DESPERATE CALL FOR HELP!
On Tuesday, May 12th I sold 50 Flag Orders on eBay to a buyer for $100 and shipped them to him the next day, May 13th.
He then asked me if I had a list of other FOs for sale. I told him I do not, but that he could send me his want list and I would look and get back to him with the ones I do have. At 7:13 pm CDT on May 14th I received three emails from him with three separate file attachments containing a total of 2,558 FOs! I worked through the night, spending the next 18 hours checking to find out which ones I had.
On May 15th at 1:20 PM Central Time I sent him a list of 565 pages of FOs that I had. Three hours later I received a reply confirming that he would purchase them at our agreed upon price of $2 per page, for a total of $1130.00, but he said he needed time to get his PayPal funding in order. He asked me if I could hold off on listing them on eBay until he had his money together.
I replied that I could. In the meanwhile, while I was waiting, on Saturday, May 16th, the buyer received my shipment of the 50 Flag Orders that I sold him on May 12th. (USPS tracking confirms this.)
On May 18th, he told me he had funded his PayPal with sufficient funds to do the big purchase of 565 FOs for an agreed-upon price of $1130 + $5.50 shipping via USPS First Class Package. I listed them on eBay that evening at 7:12 PM Pacific Time. He bought them 7 minutes later.
He next emailed me a list of dozens of HCOBs and asked me if I have any of them. (I do not, and even if I did, I would NOT have sold them.) In the same email he indicated he was interested in buying Base Orders, as well as Flag Orders issued for the Royal Scotman and Avon River, IF they were authored by Hubbard. I replied that I did, and as before, I indicated that I would get back to him with my lists. He asked me to hold off on shipping the 565 FOs and indicated that he wished to have everything shipped together.
On May 20th at 9:21 pm CDT I listed a bunch of Base Orders for sale for $200. Twelve minutes later he bought them.
On May 21st at 9:11 pm CDT I listed the Royal Scotman and Avon River FOs for $100. Fifty three minutes later he bought them.
At the buyer's request, I shipped all three sales together as one package on May 22nd. The buyer received my shipment on May 30th -- 8 days later. (This is an unusually long time for a package to get to California; the delay was caused by the US Postal Service who misrouted my shipment from Dallas to Atlanta and then to Memphis, when normally packages go from Austin to Dallas to Bell Gardens, California.)
That same day, May 30th, the buyer opened 3 refund requests. He alleged to eBay that I sold him photocopies. I advised him that they are NOT photocopies, that they are EXACTLY as described in my eBay listings. I attempted to reason with him, but he is firm on wanting all of his money back. He has now opened 3 cases against me to force me to refund his money.
The trouble is that I no longer have any of it. At this moment I have a grand total of $110 to my name. (I spent all of the $1430 within 2 days of my sales as I was running 2 months behind on my bills.)
I learned from eBay's high value claims department that EVERY TIME there is a simple ALLEGATION of "counterfeit" items being sold, they come down on the buyer's side. I have no recourse.
If anyone can help me, I am asking that you send money to my PayPal account: markplummer@austin.rr.com. If I don't come up with $1430 to refund the buyer it will affect my search placement, selling limits, and other factors.
If you do send money to me via PayPal, please use the feature of sending money to friends or family. Doing this will not cost any fees to you or to me.
Thanks for your consideration. Please help me if you can.

Dang Mark! This smells like an OSA tactic or operation to get you off of E-Bay. Certianly it's a prima facie case of fraud where some doofus who is just going to copy what you send him, make a stink, and in essence get it all for free. 
Will e-mail you.

I agree, Tom. I pointed out this possibility to eBay, and it doesn't matter. A woman in eBay's high value claims department stated to me that any time there is an allegation of counterfeit items being sold the buyer AUTOMATICALLY gets his/her money ba…

Hope the Underground Bunker picks up on this as a worthy new $cn abuse story -- their audience is huge.

Scientology strikes again. If I could help I would. Yet another reason why I despise this cult. They do everything they can to destroy people. If you are not like them, they try to destroy you. I am sorry this is happening to you.

Whoa--that is a sucky eBay policy! It encourages this sort of abuse.

Have you done any digging around about the buyer?

Would it help if one of your former customers with a pretty high rating went to bat for you?

eBay is all about the buyer, which is why I am so careful there. I have learnt never to spend the money for at least a month as well. Don't give up, keep stating your case to PP, perhaps even send them physical evidence. What a shit of a situation.

Beth: I agree about it being a lousy policy. One eBay support person (Arielle) told me I could appeal. Later, a lady in the high value claims dept. told me she was sorry I was given incorrect information. I appealed anyway. Her reply was:
"I definite…
