His ever-so-cute Ebay name is cotton_candy_is_yummy , which speaks to his level of maturity.

Denny Stephenson bid on a pinball item I was selling, won the item and then went dark. Of course, no recourse to a seller on Ebay anymore, even though they tell buyers that bid "you are agreeing to and entering into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller" and that "you are agreeing to and entering into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller".

I know Ebay and buyers like this guy suck, and I know stuff happens, and I know I should have just sold it anywhere but Ebay. Don't need any "suggestions", just want to vent and let the pinball community know that this guy is trouble. And so is Ebay, but we already knew that.

I feel better now.

And Denny Stephenson, if you are reading this...(I think) you are a deadbeat bum.

No levelers. It was $400+ for a WH20 Playfield.

It's probably a great idea to check someone's feedback when they pop up early as a bidder. The good thing is, this would have ended a lot worse had the transaction been completed, given his feedback. Seems I am not the only pinhead that has had issues with this guy.

Depends on what the "purpose" is. Ebay has decided that buyers are more important to them than sellers, so the playing field is tilted completely in favor of the buyers. The inability of the seller to effectively warn others of bad buyers has been taken away.

Sorry, but you'll see below that he is buying pinball parts from a fellow Pinsider, and may be buying from you too. A public "call out" for cotton_candy_is_yummy is necessary for any seller that cares about his Ebay rating.

In my case, this guy actually left the following feedback for me, just today:

"Seller never sent item. Person is equivalent to a piece of road trash!!!"...and I can't touch him.

Of course, if one takes the time to look, this guy just seems to have really really bad luck on Ebay. Here is feedback he's left for other sellers in case the link doesn't work:

1. Never received. Seller refused refund. Avoid this scam artist at all costs!!!!
