It's actually very sickening. Look at his completed items, almost every single one was shilled.

His last message to me was that if I contacted him again he would get his lawyer involved for false allegations on a public forum that was detrimental to his business.

He is obviously concerned as he immediately changed his eBay ID:

Please have him post his lawyers name I love when guys say I will get my lawyer in my industry. I just ask for their number so I can get the ball rolling and they give you that blank stare

FWIW, here's the 2 messages I got from him here on BO, and one on eBay.

Seriously, you should have come to me like a man and discussed this and not blown it up to the whole card collecting community. I HAVE A FAMILY TO PROVIDE FOR. I could and would have taken care of this situation. I am a grown man. I'm not a little kid. I handle things like a man. You should too. Whatever took place will never happen again. I need you to think long and hard if you want to keep these posts up about me. Every day you do is a day that my kids could go without food on the table. Is that really worth it to you? I want you to know that you have my word that it's all clean from here on out. Man to man, give me a second chance. That is all I am asking for. I have a family to provide for. Everyone deserves a second chance. My family relies on me for money and food. Please keep this between me and you. The way it should be

My Reply-

This will be my last message to you. Feel free to block me. I don't give a rats ass about you having to provide for your family. You are STEALING money from other people trying to provide for their families. The funny thing is, I was trying to figure out how to price some of my auctions, and that's how I came across you. If you choose to continue to rip people off, that's fine. Do whatever the hell you want. But we as a community will continue to let others know about liars and cheaters. This community is supposed to be about collecting, having fun, and enjoying the hobby. Not ripping other people off.

And the eBay one...

Dear potlimitomahafan,

So how many accounts do you have to shill your auctions? We've found 2 so far... http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/m...ml#post3437068

- verufian

Dear verufian,

listen, where and how do you want me to apologize? I feel terrible. #1 It will never happen again. #2 I will donate 10% of all my listings to charity for the next month. #3 it will never happen again. #4 I have a family to provide for. Please give me a second chance. All I ask for is a second chance. I have to provide for my family

Pathetic. You should take all of your findings, and your emails from this clown, and forward them to ebay. I'm sure they would be very interested.
I don't give a crap if he has a family to provide for; so do the rest of us. So him ripping buyers off is somehow justified?? Ebay fraud is a felony.

I reported him to eBay a few months ago for more than one auction that he'd bid up with a shill account. Clearly eBay didn't take the report seriously.

What's really irritating is that they could have caught him with a simple database script. When one account has 100% of its bids go to one seller, which is information that even eBay users can see, clearly there is shill bidding going on.
