This seller has a 'good' reputation on the scarf boards because seller himself has been a member on the boards and has been masquerading behind a mask as someone else while touting his goods on the board/s. &

As I'm a member on all the scarf boards, I recently only learned about this seller's mess not too long ago and apparently because of this, one of the scarf boards has to be taken down. OMG indeed!

I wonder what Harper Collins has to say about this .

Oh wow. What a hot mess.

People like this make me sick. They ruin the joy of collecting, AND the joy of buying and selling on eBay. Not to mention the fact that they're liars, thieves and harassers.
I hope this guy gets a really bad case of panty ants followed by boils on his arse followed by persistent rash and then possibly poison ivy.

Oh gawd, it freaks me out everytime I hear 'news' about eBay sellers.

I purchased some Hermes stuff twice from this seller. First time, I purchased a scarf that took ages to reach me. The seller claimed that it was sent to another address by mistake. It was a complicated story. Anyway, I was lucky that I finally received the scarf in one piece.

Second time, I purchased some scarf booklets. I thought they were written in English (by default) because the seller never mentioned anything about the language. Maybe it was partly my fault that I didn't ask any question. It turned out that the scarf booklets were written in Spanish.

Okay^^ this is creeeeepy!! - As of course I had also read about him, fabulous jetset life, book tour, kiss-kiss etc. on other boards too.
And it sounded so enviable to be one of his special "friends" - when now it looks as if they were fabricated?!?!?
A shyster like that really need to be "exposed" -

Definately a boycott in order!!! -- So sorry for GF to have this hassle - But thank God for credit card charge backs!!!
Mmmm - maybe as he travels from city to city on his book tour, tpfers can innocently ask (through his publishing rep) about the damaged goods he touts.

pursenality - that sucks! He IS spanish, and is based out of Spain, so that's most likely why. I notice on his auctions he has three locations, including Palm Beach, thesedays. What a wanker!

For the record (so everyone knows) his book is "Bringing home the Birkin" - I recommend you don't waste your money.

Shoot! Is he the reason why I was asked to rejoin the new scarf board?! I don't have time to read the posts so I have no idea why the old board was shout down. Seriously the guy must be delusional or a con artist. Why else would anyone want to create an entirely OTT identity?

Really? I thought it was someone else that was causing the scarf board to be shut down?

I have mentioned previously that I did not care for this seller. I feel that he is basically dishonest and the merch. does not match the description.

Same with me, and I didnt know thisi was at the heart of if. This is the second time I have heard him connected with that boards undoing and redoing.

GF: Talking about the book, I did receive an e-mail from him though about this a while back. I remember vaguely that he wrote an article about Hermes and it was published on the internet?

I am wondering if we are referring to the same scarf board? I was asked to re-join too. I haven't lurked into to the board for ages so I totally have no idea what's going amiss.
