Anyone know ebay seller sadie2703??

[achantl]

I pre-ordered a case of 2012 Sterling from her (got it for right around 1600.00) and was worried initially as well (I never pre-order from eBay). I made sure I was within the 60 day window. My product arrived and I had a great case. Very interesting to see what comes of this. I was thinking about buying more from them but now makes me pause.

[Davesportscards]

So should I send her this message?

"I noticed your feedback has been set to private and your auctions have all been ended. I've been in contact with some others who have recently ordered from you, one of which said he never received his case of sterling. I'm a little worried about my pre-order now. Would it be in each of our best interests for me to receive a refund? I have ordered from you numerous times in the past and have always been satisfied with the service, shipping and prices. Thanks."

Ok, I don't have Word on this laptop and am having huge issues. I'm going to try to just copy/paste over. We had multiple back and forths on two seperate items so I'll try to do it in timeline. Read from bottom of post upwards, too much work to flip them around plus I wanted complete transparency.


Dear sadie2703,I would like it shipped please. - jmscoggin

Dear jmscoggin,I do not bust wax. I buy from two local card shops their excess. I will do whatever you want, if you want me to ship Wed I will, if you want me to refund I will..I am easy to work with but sometimes circumstances do happen. Just let me know what you want me to do. Thanks Sadie- sadie2703

Dear sadie2703,Look, as good as your feedback is it is a lot of money. I have purchased and received a ton of items during the holidays with no issues. You told me these would ship out on the 19th and yet they still haven't. What am I supposed to think. I am losing money each day I don't have these. The breaks have already been selling as have your singles. You've had time to break your own and list them but not time to ship mine that I had paid immediately. I purchased with you because of your feedback but you aren't living up to it so yes, I am serious". What would you think if you were in my shoes?- jmscoggin

Dear jmscoggin,Are you serious, look at my feedback, I am not here to rip anyone off. I did not know the UPS was not running today. They will ship Wed . I did not create the delays with weather holidays and etc, I am sorry for them , but they were well beyond my control. Thanks Sadie- sadie2703

[jmscoggin]

Dear sadie2703,There were only 5 possible shipping days? Why is it that I have purchased and received countless items in this same time span? Why is it that you said that you would ship out today but didn't? We aren't talking about a $5 card but a $2400 purchase. I would be moving Heaven and Earth to have gotten that out on time. All I get are excuses and excuses. I don't want a refund I want my cards. If you don't send them I will make sure everyone possible in the industry is aware of what you are doing. If you just happen to be that unlucky than send them tomorrow first thing and give me tracking info. Go ahead and try to sue. Defamation is by spreading lies. I plan on telling the truth with your own words and excuses to prove my case. Why was my stuff not shipped out first thing in the morning? The emergency room is just one more excuse. You sold the items too cheaply and are trying to get out of the deal. I promise you that if you do that I will tell as many people in as many places as possible. Do not turn this around on me to try to make me the bad guy. I gave you a large amount of money and you told me the items would ship on the 19th. It is now to weeks later and you still haven't shipped and are full of excuses.- jmscoggin

Dear jmscoggin,I do not know by what you mean act this way, I have been at the emergency room with my son since 2pm. The remarks you made are totally lies. Do you realize I did not change the relase date to the 19th, Topps did. Do you realize there has only been 5 UPS shipping days since the 19th. 20,21,24,27,28. It takes 2-3 days to get to me from distributor, there was one day with a weather delay. I guess I picked you out of all the 6000 people I have shipped to to scam. Be very careful what you say, I will file a defamation suit so fast it will make your head swim. No one has tried to scam anyone, you are just totally unreasonable to legitmate delays. Paypal notified me that you want a refund, it will be done in a matter of minutes. Thanks Sadie- sadie2703

Dear sadie2703,I don't get why you are choosing to act this way when your feedback is so good. I still don't have tracking information and you have not responded to my earlier message. If the cards do not go out today then I am not only filing a criminal case but I am also going to open threads on Blowout,FCB,SCF and Beckett and inform them of the situation. I also will leave a scathing Ebay feedback about the way you do business. There is absolutely no reason that my cases would not have been shipped by now other than being scammed.- jmscoggin

[jmscoggin]

