed when I told him I would send a M.O. Fed-Ex standard overnight when I received a valid tracking number.

xxZonexx stated he would ship the ball out on 10-26. He PMs me on 10-28 stating it was his mom's birthday and he would send it on Saturday, 10-29. I PM'd him on the 29th and no answer. I PM'd him today telling him it's stuff like this that gives people a bad reputation on this site.

He PMs me back  
quote:
I don't have time to you know some people have to work for a living and when I'm done there closed. Excuse me and I'm sorry


If you don't have time to ship the ball, don't try to sell it.

I just wanted to tell my board brethren to be cautious if you deal with xxZonexx.

funny how you are more worried about responding about your ebay account you dont have then helping the buyer with his ball and responding about that!

Has there ever been a decent trader on this site that had a user name with any combination of xx's in front of and in back of their name?  It seems like a number of problems have emerged over the years with such individuals, and quite frankly, it has occurred often enough to automatically be a red flag.
