Default Another Bad Trader

Just giving anyone the heads up on a bad trader from E-bay. He is using the name Johnnybrown11. He bids on items , pay via Paypal then within 12-24 hours makes a claim that the payment was fraudulent. I know of at least 2 other people he has done this to and the item(s) have already been shipped. Good way to get models for free. He lives in Florida.

Once I was ripped off but a bad trader that lived in Tampa, FL. I also posted his name and its history here on DAC. His name / aka was TPA-SWA.

Mark, is it possible to ask PAYPAL for a refound ? Because you did the right thing and PAYPAL allowed him to do that.

Just my 02 cents.

I feel sorry for you Mark.

I think this guy did the same thing before to other people. I remember in DAC few years back some people complaining about a guy' scam and he was also from Florida.

This guy did rip off DAC fellow members Santos and LAX1983 along other people few years back by selling models and never shipping them to the buyer. Same crafty way to make profits.

HI Yuri,

The guy that did rip off me and Alexis lived at Tampa,FL. I am sure about that. But who knows. Maybe he moved to that place.


I feel sad about this kind of things. That was the first and last time I will be ripped off because from that time on I only got models from good sources.

I have already contacted Paypal and E-bay about the scam but as of now no response from them. As I found out he has done this to two other people who I have been in contact with and are facing the same thing. I'm fortunate it was only 1 model others have anywhere from 3-6 models.