Dear sadie2703,How on Earth have you done this many transactions and are still this clueless? Threats? You have not honored your end of the transaction and have given me a string of excuses. I just want the items I won and that I paid for immediately. You screwed me out of the items as well as my corresponding Ebay bucks. I just informed you that I would be letting others know this is how you do business. That is not a threat it is called FEEDBACK and is neccessary when people like you do bad business. As I said before, I don't get it. You have been a good seller it seems before this so why have you chosen not to honor these sales? I am still giving you the chance to just complete the transactions. I am not threatening you or being hostile. I just want the deal completed. It isn't a threat in any way shape or form to let other buyers know if you are dishonest. I am sure Ebay would be unhappy to know that you are not honoring your sales either. This seems to be your m.o. though. Do something wrong and when called on it you try to turn the tables. Unfortunately for you, I am not an idiot and see right through it. Bottom line is that you had two listings. I bid and I won. If the price was too low than you should have had a reserve. I did not tell Paypal I wanted a refund I told them I wanted my items. I told you the same thing multiple times before you refunded me. They took the money because I paid for the items TWO MONTHS ago and you still have not shipped or provided tracking info. Make no mistake, if this is how you leave this I will make sure to tell as many people as possible. I frequent multiple sports cards forums and unfortunately these types of dealings are more common than they should be. When they do happen, members post what happened and most members stop doing business with the offender. Please do a bin for both items at the price I had originally won them for. I will pay right away. You can ship right away and we will put this whole thing behind us.- jmscoggin

Dear jmscoggin,Yeah Ebay asked me tonight if I was receiving threats, this will be a good one to forward to them, along with your others. You are the one that contacted Paypal, when you did they took the money out of my account and that was it- sadie2703

Dear sadie2703,I received the refund and thank you. I still feel that you were stalling to get out of sale due to selling price. If I am wrong then sell me the items again for the same price and get them shipped tomorrow. I know that I am right though because I did not ask for a refund. I have asked you multiple times in the last three days to send the items but you haven't. Like I said, if you do not honor this sale I will make sure that every forum that I am a member is aware. I will also be informing Ebay.- jmscoggin

[jmscoggin]

This is the main gist of what transpired. I never heard back from her after this last message. I also found out after that Paypal offered to let her send the items or they were going to force a refund to me. She chose to do the refund. Deal with her at your own risk as these are just my experiences in the only deal I've tried to do with her. Really pissed off as I was big time looking forward to this and passed up other good deals to go with her.

Wow, I have always received my pre-orders from her either the friday, or saturday of the release...I don't know where she is getting that she had to wait 2 days to get the item in question???? That seems off to me. She has always shipped on release date in the past. IDK, maybe I should just send her a message asking for a refund, or contact ebay to find out what is going on with her. Thanks a bunch for posting the messages.

[jmscoggin]

Was nervous about preorder and this amount of money and in the three weeks sent about three messages just making sure we were still on the up and up. The following is generally how it went. I started to get worried around release date when she refused to say how or by who they would be shipped and already started making excuses about delays (holidays,weather).


Dear sadie2703,That works for me. Thank you for the quick responses.- jmscoggin

I asked her this when she said it but can't find that link. In my experience people always have them in hand day of release. I started to worry that she was selling something she couldn't get but her feedback and good communication kept me hooked.

[calculusdork]

Going to have to agree with those who said it ... she was running a Ponzi scheme.

this seller also has a website:

Funny how everything for sale is presell. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Kind of makes one think. I would ask for a refund and run. Too bad I was at the bottom of the pyramid and missed out but at least I recovered my funds.

[mt27]

Ordered a case of Bowman Chrome from her. Price was about $54/box which I thought was insane, however case had a Skaggs gold auto and the 001/150 Billy Hamilton blue refractor auto.

[michael84]

weird here names on private and none of her listings show up?

Hang on a minute while I scrape my jaw off of the floor! Thankfully, I only ordered '12 Draft cases and had no problems at all. I'm at a loss for words as I loved the fact I could get into cases at $100 below others. I always went directly to her site to see her pricing. I guess "too good to be true" pricing was just that. It all makes sense now. I'm sorry to hear that the endgame scammed numerous collectors including many from BO. Good luck with everything.

[Davesportscards]

Well, I sent her this message....

"I noticed your feedback has been set to private and your auctions have all been ended. I'm a little worried about my pre-order now. Will you still be shipping out my order on the 30th? I have ordered from you numerous times in the past and have always been satisfied with the service, shipping and prices. Thanks."


Let's see if I get a response....

Just struck gold with this thread. Have spent some of my free time the last few days trying to compile info on Sadie2703 after things started going south. Very similar issue I'm having and just now thought to check on here. Cliff notes...

-Preordered several Sterling football cases
-ordered from her in the past w/no problems
-emailed her a while after the release date kindly asking for status, no response... communication was always great until this point
-checked her feedback comments, saw that a few people had received their Sterling cases and left positive feedback
-emailed again, no response
-went back to her feedback a day later, now set to private and unable to view her listings... she had a LOT of listings the day before and only 1 negative feedback comment that was more than 6 months old
-noticed she went from 1 negative comment in the last yr, to 8 within the last month

My recommendation is to file a PP case immediately... signs are pointing to the fact that she knows she's doing some Shadie stuff & is trying to cover her tracks.

[Tugarpj]

Preordered a case of Five Star for a really good price and got it same day as my blowout cases.

Wow, I'm sorry this has happened to you. But at the same time I'm glad there are others coming forward about this! She's always been a good seller for pre-orders and picking up singles for my sets. I messaged her on ebay. If she doesn't reply by sunday night I will be contacting ebay first thing monday morning.
