To further clarify the intention of this thread, it is to document and report on this individual's unreasonable buyer behaviour to relevant current and future sellers and to help them make an informed decision on how to deal with this buyer should they end up doing business with them. This thread and the discussion contained within is a direct result of and solely because of this individual's words and actions in the marketplace and if they wish to not receive any more negative publicity then they would be advised to cease their activities and/or modify how they do business with market actors (i.e. sellers).
If you ever plan on selling any game demo related discs like PlayStation demos or somewhat related things like game console utility discs and Game Shark/Action Replay discs, then you need to read this.
The summary is basically this: A buyer is going around on eBay, Amazon and probably other marketplaces, purchasing and paying for demo discs and related items. A few days after, they will open Item Not Received or Return cases while also sending you multiple wall of text emails. The contents of those emails are basically 1) You have no right selling game demos; 2) Please ship the items ASAP, 3) Please refund me in full ASAP; 4) If you don't do as I say, you will go to jail. For potentially many years, they have possibly been receiving free items and in addition, they may also be selling what they allegedly stole. If you search his username on Google, you will find his Amazon account, as well as complaints by other people regarding his behaviour (possible mental issues).
The relevant information regarding this buyer is as follows:
Name: Nicholas H. from California USA.
eBay username: planetnick72 ( https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=planetnick72 )
Thankfully, they were deregistered from eBay very recently. They have given many sellers many unjustified negative and neutral feedback in the past - these feedback have been wiped since their deregistering. Even the positive feedback itself they have given to sellers are suspect. Their previous username was sarge1260.
As for me, I had nothing to lose because I delayed shipping their items due to detecting fishy manner/acting from them. Then I tried to talk some sense into him/entertain him. What I got back was pure insanity as shown below. In the end, I got bored of his repetitive talking points. Note also that he had a separate PayPal case opened at the same time. While this case was ongoing, it seemed like even eBay was tired of him so he became Not A Registered User. Finally, I was also in contact with another seller (found via negative feedback) who was also dealing with the same issues at the same exact time so he was obviously trying to scam multiple people at the same time.
So if in the future, you end up selling a demo disc to a Nicholas from California that behaves in a similar manner: don't ship the item and do report him. Eat the possible negative feedback. Better to get a negative feedback than to get a negative PLUS lose your item/money.
