Buyers Beware Avoid Shawser61 Possibly Fraud

Sorry to hear

For me it could be 2 things

-my last recent purchase seemed to get funny as soon as I made payment. Seller stopped responding to emails, he had a phone number in another item he was selling and did not return two calls. On my third call to him I reached him and he said he had responded to my emails. I later checked and sure enough the new Audiogon system never notified me of his response and they were not sending him all my emails.

- your seller could be suspect, recent member here, 11/15/12' single feedback with another member who signed up the day before him. 11/14/12.

I would contact Paypal and you should be covered by them, since he can't show he delivered the item to you with a valid tracking number.

There is a good chance he has not gotten the emails through the audiogon system. I was corresponding on a deal recently and was wondering why I had not heard back for the seller. I never received an email and only after logging in to my page did I see the seller had responded. This has happened a number of times. Audiogon is nuts now. They don't want you having personal contact because they want to make sure they get their cut on the deal. It is backfiring now and what was supposed to be a safer system for both the buyer or seller is just a fiasco that is worse than ever. Have you noticed how many fraudulent ads are posted lately? Wilson Sasha speakers for 8000.00 lol

The system is breaking down as the above poster notes.This isnt cool anymore with Big Brother involved.Wish some good guys would take over instead of these bean counters....

I also had problems with a buyer not receiving my emails via the Audiogon system. Once we figured it out and took external action the transaction went smoothly.

The last deal I was involved with was never finalized thru the system. No mention of payment sent/recieved, no mention of item sent/recieved, no feedback , nothing. I got the item and the seller got payment but nothing came thru the system. I'm getting wary of using the new system.
