and how did you pay for the videos?

and if you cannot get in touch with them at all....be sure to file fraud charges with ebay(but only after 30 days from auction end)

~laurie~

Makes them look more like con artists to me. I sure wouldn't bid on any of their auctions.

To anyone that has not received their merchandise, pull thebarry's contact info and try calling to see whats up! If it's phony turn them in to eBay for suspension.

http://www.mindspring.com/~bookdealers/ripoff.html

Remember that according to the mail order rule, they do have up to 30 days after receiving payment before they are required to ship - unless they told you they'd ship within a shorter period. If you paid using PayPal, don't let their 30 day time limit on complaints to expire if you haven't received your stuff.

Very suspicious downturn in feedback.

He also has a statement on his eBay Store that he is shipping the vast numbers he recently sold.

Ichi

Be prepared to follow through as necessary with PayPal and fraud protection etc., but give the seller an opportunity to make it right, too. 23,000+ good transactions, 52 bad ones, half of them in just the past month? I'm gambling on a lost UPS/USPS shipment, or a new employee who's screwed up. If these guys are for real, they'll do everything they can to make it right.

He wrote me stating that he was leaving on vacation this week Tuesday - 2
days ago. I think he ripped off all of us. But he did have feedbacks from
audioguild , twohats(or something like that) sellhollywood, and a few more.
I know these were not factory sealed videos however as he told me this. He
stated they were brand new but opened for easier storage. I had purchased
about 40 to 50 videos from him. He said he sent the first shippment out on
Feb. 19th and it was 9 videos. As of the 19th - I had about 20 plus videos
paid for so this confused me. He then told me that he sent another batch on
Feb. 28th , well I have yet to receive anything. I believe he told everybody
that he would be shipping these out 10 days later so they couldn't file a
claim with paypal as it is only 30 days. He continued to tell me that he
sent them. If you find anything out - please let me know. Take Care ,

Hi, I too have been a victim,no response to e-mails sent nor have I received
the video tape and its been over a month. I too will dispute the charge w/my
bank.Thanks for the info, regards....Mike.

I too have not recieved my purchases. I contacted TheBarry1 through his email
account once and was told my videos were mailed out on Feb 14. He said if I
had not recieved them by this past Monday, March 4, to email him again. I did
and have not recieved any response.

Since I am a fairly new memeber of Ebay I wasn't sure if this delay was to be
expected. Is there anything we can do through Ebay channels to get this
resolved?

I'm SO GLAD YOU WROTE !! I've been put off by people saying that they will wait for more time. It was FEB 5th when I won my order. Barry said he shipped it FEB 14th. If we wait to long he will be on a Island far away with 100's of 1000's of dollors!

IF EBAY WON'T RESPOND WE SHOULD GO TO THE MEDIA RIGHT AWAY!!! Ebay would hate a huge story of how over a thousand people lost money too e-crime! THANK YOU KEVIN

I have ordered (and received) videos from TheBarry in the past. I have yet
to receive the first two videos I won from him in his latest batch. I paid
for them on February 15th and noted his comment that shipment may be
delayed. I since won a further 5 videos from him, which I have not yet paid
for, in anticipation of receipt of the first order. My past experience with
him was excellent, but I appreciate the warning and will hold off on payment
until I hear more.

Thanks,

John

I have not sent out any money yet to thebarry because he has NOT responded
to my email messages, has HIDDEN his feedback - it is now private, and have
noticed that he has received TOO MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS that I cannot read
due to his PRIVATE feedback choice.

I contacted eBay just today asking them about this, but haven't heard back
yet. I have purchased from Barry in the past and have never had a
problem. I'm glad that I've waited to send the money though. Perhaps he
was just overwhelmed by the volume of auctions and had gotten behind.

Would you PLEASE keep me updated? I got a bad feeling about this and
that's why I waited to send the money and why I contacted eBay today. I'll
let you know if I receive a response to my email messages to Barry.

Pete...

I purchased approximately $600.00 in video's and have not received any. I
have e-mailed him several time to no avail. Yes, I have become quite wary
of these transactions...

Yes, I am quite puzzled in regards to this matter. I sent him an e-mail
early last week and he said that my item was in fact shipped on February 15
and that if it did not arrive by Tuesday (March 5) to notify him. I have
sent him several e-mail's in the past few days and have not gotten any
response. I decided to check his feedback and noted many negatives, but I
could not read the feedback. The seller decided to make it private. I
requested his name and phone # from e-bay and tried to call, but no one
answered the phone. I also noticed that he is not selling any other items.
I spent approximately $40 for a rare hard to find video and have not
received it. I do not know what the problem is. I wish he would respond or
explain. It seems as though he has had a long relationship with e-bay, and
that he is not a scam artist, however I have not received any explanation as
to why this is happening. Please keep me informed as to what forms of
action you are taking. Thank you for your e-mail. It is good to be able to
communicate with other disgruntled buyers.

