Hate to do this, but I wanted to alert members about a deadbeat buyer who is on eBay as ozzangus28 and on Facebook as Alby Mills.
Alby first purchased a figure of mine through eBay (Total Recall Quaid), and instantly sent a message requesting to wait 3 weeks to send payment. He did not ask before bidding, just bought the item then asked for a lot of time to pay. I went against my better judgement, but agreed to give him time and held the figure.
To my pleasant surprise 3 weeks later he does pay as promised. Sadly, less than a few hours later he tells me how he got into a lot of trouble with his girlfriend (since he used his girlfriends credit card) and needed a refund. I was not happy, but I agreed to refund and issued it the same day.
Later that same day, he comes back and asks if he could buy the figure on installments. Again, against my better judgement, I agreed but told him explicitly that I would accept installments on the condition that the first payment was a deposit and non-refundable:
To which he replied:
So, he sends the deposit on Oct. the 4th. Then today tells me he has car troubles and needs his money back. I have refused as he entered into an agreement with me and I intend to hold him to it. And now he has threatened to file a reversal with his credit card which he will most likely be successful in doing.
Anyway, long story short don't buy or sell from this guy. One of his other excuses besides the car is saying someone else has filed a claim against him for not sending an item... hmmm, suspicious

From Me: Okay, but on one condition. If you don't finish or ask for a refund I keep the first payment.
To which he replied:
From Alby: Okay thats a deal and very fair..thank you.. alby
