SELLER WARNING - UKRAINE Sergiikrav /volodymyrkrav EBAY

Post by donk_316 » Tue Sep 16, 2014 11:38 pm

THIS GUY:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/sergiikrav also known as http://www.ebay.ca/usr/volodymyrkrav and now http://www.ebay.com/usr/liberator42wla

I bought a fender from him. Cant take paypal because its Ukraine, so I western union him some funds. No problem. Everything arrives. All good. He asks me to cancel winning bid on auction so he doesn't have to pay fees. No problem. I understand 3rd world countries aren't very rich so every penny counts.
I make a deal on a battery box and a chain guard with him outside of ebay. Again with the Western Union but this time to his wife in Moldova.

2 months later. No parts and no response to emails. Hes still selling on ebay... Ofcourse in hindsight it all looks crazy fishy but I was trusting. Totally my own fault.

That's twice now I've been burnt with European Sellers in 4 years.
Flathead Harrys in Germany and now this guy.

I unfortunately made ​​some bad experiences with Sergigrav. I bought from him a complete set of nos short and long spokes for the front wheel, same settlement as it has donk described. the package arrived but I missed the rare short spokes complete and the Long spokes were wrong! I was once in touch with him and he said that the short spokes were probably stolen by the post ..... and christmas is now in july!
Then I never heard from him again. Conclusion:money away and items with scrap value. Stay away from this vendor!!!

If anyone have a set of NOS short spokes for me, it would be great to hear from him.

Donk,

What you should had done is had him list the items on ebay for sale to you for a buy it now and then sent him the WU money order to see if he was on the up and did it threw ebay? I bided on one of his items and cancel the bid fear on losing my money as well. I think he won't rip you off threw a ebay sale due to the fact that's this his only way of to keep selling.

I agree Craig,
My problem was that this would have been the 3rd deal I made with this guy. Im out $365 USD but im more pissed at the lack of integrity on his behalf. In the beginning I thought something had happened to him!

Thank God this bike is pretty much done and I don't have to deal with this again on purpose.

Did anyone report him to ebay? Seems his usual operation is asking everyone to cancel the transaction so he can skip the fees. Granted it doesn't help you get your money back but maybe they can at least ban him (for now...) by showing his requests to get out of paying fees.

Funny that ebay flagged you as the "inconsiderate buyer" - you'd think red flags would rise on ebay's part that a lot of his buyers happen to withdraw. By doing so, you also lose ability I believe to give negative feedback. Win-win for him.

I know ebay they are monitor emails threw the ebay emailing system to catch people on the buying and selling going on out side of ebay.

I purchased a set of NOS WLA rear wheel spokes from a guy here in the states which I had contacted him threw the ebay channel and we had to use caution when doing it, Then again I bided on other sets and lost out and decided to just see if he would sell me a set out side of ebay and he did.

If your not happy turn him in? but by the same token they might monitor your actions as well? I can't turn him in, it has to come from a buyer of his.

Well as per usual the eBay site is terrible. I reported his relisted fender as fraudulent and other related accusations. Ill have to wait till I get back to Canada before I can call eBay directly.

Vlad finally emailed me back and said:

"Hello. Sorry but I'm in Moscow for a long time. The post office didn't answer" which is con artist speak for "F-off"

So I reported him for selling out of Ukraine while being in Russia... Or Moldova.

I work internationally and have friends in Ukraine, Moldova and Moscow... Love to hunt this guy down.

Dodgy seller says
Cant take paypal because its Ukraine
Well that is not true as any form of currency can be deposited into your bank account, if anything they will charge a conversion fee. I guarantee if one was to do a tourist thing in Ukraine any one would be happy to accept US $

What I would do is phone eBay or Pay-Pal and reports it direct to them including his comments on his listing about Pay-Pal being unsupported, your money is gone but you may save some other buyer, he has 100% feedback and surely all that is not from cancelled sales paid by Western Union.

Can't see how it is anything to do with ebay :!: You did a deal with him outside ebay so in this case -- no protection--. Sometimes life is like that... having said that he is obviously one to avoid

The only thing the ebay customer service office is good for is de-listing your item because it might be offensive to the inhabitants of Dik-Dik Island or some stupid politically correct entity! :shock:
