eBay PowerSeller-tkbarger seems to have unbelievable records...too good to be true?
Err buddies...Orchi wishes to seek your attention to the feedback history of...
the eBay PowerSeller - tkbarger of USA... At 1st glance...the Seller would seem to have established himself with quite an impeccable...YET Unbelievable Feed Back history in eBay...since 1998. HOWEVER...when you pay close attention to MANY... if NOT MOST of his so called... track records which the Seller would seem to have accumulated...you would notice that...WHILST he would seem to have been receiving... impeccable feedbacks from many of his successful n... perhaps many HAPPY bidders of his auctions of high ticket watches in eBay... ALMOST...if NOT ALL of his so called HAPPY CLIENTS... NEVER get to receive ANY FEEDBACKS in returns from the eBay PowerSeller... for their so called...PURCHASES of those items being won by their respective winning bids... http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI...serid=tkbarger For examples of JUST FEW of the Seller's MANY recent feedbacks received from their so called HAPPY clients... :- User:jonrcollection( 1572) Date:Jan-11-09 14:01:06 PST Praise: Great transaction! Very professional and I will buy through these guys again. User:sleeth0804(10) Date:Jan-08-09 08:33:28 PST Praise: extremely smooth transaction; polite, responsive, quick, safe User:sirlassie( 1474) Date:Jan-07-09 18:40:22 PST Praise: nice watch good price thank you User:watchbratsx7( 33) Date:Jan-05-09 19:30:01 PST Praise: Perfect watch! Beat local dealer's "absolute best" price, PLUS no tax! A+ User:h2frankie( 54) Date:Jan-02-09 06:40:41 PST Praise: could have shipped more quickly.. rolex better than described! Thanks so much!! User:mr.flyinhigh( 166) Date:Dec-30-08 13:04:42 PST Praise: A stunning watch from a "Cream Of The Crop" eBay seller. Highly recommended! A++ So buddies...IF you don't mind to check those relevant feedback history... of the Seller's so called HAPPY clients...against the DATE of Purchases completed...you would notice that... SUBSEQUENTLY the eBay PowerSeller - tkbarger ...NEVER need to return ANY feedbacks to their...so called...HAPPY clients... NOW...anyone knows what could be going on...n how that's possible...????  DID the so called HAPPY clients of eBay PowerSeller - tkbarger... ACTUALLY have made those successful bidding...for their legitimate purchases...??? OR...is there a highly POSSIBILITY of criminal elements being committed in eBay... by the eBay Power Seller - tkbarger of USA...???

I only wish I could have as much free time on my hands as you.
Now you don't like power sellers with great feed-back, and refer to the person's feedback as having "high possibility of criminal elements?" That's quite a statement. Can you share the dirty tactics with the people who don't know..... Last edited by FOUNTAIN RACING; 13 January 2009 at 04:35 AM.. Reason: . |

Orchi,
I have heard that name on VRF as a scammer. I guess those are the links you provided. Definitively, buyer BEWARE!

good work!! scammers set up many accounts or hijack accounts (they have many ways) with good feedback - then they use them to bid on items from there original scam account. Thus it seems they have great feedback

Also...Orchi suspects...the Sellers of this sort may have separate accounts in eBay... to do fictitious bidding...then file a dispute to resolve it...before giving the Seller...the much needed "impeccable" feedbacks... But the question here remains...what else can be done about this Seller...? He could even steal the entire website contents of buddy Stephane's Worldly Watches... http://www.worldlywatches.com/home.php This guy would seem to have got balls of steel... Just wondering what else he is capable of... In this...he identifies himself as Thomas Barger... http://thomas-watches.com/home.php?go=home In here...he identifies himself as Shaun Coulthard... http://www.vintages-watches.com/home.php?go=home |

Honestly, if someone was not doing this how many more people would wind up getting screwed. WOW!!!!
Mr Orchi, I am 150% impressed by the effort you put forth patching this information together, just amazed. All the barger (whoever it is) sites look so pristine and professional. Great deal of work done to screw people out of thier funds (So it appears) Not to mention the ebay id, maybe lady casper can convince ebay to look into this marvelous feedback and see how many are true. Phone numbers on websites are: (510) 225-9146 Type: Land Line Provider: Allegiance Telecom, Inc Location: Oakland, CA Listing Detail (440) 229-6212 Type: Land Line Provider: AT&T Location: Hillcrest, OH And all email address's on the 2 sites go to richard@vintages-watches.com Just adding a little to it all. Jim |

Thomas Barger aka ebay- TKBARGER is a POS. I won one of his auctions for a watch and he immediately claimed it was broken and couldn't complete transaction. THEN he filed a unpaid item dispute that went on for 1 1/2 months. I saved his emails and forwarded them to ebay. Back then he advertised as having a standing store and after further research there was no store. That can't be his name either because his english (spelling) is horrible. I'm sure he gets alot of emails after the "buy it now" sale of a watch that is grossly underpriced and carefully chooses who he is going to "take".

After reading all these posts, I guess fountain racing has the answer to his last question - as posted by fountain racing:
I only wish I could have as much free time on my hands as you (Orchi). Now you don't like power sellers with great feed-back, and refer to the person's feedback as having "high possibility of criminal elements?" That's quite a statement. Can you share the dirty tactics with the people who don't know..... Good job Orchi, Pav and the others involved here in identifying tbarger's fraudulent intentions.

Err buddies...thanks EVERYONE for their understanding n support...without
which...this Watch Out forum would NOT be as productive n effective...for ALL its intended purposes... Orchi for one would like to see very much...the eBay PowerSeller - tkbarger ...n the other similar dishonest Sellers be eliminated from eBay... Orchi needs the assistance of everyone... to highlight the complaints with eBay...ASAP.  So lets get tkbarger off eBay 1st...before he prays on the next unwary n unfortunate buyers... After that...perhaps the FBI or the relevant authority can pursue the matter further...to see to it that...tkbarger or whoever his real identity may be... can be prosecuted for this crimes...n be locked up in jail for a looooog time to come.

B&P (#150319244208) US $19,000.00 View Item BUT so far...the eBay Buyer of the Audemar watch - chad25(1110) ... who would seem to have paid n taken delivery of the watch...

of the unthinkable possibilities happening with these fellas...especially with the eBay PowerSeller - tkbarger ... Perhaps Buddy Springer could shed some light onto the possibilities...if any to begin with... 1st up...just for the fish of possibilities that may be happening in eBay with these fellas... Besides...err...money laundering... How about if the eBay account of tkbarger is being hijacked or stolen... by another unscrupulous bigger fish party in eBay...? How about the bigger fish being involved with tax evasion...or fraud.? How about any fishes involving in false accounting practices...? How about cheating...? How about scamming...? Maybe...should eBay be subpoenaed...to cooperate with the FBI or relevant law enforcement authority...to release the vital details n information...it would be possible for the authorities to paste up loose pieces of the puzzle together...before appropriate actions can be taken against the perpetrators...if necessary. That said...guess somebody needs to initiated official complaints to eBay...n the relevant law enforcement authorities...to begin with...before any official investigations can be issued... |

Would it be that tbarger just doesn't like to put feedbacks? That would be a valid defence...
