Scott,
I don't know if you're still on here or not but you haven't been answering any of my emails. I have filed a claim with Paypal and would like if you could refund the $315 that I sent you for the lens....as you never shipped it.
Thanks,
Matt

@dfresh - I sent a PM to Fred regarding the situation.
I'm not sure what is going on here but it looks like I'm being scammed.

I wouldn't think a scammer would take the time to mark a lens sold, they would try to get others to double/triple pay for the lens. Hopefully there is a good reason though and you get it all worked out.

@eddie:
Sorry to see this happen in FM - I have a lot of respect for fellow FMers.
I hope this delay was due to some sort of mis-communication rather than a scam - either way I'd hope that you won't lose any money.

Shoot me an email if you want Eddie, I'm located in the same city as he claims, and while I really don't know what I can do, I might be able to do some local checks. I might be able to locate the local police numbers as well. I live right next to one of them.

I have a lot of respect and faith in fellow FMers but every now and than someone does show up whose main aim is to rip ppl off. My case is pretty interesting. I bought a 20d from someone here and got it in 2 weeks time and exactly as described. Six months later I bought a canon 24-70 from the same guy and he stopped responding after two weeks. When I contacted other people who had bought stuff from him, I found out that he had done the same with at least one more FMer. After waiting for a month and 10 days I filed a chargeback with my CC and got the money back. I did contact Fred over it but he never resplied back to me

Folks,
a quick update on this issue. I purchased the Rebel XT body in this AD, sent payment via Paypal, and then the e-mails stopped from Mr. Craig.
I filed a complaint with Paypal on 11/6. Mr Craig sent me a PM through the FM website saiyng the camera had been shipped and provided me a UPS tracking #.
Today, 11/9/07 at about 2:45PM PST the camera arrived via UPS as he stated.
I don't think he is a scammer afterall, but I was very concerned during the entire time. The lack of e-mail respone from Mr. Craig left me with a bit of doubt.
FYI, the camera is in great condition; in fact it looks better than in the photos.
Good luck to everyone involved.

Leon,
Glad to hear that you received your camera! I still haven't heard ANYTHING from Mr. Craig....and this situation is getting very old. I filed my Paypal dispute on 11/05 and haven't heard from Mr. Craig at all. We're going on 2 since I paid him and I have heard nothing. I tried to give Scott the benefit of the doubt but this is being turned over to my credit card company for fraudulent activity. All I wanted was the lens that I paid for OR a full refund, I don't think that is asking too much....or being unreasonable.
This is NOT the way to do business..

Just a note for everyone: No, I am not a scammer. I am just a guy who has been having a hard time communicating with my buyers while I have been out of town with work.
In the case of Socalastro, I was able to ship the camera body the same week he paid for it, but I should have done a better job of keeping him up to date on the fact that I was out of town.
In the case of eddiejclayton, I had a heck of a time dealing with his shipping address. This is not his fault nor was it mine. Fedex, UPS, and USPS all refused his address information. I tried both online and in the store/post office. He could not provide a secondary address, so I was stuck. I have shipped hundreds of items before and never had this problem. I again faulted by not keeping him up to date. He was not completely in the dark though, as I was keeping him up to date on the problems I was having up until the middle of last week. After that I had limited internet access until today. I checked with Fedex today before refunding his money, and they now "magically" accepted his address. His lens is now on the way, and he has been informed of the tracking info. I have offered a partial refund in order to make up for the trouble. I think is fair since it has taken 2 weeks to get it shipped.
This was really a matter of circumstances, and I apologize for any trouble this may have caused.

Hard to believe you were somewhere that far away from a computer and couldn't log on to FM and send a PM. Appropriate feedback ("neutral", in this case, as it's the harshest option we have available) needs to be left by both buyers. This is FM, not eBay, and we're all expecting a bit more mutual respect and above-board communication here. Sorry, but that's the reality.

All,
Indeed Scott is NOT a scammer it was just a series of unfortunate circumstances. I received the lens today and couldn't be happier with it! Scott has offered me a partial refund which I am very grateful for.
Thanks for a heck of a deal on a very nice lens Scott, though I must admit you gave me a good scare.
