Does anybody on here have the ebay username....

[MoBe]

The testmonials by new members is a classic red flag and simply not believable.

Where are the testmonials from long time members of this forum?

I rest my case!

I have also been a close friend of Brads for the same period of time and have had many conversations with him about the ethics of the business as well as ethics in general. Knowing him the way I do, I have a hard time believing a lot of the negative comments presented about him on this board.

I am in charge of all things watches for a large jewelry business that is a public company and sells over 5,000 pre-owned watches per year. I would not entrust my business to a guy or company who even resembled these comments. I would and do trust Brad with most anything.

I know this is just another opinion out in the world but I hope it helps.

Well Mr. Larson, I recently sold Mr. Wenzel a Deep Sea Dweller Rolex to which was shipped to you (Dave Larson at 11816 Inwood Rd #12 Dallas, Texas, according to Mr. Wenzel's current (as of November 2014) Ebay account. I am not sure if you know what he is doing being that he has been receiving authentic watches from sellers and filing claims with PayPal for his money back and returning either completely different watches, watches with switched out parts, or no watches at all to the original listed seller for 5+ years now. I am currently in dealings with him as I have an Ebay store, but I also work for a law firm that deals with criminal, civil, federal and small business law to name a few so everything is being handled accordingly. I have reported him to Ebay, Appealed PayPal's decision and filed a police report all in a little over 12 hours of receiving a watch back that I did not send to him (as it was not received and signed for on my end until almost 6:30 p.m. last night). I have pictures of the watch I sent, as well as, the watch I received. Timestamped and all. I am not here to bash you, but just to inform you of his dealings. You can choose to do as you wish with the information given, but least I know you have been informed. Have a great upcoming holiday.

I don't know what to make of any of this.

For what it's worth 11816 Inwood Rd #12 Dallas, Texas is a PostNet sandwiched in between Inwood Donuts and Forestwood Florist.

I hope the good guys win this one....

(ALTHOUGH WITH PAYPAL YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED A PO BOX ADDRESS....BUT HIS WAY AROUND THIS.... IS THIS EAGLE POSTAL CENTER GIVES HIM A PHYSICAL ADDRESS) He is getting his mail at a PO BOX located inside of the Eagle Postal Center and when I realized this is where the watch was being shipped to I chose to get signature confirmation...being that the post office should not have accepted anyone else's signature except Brad Wenzel's correct?!?? .....WRONG! Mark Winstead is who signs for Brad Wenzels packages at this location....well then Brad Wenzel can claim that a package was opened and there was no watch inside or he got an empty box...so on and so on..... and then he automatically wins the claim with paypal...he has figured out a loop hole...and I PROMISED PAYPAL AND EBAY IF IT TAKES ME TO MAKE A EXAMPLE OUT OF BRAD WENZEL AND HOW HE IS FRAUDING SELLERS AND PAYPAL ALIKE I WILL MAKE IT MY POINT TO DO SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS WILL NOT END HERE I WILL NOT LOOSE MY WATCH AND MY MONEY LIKE THIS!!

IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER PLEASE I BEG OF YOU TO CONTACT ME!!!!!

I CONTACTED THE ADDISON POLICE DEPT. THEY WILL NOT TAKE A POLICE REPORT VIA TELEPHONE AS THEY CANNOT VERIFY MY IDENTITY! I AM ONE RELENTLESS CHICK AND HE HAS BUCKED WITH THE ABSOLUTE WRONG CHIC!
IF I HAVE TO GET A PLANE TICKET TO ADDISON,TX I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED!!! THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!!!!

I'm betting the "Eagle Postal Center" in not operated by the U. S. Postal Service. It's a privately owned business that provides boxes for a fee. If it was an actual Post Office the address would be "P.O. Box 159' Addison, Tx". Not a street address and a box number. People rent boxes there to avoid using their home address for a number of reasons. Most do it for legitimate reasons, or convenience. But it's certainly possible to use it for nefarious reasons. The postman delivers mail there, and they place it in the box. If a signature is required, they sign for it. They only way only the addressee can sign for it is by requesting, and paying a fee, for "restricted delivery"', which requires a picture
I.D.. The Eagle Postal Center is basically a Mail Boxes, Etc. no doubt. I'd hope PayPal would not allow a place like that as a verified address.

X2... I think you're assessment is correct.

I have never heard of this guy but I have run across a few scumbags in this industry. Every industry has its crooks and this industry is no different. What I have always noted is that crooked sellers often have a few people they have a history with and do repeated business with which they will continue to do good (but not flawless) business with. However, when it comes to new buyers or simply buyers they have no history with, they will not hesitate to do scummy tricks.

These members vouching for him could very easily be part of his good buyers who he supplies watches to, but it is also possible that he has quite a few unhappy and straight up robbed customers. The two are NOT mutually exclusive. Someone needs to supply the steady business which helps sucker in new sellers/buyers!

I called and he didnt post on the internet. Its not him. All these new posters vouching for the guy is a red flag. It appears we have a major SCAMMER on our hands. Buys watches and claims empty box, or switches strap and sends back or switches movement parts and sends back, or sends back different watch. He needs justice

My local police told me I needed to file a complaint with the internet crime center. The webpage is: www.ic3.gov. I filed my complaint last week.
