A lot of you may not know me, but i have been a member of the board for awhile now, done several transactions here, and been a loyal member of Horrorbid.com
I have an ebay account with over 700 transactions, 100% positive feedback. I am a Medical Investigator here in Virginia as well as a licensed Mortician. I have been in the horror community for many years and been associated/built several nationally known haunted attractions/promotion endeavors. All of this, while essentially irrelevant does build to my character to those who do not know me.
About 2 1/2 weeks ago i made a purchase from a forum user by the name of CHILD OF BODOM, real name Billy Henry, email brhenry@aysinc.us . Billy, the seller, promised next day shipping with confirmation. Long boring story later, Billy never shipped, never sent confirmation… and sent several emails stating that it was either shipped, or promised it would be shipped next day. I tactfully called Billy out of some of his inconsistencies in his correspondence, at which time i stopped receiving any emails or updates. I opened a paypal claim, which he has yet respond to in any means. It is possibly that there are extenuating circumstances surrounding this dilemma, but given the precluding events… it is unlikely. I felt all forum users should be aware. Another important detail is that the seller immediately posted wanted adds and made purchases with the money that was paypaled to him by me.
Feel free to message me with any info you may have on this member or just to talk… Thanks
my friend jonny almost got rear ended by this guy, he ended up coming through after many excuses a, a paypal claim and police threat. everyone be aware. sorry about this happening to you but possibly contact police and maybe that will light a fire under him.goodluck, hate to hear this happening to any of the good people on any boards.
Thanks for the support guys! It seems like better action could be taken to keep better wraps on people like this… I would have never even tried to buy anything from him had i heard even one of the stories a few of you mentioned… It just goes to further show the 50 post rule bites some people in the rump pretty hard some times…
I did a search for the name and came up with nothing. So either I spelled it wrong or people who were burned didn’t bother to mention it in the appropriate feedback thread. The feedback thread is there for a reason…it’s to protect all of us. You can be sure that if I had a deal that went wrong I would post every detail of it there so that it didn’t happen to someone else.
I do recall this person’s name coming up before as well, not sure where though, I recall that some people were not too happy and I think you are right that this person is a fraud and should not be dealt with. Banning him seems the right way to go for me.
Yes i agree, i searched his name and only came up with the typical jargon… commented on some of the artists works, asking questions… nothing bad. I just dont get why people do this stuff. Either way, i would like to see him banned, but after this problem is resolved (id still like to give him the oportunity to make this right)
It really does suck to hear these stories. I really don’t understand why I see it so often. Its like the story of the french kid. Makes me want to vomit. Sorry to hear about that bro, I hope you get your money back!
