beware of this individual

hello.my name is fabio.I am new to this forum. I am a reseller of butterfly products and have sold on ebay as well as my own place down here in Miami. I want to report a very unfortunate situation in which I found my self the victim of theft at the hands of an individual named albert huang,who resides in Diamond ba,california. he purchased a Zhang Jike super ZLC from me and immediately after receiving it put his plan in motion the rob me. he made up all types of excuses to get the item returned.made up a ton of lies and surprisingly Ebay sided with with.Ebay reimbursed him and today after almost 2 weeks I received the supposed item only to find an empty Arylate box with the Zhang jike blade and box missing. Ebay basically told me,tough luck.it is the price of doing business. I just reported this thief to IC3.gov and to Ebay. I now find myself $369 in the red which is a lot of money for me.I just wanted to make you guys aware of this individual so you wont fall prey of his thieving manners.thank you.

whats his ebay feedback? 

not looking good for you at all. I'm pretty sure you're the scammer. There's 2 different buyers of zjk super zlc blades that both gave you negative feedback. You're saying they're both liars?

I'm guessing the seller is at fault here. Albert Huang is a well established business owner, there's no reason for him to scam this relatively unknown ebay seller. plus there's no pictures showing the actual blade, which is an instant red flag to me.

Is it possible that somebody is using the name of albert to get back at him and at the same time get a free zjk szlc? I mean if you order zjk szlc you probably are a die hard hard core tt addict and, if you use for example hurricane provincial, you probably bought from Albert once...I think the OP should investigate whether the buyer is really Albert; a police report seems to be the right 1st step; did the op file a police report? if not, why?

+1, never had a problem and always replied to my e'mails. It looks like Fabini is the scammer from his ebay feed back.

But, assuming the item was payed for using paypal, it would be shipped to the buyer's confirmed address, which the seller can verify if it really is Albert's address.  And if it was indeed not Albert who ordered the item, Albert should have no knowledge of the transaction.  So if anyone here knows Albert personally, they should be able to find out his side of the story.

Hi Everyone,

Beeray1 informed me of this thread. Thank you Beeray1!
I did purchase a ZJK Super Carbon blade from an eBay account named maradoooo.

The seller's listing stated it was a new blade. When I received the package, the blade was unprofessionally shaven and the blade box was damaged... (He had shipped the package in a Ready Post Bubble Mailer, although his listing stated he'll ship out via USPS Medium Flat Rate box)

I tried to communicate with him via eBay message, but the seller insinuated to me that I purposely tampered the blade because of buyer's remorse. He was extremely rude.

I ended up initiating a eBay resolution case and sent picture proof and along with the audited eBay conversations that we had. After review, eBay offered to hold up the buyer's protection agreement. eBay also offered to pay for my return shipping. They provided me a shipping label which I had thought was going to a eBay return center. I returned the shaved blade in the damaged box in a corrugated cardboard box (not bubble mailer) to prevent any further damage.

I guess now he is going further insinuating that I did not return the blade...

1. I'm assuming he's mad because he's tried to sell the shaved blade advertised as new twice and it's been returned... along with negative feedback...
2. I've reported him to eBay for violating their user policy (false advertisement/profanity/threats) and they have warned him and it's possible they may suspend his account.
3. I also contacted Butterfly USA regarding his listings, because Butterflyonline does offer the price guarantee... and resellers online have always been subjected to (MAP - Minimum Advertised Price). Unsure if he is a reseller.

I ended up purchasing this paddle from my sources in China.

I've ran powerpingpong.com for many years now, always as a side hobby and not really much of a primary business. I apologize in advance if I don't actively participate in this thread as I'm not nearly as active on MYTT as I was in the past as now family and work and our newborn has most of my time.

Thank you all! I appreciate everyone's support.
