I thought that same thing Bud, but you don’t really advise that in Florida....we have a bad habit of shooting first


It is not a bad idea to contact the Sarasota sheriffs dept and ask if they have a fraud unit regarding sales and such?

If he is selling things under false names that is not legal. Not sure about the mechanics of the enforcement but I’d start there

I don’t know why you are angry with me. First of all the address of vendors is not available on eBay. Neither is their real name only the city. That would be four hours one way. I definitely would not involve the police department over a $40 plant. They have better things to do. Apparently you don’t know what eBay is all about. They have rules to protect the buyers from unscrupulous sellers. That is why they have a money back guarantee. Your anger is better directed at sellers like this one. My only intent was to make unsuspecting orchid growers aware of this person so they don’t get burned.

I am not sure who your comment is directed at about being angry but I it is me, I am definitely not angry and was certainly not trying to come across as such. And I am very sorry if I did.

No one is angry at you. Find the box or the Paypal order receipt and the real name and address is there. Even if it is merely $40 it is still fraud and it is a criminal offence both local and federal.

I talked to PayPal (which is owned by eBay, so it's essentially the same as talking to eBay), and the guy I talked to said that yes, it's too late to open any kind of dispute, but he did say, "We do monitor all accounts and do take action on accounts when necessary. Unfortunately I am not able to discuss anything that may be happening on those accounts." Which may be him just blowing me off because there's nothing they can do, or it may mean that they are investigating marblekg.

For the last 12 months, there are 1000 positives, 5 neutrals, and only 3 negatives in the feedback profile.

Yeah, he's got a pretty clever scam going here. He lists popular plants that he knows people will buy, then he sends them whatever he has, and the plants look good when they arrive, so the buyer leaves a positive rating. After a couple years when the plant gets big enough to bloom, and the buyer realizes they didn't get the plant they ordered, there's nothing they can do. They can't go back and change the positive feedback rating. So of course most of his feedback is positive. It takes a year or two before people realize they've been had.

No, do not contact Ebay or Paypal….if you log in to your Paypal account, you can trace your receipt and invoices you paid by date....and on the receipt you paid for the item from Marblekg…..you will see the real name and the address of the seller.

And leave a flaming paper bag of dog poop on his doorstep? That sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't think it will help the situation much. I did notice on my PayPal invoices that the name of his operation is Gary's Orchids.

There is, and I've done it before, and it's complicated and I don't remember how I did it. You go to the search settings, and you can exclude certain sellers from your searches, but as I recall it was not user friendly and it took me a while to figure out how to do it.
