Avoid selling and buying from JacobC at all costs. He was the most difficult person to deal with. Sold him a BROKEN computer AS-IS and he tried to get his money back after he opened the computer and tried to fix it himself and damaged it more. He is a liar and not worth dealing with.

I just noticed this quite recently. In regards to this guy, three of us guys bought it to repair ourselves, and found out the problem wasn't as the seller claimed it to be, when we took it to Apple. So obviously after buying the part and such, we were upset and didn't find it fair. Before we chose to open it up ourselves we brought it to an Apple Genius and he told us it would cost $1,200 to repair a broken Powerbook, because the previous owner (this guy) had messed with it, and opened it up many, many times. Obviously it wasn't worth it to is. Had to end up selling it AS-IS on eBay, and the above seller kept harassing my buyers and telling them it wasn't worth it, and I had to go through 3 or 4 buyers to finally get someone who would pay.

And I am certainly not screwing with anyone on this forum, here's my eBay user link: eBay My World - happylad

I've been an eBay member since August, 1999, and have a perfect, stainless record.

I rest my case.

I bought a Mac Pro from Michellelane71 and everything came exactly as described. Very quick shipping as promised, and very easy to reach by email. I just wanted to say thank you.

I purchased a Dell Mini 9 netbook from XJ-Linux and it was a flawless transaction. The unit is in like-new condition, equipped exactly as he described and shipped promptly and for a very fair price. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him as a seller.

Hi all,

Just finished a deal on a small mixing desk with Fov. Excellent communication throughout. Met up at arranged time. Excellent to deal with.

Would definitely recommend to others, and deal with him again.

Bad Seller: BadHabits

We agreed to a trade - he was going to trade his Snow Leopard DVD for my Wireless USB mouse. I sent the mouse to him in mid-October. He promised to ship his Snow Leopard DVD at the same time. I wasn't in a hurry to get it so I gave him time. On 11/6 I received a message saying he's been busy but that he shipped it out and that he left the tracking in his car tomorrow. Since then I've tried contacting him several times via PM and email, all to no avail.

He told me he'll be busy because he's moving, but in my opinion there's no excuse for not ending up his end of the deal a month and a half later. I wouldn't deal with him again even if he does end up sending me the disc.
