I figured it out!

 

I had actually blocked HIM! LOL

 

I seem to remember him sending me a friend request a good while ago, and I evidently went ahead and blocked him so he couldn't look at my profile. Looks like I will have to unblock him so I can see his page.

 

Thanks everyone!

Yep. I can see it all now!

Let's leave God out of this. I somehow doubt He's going to inflict 7 plagues just because someone did a return on Amazon.

I agree, 7 plagues it way too much to ask. But seems to me just 1 plague would suffice in this situation. Something minor. Like locusts. "If thou is a jackass on Amazon, thou shalt suffer a plague of locusts within thy house, and they shall be ensnarled by the thousands in thy pubes."

Man, I laughed out loud!

Ergf.

 

1. Let's leave God out of this. I somehow doubt he's going to inflict 7 plagues just because someone did a return on Amazon.

 

2. If there is an argument to be had, I think it is more so with Amazon and their allowing a refund without the buyer having to return the merchandise, than with the buyer per se (see below). Has the seller tried to communicate with Amazon in a manner other than an online fill-in form, i.e., picking up the phone, to determine WHY Amazon did not require the return of the merchandise as they normally do?

 

Amazon, eBay... anyone who has sold there for more than 10 minutes should know that as a seller you are giving a 30-45 dey return privilege (depending on venue), REGARDLESS of what you have described in your listing. It's old news. It's one of the things you deal with as a seller. Rant. Rave. Move on. It's not going to change.

 

Most importantly: until someone is proven to be a repeat scammer (and I'm sorry but filing a return through Amazon does NOT constitute being labeled as a scammer), posting a buyer's or seller's private information here on the board is a no-no.

Dan,

Sorry if I have offended you or if I seem to be obsessing... (I am, I admit it.) I appreciate this site a lot, and I do not want to abuse my privileges here.

From their own statements, Amazon is NOT requiring that he return the CD, so it seems I have been burned on that end.

I have sent over ten emails discussing this issue with Amazon. There has been no answer to my satisfaction.

Looks like my next step is to do what you suggest: call.

As far as the God statement, I believe God is true to His Word. But I guess it can also be summarized in the statement "What comes around, goes around."

After all, not one of us is close to perfect.

Thanks, Dan.

I finally responded to the Negative rating on Amazon:

"Most perplexing selling experience EVER! Buyer complained front inserts were stuck together (clearly mentioned in description). Said not in Acceptable condition, but Amazon rules for Acceptable include damaged or even MISSING inserts! Kept CD, filed claim. AMAZON GRANTED CLAIM with no return of CD! Say what? Then to top it off buyer gives negative rating, our first ever. Amazon really let us down."

Then I gave my experience with him a "1" like he had given me (although I don't know who can actually see these ratings). Plus this was my explanation:

"If there is a worse Amazon customer, you would have to prove it to us. Buyer complained front inserts were stuck together (clearly mentioned in description). Said not in Acceptable condition, but Amazon rules for Acceptable include damaged or even MISSING inserts! Kept CD, filed claim. AMAZON GRANTED CLAIM with no return of CD! Say what? Then scamming buyer gives negative rating, our first ever."

I would have loved to say a lot more, but Amazon limits these comments to 400 characters (which I used completely both times.) Plus we have to stay decent and non-abusive! At least I got to vent a little on Amazon, even though the unjust rating stays intact, and probably no one can see the negative rating I gave this scam artist jerk.

Hell doesn't everyone have a Facebook, etc...

Nah, I dont think This guy does.

The link doesn't take me anywhere on FB? This is what I get:

The page you requested was not found.

You may have clicked an expired link or mistyped the address. Some web addresses are case sensitive.

Just got Bai Bang "Livin' My Dream."

Very solid at the start, but it tails off at the end (either that, or it just seems too repetitive.) Overall, a very fine collection of tunes, however!

I just clicked on my link that I posted and it went right to his 'Marty Levine''s facebook account.....

This is the note I get:

The page you requested was not found.

You may have clicked an expired link or mistyped the address. Some web addresses are case sensitive.

Looks like the FB page no longer exists, although there is a new account for a Martin R. Levine. Same person?

This is what my wife had to say about this. After all, I had actually shown her the stuck together inserts before I listed the item.

Romans 12:19:

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave itto the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

Watch out, Jakie!

I am totally pissed at Amazon right now. Someone in the claims department has poop for brains. No kidding.

They granted the claim of Jake Dowdle, butthead Amazon customer. They did not even require him to return the CD!

