Anyone here at HH who has had a claim filed against them by Martin Levine (either as windsoreyes or windsoreyes2) for SNAD (not non-receipt claims), please contact me via PM with the following information (if you don't mind sharing it with me):

 

1. Your eBay userID at the time of the claim

 

2. The email address on your PayPal account

 

3. The date he filed the claim against you.

 

4. The PayPal transaction number associated with the claim.

 

5. The dollar amount of the claim.

 

6. The end result (you had to refund, he withdrew the claim, etc.)

 

You can find this information by logging into your PayPal account and going to the Resolution Center. You can view closed cases as far back as 18 months. To get the transaction number, click on "View case details" for a claim and it will be the long number in parentheses as part of the title.

 

I will compile this information and forward it to the Fraud Division at PayPal, since I have an open dispute with him and have initiated a fraud investigation.

 

If you know of any discussions concerning Martin Levine on other trading/selling message boards, please let the membership there know as well, along with any other people that you know have been hit by him. If they are not HH board members, they can email me the information at webmaster@heavyharmonies.com.

 

I need information ASAP.

 

Let's get this crook.

 

Thanks,

 

-Dan

What an absolute shit. I honestly don't see how he's able to do this over & over again. You would think that at some point someone at paypal would notice that he's filed a ton of claims & flag his account as a scammer.

Well, it takes being proactive to be able to put a stop to people like this. Right now, only one person has sent me any information. If this is going to work, it's going to take more people coming forward... I'm sure that in the eyes of PayPal it's going to take more than 2 to create a pattern (I don't have faith that PayPal will spend a lot of time on this scouring through histories unless I can hit them with enough people to catch their attention).

The problem is, they only look at peoples history when a claim is filed against them.

They dont look at the history of the person filing the claim.

Even then, they will probably only look for non-paying strikes against someone, and not how many claims someone has made.

Its a shitty system on there, as we all know, and its only getting worse. Sellers have little or no security, which is a joke.

That makes absolutely no sense...I mean how difficult would it be for them to check & see if someone has made numerous claims & is abusing the system? I'm sure all it would take would be the press of a button.

well, I received the cd back that he wanted the refund for...and he actually sent the right one back...and it does not skip....which was his complaint....I think either he did not like it and wanted his money back, or he copied it, then wanted his money back....either way I have to refund his money, but I am gonna take every second of the time ebay has allowed me to do it....not gonna hurry at all...but this will be the last of anything he ever gets from me....I am also going to be contacting all the people he has bought from, gonna take me some time, but I want to warn them what they might get if they choose to deal with him...I am sure he is gonna rip some of them off too...and they are not aware of this thread so maybe that will give dan the numbers he needs...some of them have to have some similar experiences....the good news is I got offered more money than he spent for this cd, right after the auction ended, so I will get my cash back....thanks dan for the help with my ordeal...and best of luck on your situation....MIke

I guess I have been lucky. My last auction was the first one, he had bid on. I cancelled his bid and blocked him. Thanks to the tips from the HH members.

That's probably exactly what happened. Still, what a scumbag.

Because of copyright infringment, why would PayPal make you take a CD back? Especially when the buyer can copy it and then claim fraud. When I worked at the music store, we had a strict policy about returns of cassettes or CD's and they could be returned for exact same item only.

Back in the day a buddy of mine would occasionally buy a cassette, copy it, cut the actual tape, and return it to the store saying it was defective and get a full refund.

      Alien - When Yesterday Comes Around

      By Stefan · Posted

      New album ''When Yesterday Comes Around' out March 21. From Pride & Joy Music: Alien is a Swedish rock band that has been a cornerstone of the hard rock scene since 1986, known for their melodic hooks, powerful guitar riffs, and the unmistakable voice of Jim Jidhed. Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, the band quickly gained recognition both domestically and internationally, building a legacy of powerful albums and unforgettable live shows. Alien’s self-titled debut album, released in 1988, introduced their melodic hard rock style to the world establishing Alien as one of the standout bands of the late 80s hard rock scene. ”Only One Woman,” one of Alien’s most iconic songs which currently has almost 6 million streams on Spotify alone, became a massive hit and achieved gold certification in Sweden and dominated Swedish radio charts. The song also performed well internationally, receiving heavy rotation on radio stations in Europe, the US and Japan pushing the band higher into the global spotlight. Since then, the band has released several albums, the most recent one, ”Into the future” in 2020, which acclaimed positive reviews for its modern approach to the band’s established style, while still staying true to their melodic rock roots. 2025 marks a comeback with a new rcord coming out on March 21st, 2025 via Pride & Joy Music. With ”When Yesterday Comes Around” the Swedes take you back to a glorious time, but with a modern sound. Alien will also play at Sweden Rock Festival on the 4th of June, 2025 and will also embark on an South American tour in the fall next year. With a career spanning over three decades, the band continues to evolve and remain a vital force in rock music and the music continues to resonate with fans old and new. With a loyal fan base, a history of chart-topping hits and a reputation for delivering high-quality performances the band continues to tour worldwide and perform at major festivals and clubs. Their signature sound, a distinctive blend of melodic hard rock and AOR, has earned them a place among Sweden’s most enduring and beloved rock acts. The first single from the album, “If Love Is War” will be released in advance on January 10th, 2025. Line-up: •           Jim Jidhed – Vocals •           Tony Borg – Guitars •           Toby Tarrach – Drums

      Haha, yeah, this is a name I am surprised to see on the forum. I remember them from what must be 20 years ago by now, I think? Is this from back then, or are they still going? Sounds pretty decent, for them.

      Oh, wow. They're "interesting" music videos. I think I did hear somewhere they're doing a video for every song on the album, ay?
