Hi all,
I am new to this Forum and joined to buy two watches from panaitchrono. However he has taken my money and now will not reply to me, I have not received the watches. Has anyone else had any dealings with this person? Unfortunately I paid by bank transfer so I have no recourse.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
Many thanks,
Charlie

 

I suggest you contact one of the Mods if you have concerns.

 

This is the guy who "sold" the moonphase on eBay and then listed it here isn't it?

Paging @DLT222

 

You are correct. I have a sneaking suspicion that he has re-registered on here using a different name. I don't have alot to go on but I know he is from Romania and have some bank details.

 

He's registered as a business on ebay, so his address details are there... might be worth grabbing those before he closes that account too..

 

just for the record then - from Ebay:

Thanks everyone, I am passing the info i have to DTL222
I still hope to find a nice PO soon but now its going to cost me double. maybe next year...

 

If you have the name and the bank account i advice you to go to the police. Give them also the conversation you had with him.
If you and others that had bad experiences with this type of sellers don't do anything they will keep on doing the same thing, "robbing".
I'm a seller and a collector from Romania and I am having troubles in my sellings because of crooks like him. I've build my reputation and a crook destroys it.
I can help you with informations of you need to translate or get phone numbers from Romanian police.

Ps: buy the seller!

 

Thank you Zaytsuca, I have sent a PM with all the details.
I would appreciate any help you can give on this.
Many thanks,
Charlie

 

Watch is up for sale on Chrono24 now...

Can you report the seller on Chrono24 without dealing with them? Perhaps a link to this thread so he doesn't rip anyone else off.

 

yes, you can, and I have - wouldn't hurt if a few other folks did the same too though, just to push the message that this guy is a scum bag.

 

Done

 

Wow his last 10 reviews on eBay are pretty astonishing. How do they let him keep his account?

 

That’s such a dramatic turnaround in reviews that one has to wonder if his account hasn’t been hacked, or maybe the business has been taken over by someone with fewer scruples.

 

Or he padded the account by selling lots of low value DVDs to get good ratings... and then started ripping people off?

 

Possibly, but it seems he had at least a couple of legit watch deals before he went rogue recently:

 

(Though let's not talk about describing a box from 2004 as "vintage".)
