Seller - Won4the$

Grands Fonds · Feb 7th, 2007, 02:52 PM

PLEASE members! DO NOT buy from this seller! I have been in a dispute with him for over four long months now, regarding an eBay purchase - PLEASE do not give him your business!!

Mods, you may want to add this seller to your not recommended list.

Oh No!!!!!! Let me at him!

Moviegirl325 · Feb 7th, 2007, 02:55 PM

Thats terrible, GF!!! Hope everything works out in the end for you!! Paging the MODS!!! I hope you don't mind me asking, what happened???

CobaltBlu · Feb 7th, 2007, 05:27 PM

Thine enemy is mine enemy, GF. Shall I add a gypsy curse as well???

Gosh, that's too bad - he has a stellar reputation on the scarf boards, and I had an excellent experience with him as well on eBay. If you had asked, I would have recommended him highly.

Well, I purchased something from him that took 4 MONTHS to arrive, even though I had paid for FAST shipping (he claimed there was no tracking number provided - and that would be because he sent it regular mail), then when I recieved the item (finally!) it was in terrible condition, when the auction had nbeen stated as "MINT". I have had correspondence with him regarding sending the item back to him and obtaining a refund - so I sent it expidited back to Spain, and when it was delivered, he refused to accept it - so it was sent back to me!!

His correspondence has been exceptionally rude and abusive.....I believe, having done some research that I probably should have done prior to the purchase, that I am not the only one who has had a bad experience with him. Flossy and 24 Faubourg I believe have had complications as well (they could clarify this?)....

Anyway, from my experience, he is a terrible seller, and I would not recommend him to anyone!

Thanks for the info on won4the$

I have never purchased from him because his prices are terribly, I do remember that he posts some sort of "guarantee" on his Ebay listings (which would lead me to believe that he walks on water), so good to know , thanks for sharing

FINALLY we have a way of holding these sellers accountable!! Thank you GF, I have been keeping a private list, based on the Ref thread and other posts like yours. Maybe we all should!!

bugger! i won one of his auctions for a rare scarf:

eBay: Hermes Silk Scarf CLERC la poursuite 1958 orig issue (item 140074334655 end time Jan-20-07 06:18:51 PST)

the description is "THERE IS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE TIP OF ONE OF THE DOGS TAILS" -- well the bloody thing arrived yesterday with big HOLES there, and also in a section of the scarf that he didn't show.

wish me luck . . . will let you all know how it goes trying to get my money back.

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with won4the$, GF. Yes, I did have a less than wonderful experience but I would rather not elaborate on the board for many reasons. Anyone interested can just PM me instead.

jag · Feb 8th, 2007, 12:13 PM

FYI ladies- we have added won4the$ on the avoid sellers list for obvious reasons.

coco-nut · Feb 8th, 2007, 12:22 PM

Excellent. I've read so many shady stories about him in the past year. It'd be a shame if someone who's just getting into Hermes had a bad experience with him.

24, Faubourg · Feb 8th, 2007, 01:13 PM

I'm glad you did that, jag. And FYI, Flossy also had a bad (very bad) experience but I'll leave it up to her to elaborate, if she wishes. I also know someone else who was continually harassed for months, maybe even years.
