i still feel sorry for the buyer. He bought a watch in good faith for a fair price on ebay. he received one with a fake bracelet, the forum agrees its fake and paypal agrees with him.

yet he is still getting grief on this thread? Doesn't make sense to me.

My apologies - I was using eBay's Community Profile lookup and it came back that way for 3 of the ID's.

It's about how he acted on his first and only post on TRF. Offering no evidence, only that everyone should trust him, then calling people schmucks when they ask for evidence.

If you read his one and only post on here I think you might agree that he could have worded it way way better than he did and why he was banned immediately.

That would definitely be one of my concerns! Hope you don't get stiffed on the rebound...
My expectations to such big godlike million dollar dealer would be a somewhat more professional approach to solving a dispute, specially since we are talking about a (for him) measly 1500$.

Good luck and I hope for you that the return of your watch is the end of it

Paypal's buyer protection is almost legendary, and an absolute beautiful system. Sadly it has been abused by scammers on plenty occasions by them returning fake or even cheaper substitutes, as witnessed not only here but on other forums too. And you know what they say: if it smells like a fishy duck don't stay for dinner!

If it wasn't for me making this thread and David (crowncollection) actually showing me evidence for comparison or asking me for specific pictures and saying its fake I would still not have proof.

I've asked the buyer at least 10x in eBay messages, emails and on Paypal for some type of proof yet he refused.

The only reason Paypal decided in his favor is because he submitted evidence to them. Why couldn't he have done that for me? This whole ordeal would have never taken place because I would've done what he asked and refunded $1,500.00.

I've never said he is going to pull a switch-a-roo. Mater of fact I still stood up for him and said I don't think he would stoop to that level of swapping parts out. He's the one that got the raw end of the deal buying something he thought was an authentic Rolex part. He comes across as a jerk to people but I don't think he's a dishonest buyer.

In the end he's getting made whole. There's something that this guy had said that if I posted in the open I guarantee you NODODY here would be on his side. Ive PM'ed what he said to two members and ill leave it at that because Ive never wanted to make it personal, I always wanted it to be about the bracelet.

And with that said, I'm off to do some shopping.

I agree with all your points, including the fact that you did stand up for him,however if someone had to be named a victim here it would be the buyer wouldn't it? I don't agree with his nasty misdirected post, but I can see how he might be a little pissed. A few of us members jumped to the early conclusion that its a scam and continued to question the buyers motives even after the situation had been resolved. Its just my take on this.

It is best to put it behind you and move forward. You were also a victim when the piece was first sold to you.

Glad the thread shared the detail it did for the benefit of TRF community.

Its pretty sad to see why the buyer has to prove the item he bought is a fake to seller in first place, this should be the sellers job in first place. Thank you paypal for acting as " broker" over internet sales.

It's not sad. That's part of the deal if you use Paypal. In this instance the buyer is right but there are plenty of scammer out there. Just ask some members on this board. I've had 2 PM saying they sold a Rolex and buyers claimed it was fake. It was only until Paypal had the paperwork with both pictures to determine the buyer was lying.

Paypal is his saving grace because if it was done VIA wire there would be no refund.

Also this buyer pulled this same stunt on another TRF member so the buyers record is not spotless.

In before the lock. The bottom line is the op didn't know it was fake and the buyer is a douche. These are the facts.

Buyer needs better comunicting skill, or manner, actually. Not feeling bad for him at all for being banened and judged as how he acts.
OP just found out his bracelet is not authentic, and that's an honest mistake if anything. Simple explaination from the buyer would have accomplished a lot and saved everyone a lot of time, whilst self-proclaiming "God" naturally lands him a negative impression from anyone coherant. Return the watch and receive the refund would have been a sensible approach.

Having said that, I do appreciate the buyer's ("rearlounge" is his name, right?) antic for inspiring all the experts here, I was thoroughly enlightened, and all that details of the G below the lady and the dog head are very entertaining and informative, and above all, educational!

Yes, those are the facts indeed.




MODs feel free to lock the thread. The verdict is in. Hes returning the watch and is getting a FULL refund. I'll make a new post if anything comes up when I receive the watch back. Fingers crossed I get exactly what I sent to him back.

Thanks everyone!

I don't think it should be locked until it's over and you receive your watch back.