They did not bother to send me a notice. I had to dig it up on my own.

Then Jake Dowdle, butthead Amazon customer just slammed me with a "1" (Poor/Negative) rating, my first ever! And he got a FREE CD out of the deal! What a load of rubbish!

Amazon will be getting a daily email from me until this matter is settled to my satisfaction.

I am really burning!

Holy shit... total surprise to me too. How sad.

 

Probably moreso for the sake of how good Sargant Fury were, Threshold are one of the few prog bands I actually don't mind... great vocalist, and Sargant Fury's 'Still want more' is one of my all time favourite classic discs. R.I.P. And thanks for the music.

I agree right down the line with these comments.

hey rocker folk! after some setbacks with the hosting and other technical things, looks like AUG 31 is now our DEFINITE solid release date. Which is cool , because that allows me to get some more releases ready like BUXX and FORTNOX. The AMERICADE box set is going to kick ass too , along with the JILLSON (and killer bonus tracks) AND TRACER FOX CD's! Man, this is gonna be good......

Where's the "like" button? Oh wait, this isn't Facebook. lol

Still waiting for Amazon to tell him to return the CD to me. This is such an easy case. Why are they taking so long?

At least he's not 'hungry' with me, now I feel better.

 

Yes, it's the small victories you need to hold on to.

Dude filed a claim against me.

A couple of thoughts.

Maybe the customer has just had his fill of crappy packaging in overseas shipments?

OR

With his detailed description of how everything is to be done, is he setting up a bogus claim against Dave if instructions are not followed to the exact detail?

Just wondering.....

Yeah, nowhere in your description do you mention any water damaged to the inserts or wear on the jewel case. I'm sorry but it looks like you're at fault here.

 

Water = humidity in my book. Besides, it WAS severe humidity from a very damp basement which ruined some of my inserts, and I DID say the front insert was all stuck together and questioned whether separating them was possible.

 

Oh, and I definitely mentioned wear on the jewel case (recheck the description), although that is a minor concern.

 

The CD is completely fine.

 

But..... does anyone else feel I should have been more explicit?

 

I was being sarcastic. The level to which you described your item is second only to Koog's. Your buyer's an ass.

Sorry, man. I totally missed your point.... I feel like an I am just too fired up about this, I guess.

I explained that I would refund his money after he returned the CD.

This is the return email from good ole' Jake:

"No. When I receive my money back and the money to ship it back I will send it back to you. I did not make the mistake here. If you are not willing to comply, I will just make a claim with amazon and they will decide how to handle it.

Thanks,

Jake"

Does anyone else sense a scam here?

Doesn't Amazon require proof of return before issuing a refund? That's the way Ebay and Paypal are. Anyway, I told him to file his claim. If he files, it will be my first ever against me on Amazon. Guess I have been lucky so far.

Bad Amazon customer:

Jake Dowdle

XXXXX XXXXXXXXX XX [street address removed by mod]

SOUTH JORDAN, UT

Sold my copy of Bad Habit - "13 Years of Bad Habits" to this dude a few days ago.

Here was my description:

"RARE 2000 Virgin Records Sweden release. UPC 724384912925. CD in very good-excellent condition. However, inserts have suffered severe humidity damage. In fact, front booklet pages are stuck together. But that is why this one is priced to sell! If you are careful, maybe you can steam the front pages open? No guarantees on that happening, though. Anyway, this is a great opportunity to own this EXCELLENT music at a portion of the going price! Free First Class shipping upgrade and Delivery Confirmation included. Jewel case is intact but shows some wear. Sorry, but we can only accept orders from the USA and Canada. Canadian customers, please contact us before placing an order."

This is the email I received today:

"I got the Bad Habit - 13 years CD today. I will have to request all my money back (including shipping). This album is completely water damaged and unacceptable.

Thanks,

Jake"

Does anyone think my description of the inserts wasn't clear enough?

Looks like dude got himself some free mp3s, as right now I plan to refund his money if he returns the CD.

As an Amazon customer, he is now from my store.

Whoa...Anyone read the section of Bobby Blotzers book about Ryan?

 

I have it scanned to my computer but I can't figure out how to post it in the thread for everyone to read. Photobucket doesn't show up when I upload it.

 

Sure would like to read this, no matter what he has to say.

 

Can you PM me the document through HH? If not, PM me and we will exchange emails and see if somehow we can get it displayed.

 

Anyone else have any ideas on how to post this?

 

 

PM me your email addy. I will send you the file.

Please check your HH email.
