Watch Out for HAPPYPRETTY10 the eBay CHEATER

There's a guy on eBay who lives in Japan and has a yen for Punk Rock t-shirts. He likes the Sex Pistols. He likes all kinds of cool stuff that comes from America and Great Britain. It makes HIM think he's cool for having it.

Only he doesn't usually want this stuff at a fair price. So he goes on eBay and if the bid is too high, he puts in last minute bids to find a bidder's maximum. Then he retracts the one bid that's over the maximum. Ha ha. His competition must pay a huge price. Or fight with the seller and maybe the seller will re-list. And this Japanese sandbagger can try and get it for the price he wants.

This guy also has the habit of bidding high, and then deciding he can play his bi-weekly game of "it never arrived," stiffing the eBay seller. Ebay rigs it so that unless the seller can prove delivery confirmation (which is hard to do with overseas sales), the seller is stuck. STUCK. Like STICKY RICE.

HAPPYPRETTY10 has PRIVATE FEEDBACK. Pretty fucking inscrutable, right? It helps him hide what he's bid on, and his smelly trail of retractions, and any angry comments eBay sellers may have given him (that's all they can do, as eBay does NOT ALLOW EBAY SELLERS TO LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.) PS, this creep is a feedback extortionist who will easily leave negative feedback if it suits his wily goal...which is to get vintage punk rock t-shirts and other items dirt cheap or free.

You'd think a company as big as eBay, which owns Paypal, and which routinely buys up companies for millions of dollars, wouldn't need to keep a sleazeball bidder around who turns off so many people by making the auction site look crooked. As of this writing, HAPPYPRETTY10 is STILL a member in good standing!

Hard to tell, since when this Japanese creep stands, he's only about 4 feet tall. But let GILBERT tell you some jokes about him, and then, read a typical example of what this eBay creep has done!

  3. the photo used on Gilbert's jokes is NOT Tomiaki Hotta. The photo should be removed as it is misleading and you are tainting the innocent man in the photo.



    Tomiaki Hotta has the blog http://newoutput.exblog.jp/



    And on Yahoo Auctions he sells with the name PONJP1005



    And on eBay he buys using the name 2011LADY1990 (his other accounts have been closed down). Be sure to block him.
