This seems to be a good and honest Ebay member. However, I found out differently. I found that this member has at least three ebay accounts, and uses all of them to raise bids on items he sells. (HUGE Ebay violation) Not only that, but the item that led me to find out all this is totally a scam. I'll explain more about that in the following paragraph.
At the time of this problem, I helped this website's (madhive.com) message board, and now I'm a moderator.
On this website you earn points towards prizes.
The scam item I'm refering to is when he sold a ton of points for use on this website. When registering with the site, you give them some info, such as your birthday. When you claim a prize, you must give proof of that info. If the info doesn't match that when you registered, you don't get a prize.
So, unless the buyer has the same birthday, age, zipcode, etc, they can't get a prize, making the auction useless. There's no way for the buyer to know this, but the seller sure did. He knowingly ripped off the buyers of these auctions.
*By the way, the person who sold the points
is user name mcwarn00 on madhive. (that'll prove something later)
This still isn't the bad part. This following paragraph was taken from a post I made on the madhive.com
message board, proving that dvdtv is also known as two+ other names, and uses them to raise bids. I
tried to edit it so people who aren't familiar with the madhive.com website could understand it.
*he sold the points under the ebay name mcwarn00*
At the time, the bid on this item was at $61.00. He didn't get a bid of 61.00, he was raising his price
under a different name. On Ebay, I did a search for listings containing madhive. There I found an auction just to get referals to madhive by seller dvdtv. (You also get points for reffering people to the site.) The page says,
"don't bid... just go to madhive.com and say Mcwarn00 refered you."
So if you see, DvdTv on Ebay = Mcwarn00 on madhive.
Now the good part:
Guess who's one of the bidders in the auction for the 2.6 million points by seller mcwarn00... dvdtv! So
while using the user id mcwarn00 on ebay to sell the points, he kept raising the bid
under one of his other accounts, DvdTv.
Not only this, but when posting this stuff on the madhive forum, mcwarn00 got the message board shut
down for a month or two while the staff tried to delete all his rude, obnoxious, and fraudulant posts
containing constant insults and swearing. None of these are violations, but definately not the kind of
person I'd like to deal with.
