bigbabboon makes more names - warning

haven't been on here in a while, but i thought i would look up the latest on the bigbabbo ripoff and low and behold, i found a crop of new names he is using to rip people off with on ebay.

ebs1948

benzmats

if you look up the user address, it is the same as bigbabbo. payment address is the same too, its right in the auction page. eec auto parts which is what bigbabboon has used all along.

its pretty funny, one of them has 38 feedbacks with one neg already -for the same things he always does- and he replies to the neg exactly like he would when he was using bigbabbo, same guy for sure. check it out.

i was not sure what is going on with this thief, but i was shopping ebay for parts and found this and thought that i would post a warning to not deal with this guy or any of his personalities on ebay.

remember his old standby 'benzbaron' too.

he probably has even more fake names on ebay, but this is all i have time to look for.

Well, nice to see someone still keeping after that theif.

Still haven't gotten back on ebay because of him. Thanks to that POS my 577 pos feedback is down the drain. Never cheated anyone, always shipped everything, was an honest seller, but because I complained about this seller, I get banned.

One of these days, someone who has more energy than I will get screwed by bigbabbo.

Thanks for the tip on BigBabbo!

I'm so happy this board exists because I was just about to bid on a part for my 300D and thought I'd check here for the seller's name. Turns out he's the dreaded BIGBABBO!

I'll make sure to avoid this guy like the plague...

You'll be glad you didn't buy from that thief in the end.

Try Fastlane or Rusty. They may cost more, but you're actually get your parts, so in the end, they cost less for what you get!