I received your email about the seller "The Barry". I also noticed that he was relisting the same item over and over again. For example I won an item with him on 02/05 and the same item , or similar, was relisted the next day. After that bidding ended it was relisted for a third time. I have already complained to ebay about this seller as well as the National Fraud Information Center at www.fraud.org.

Hi, I too have been a victim,no response to e-mails sent nor have I received
the video tape and its been over a month. I too will dispute the charge w/my
bank.Thanks for the info, regards....Mike.

“…Thebarry sent an e-mail to me on 3/1/02.
The e-mail talks about a creditor placing a lien on the estate holding the movies and the court has ordered thebarry to halt shipments of movies.
The e-mail goes on to say this should be resolved within 30 days…”

I RECOMMEND THAT APPROPRIATE ACTION BE INITIATED WITH THE AGENCIES THAT CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH ISSUES SUCH AS THIS.

i understand how upset you are(and rightfully so!), but posting peoples "real" names is against board policy and can earn you a warning.....

i know this was inadvertant and you wernt trying to break any rules.....just giving you a heads up!

I'm also pretty hacked with eBay. What's this business of leaving his feedback private even after he's been suspended? And why does eBay allow someone to close their feedback from the public while they have outstanding auctions?

It is any user's right to take their feedback private. You can do it, I can do it, and thebarry can do it.

And why does eBay allow someone to close their feedback from the public while they have outstanding auctions?

There are a variety of reasons why a user might rightfully choose to take their feedback private. I suppose that hiding negative comments is the most common reason, but it's not the only reason. eBay allows anyone to go private, at any time. eBay cannot force a user to keep their feedback comments "public". Most users view hidden feedback as suicidal, I know that I would never bid with a seller with hidden feedback, regardless.

Besides, only the actual comments themselves are hidden, anyone can still see that thebarry received 100+ negatives in the last week.

I think it's safe to assume that the negatives all have to do with non-shipping. What info could be in the feedback comments that would actually be helpful to you?

We too were a victim of this seller and have established a web page to establish a database :

 Hum? Looks Like a BIG B-Day Gift for Barry. Now...I must let you know that this MAY be a person that is a victim of I.D. theft. But, it's a great lead for the local police “Chief of Police: John Popadowski

 I did NOT get the above information from ebay. They will not provide this to me or any other users. I haven’t even been able to call or talk to anyone at ebay.

waaaaaaay too much personal info there......

Making Losers of Auction Winners

By JENNIFER 8. LEE
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/07/technology/circuits/07FRAU.html

http://www.spankoz.net/ebay_auctions.htm
 
Spankoz Australia

The first thing to be done is to have the PO Box sealed .

I am extremely cautious of any transactions I make on ebay today. I am sure the honest people outnumber the dishonest, but the ratio is rapidly changing, in my opinion.

I research all previous transactions before I bid, especially if the items value is $20.00 or more. I have been overall quite successful with purchases on ebay, purchasing items with a price of as much as $1800.00. It is the few "losers" that ruin it for most of us.

The bottomline will always be "buyer beware".

I am cautious when I buy, but felt confident when I checked his feedback and saw over 17,000 positive feedback postings (actually 23,000+ actual positive comments total) and very few neutrals or negatives. I take "buyer beware" seriously, but at what point do we feel safe in bidding? How much more feedback does a seller need before a buyer can feel safe? If it isn't 17,000+ then what? I contacted Ebay last week and they expressed concern and encouraged me to file a fraud report and contact other agencies which I am in the process of doing. But even though it won't change a thing, I wish I could find out what on earth happened with this guy. How could a seller amass such a huge amount of positive feedback and then have this happen.

Call to get a form: (312)814-3000, or download and print one from:

http://www.ag.state.il.us/consumer/file.htm

I'm still kind of shocked, though. My business with this guy in the past has been nothing short of excellent --far exceeded my expectations as a seller.

However, I've got over $100 at stake here.

Don't rely on eBay (remember, they believe all people are basically good) or the USPS (they'll just send a letter to the person) for any help with this.

These videos were from a $10 Million bankruptcy. There were offered to an associate of mine for 1.3 million.

From what can piece together Barry got involved with this at some level. Perhaps the people he was dealing with weren't happy with their cut.

Also, Ebay clearly states that all product has to be on hand. This wasn't the case. This sale lasted over a week. The fact that the seller had an Ebay store and a high feedback rating also fostered false confidence.

Ebay is responsible for this as well as Barry. This was no fly by night sale. HE also used his Ebay store to promote the next big sale which also bought him some time.

Anytime a seller makes $300,000.00 in sales in such a short period of time it should set off some flag on ebay and someone should look into this.

Where are the site safeguards?

If ebay does nothing about this scam and lets us all fly in the wind they are going to get a ton of really bad word of mouth and publicity over this.

Not too mention that some of us should group together and sue them along with Barry.

I am not a happy ebayer today!
