I recently won an original Bukimi Kun card from a seller on eBay. The card was great! I love it! I asked the seller if he had anymore - he said yes and sent me a picture of two more original Bukimi Kun. Well, I received my package today to find that the two cards enclosed were 2014 new release Bukimi Kun. I emailed the seller and he denied any responsibility even going so far as to blame me. Even after I paid more than the asking price to cover his selling fees.I found out today, to my horror, that the picture he sent me was from the following website: www.garbagepailkids.org/bukimi.htmWhen I asked if he had anymore for sale - he sent me the picture of Janet Planet and the number 102 - clearly seen at the bottom of the Bukimi Kun page in the above link. He simply downloaded the picture to represent to me what he had for sale and sent me 2014 Bukimi Kun - I have been "bait and switched." The Seller: Real Name: Jimmy Mallery Location: Great Britian Ebay Username: casiokid77 EDIT: Not to be confused with the UG member TheCasioKid - two different people.

Yes!!! Eric and I have confirmed it.
The Distorted Dot bk I bought from Jimmy Mallery was the same card that Jimmy bought from Eric. So Jimmy sold the card to me...the card that he never got from Eric...

I suspect he's used my name or similar on his eBay account to lead people to believe that it's me. What a massive idiot !!! Thanks for that Jimmy Mallory . Not

Jeremy - did you make the purchase through eBay or Paypal? Have you filed a claim for either one? Let us know how it goes - man, you have not had good luck with international deals - I feel for you, I really do brother - hope all goes well for you!

Thanks, Grant! It was through PayPal as payment for goods and services. The items were never on auction with ebay. In the message to seller section I even put "payment for original japanese bukimi kun." Surely PayPal can discern what between original japanese bukimi kun and the USA 2014 release... I'm really hoping PayPal will back me up. This was such a case of bait and switch. We already know the guy is a pos considering his transaction with Eric.
Yes, I have had some really bad international luck lately: resealed LPB1 packs AND bukimi kun bait and switch. It has certainly started to affect my joy in the hobby, which I hate to say. I know these things happen, but damn these last 2 situations with crooked sellers has taken a toll. I'm still collecting but only with certain people that I trust. This is just so shi*ty - twice within a two month period.

Yeah, you should be in the clear with paypal since you paid as goods. This is the big gamble that you take when making purchases internationally. I have been rolled over a decent amount so i know your frustration jeremy. I try to make international purchases and keep the overseas scam to a minimum, but i have even been screwed over by long time contacts! Its very sad when you cannot trust many people. I hope all works out with a refund and do not let this discourage you from collecting. As most know these are the downfalls in the expensive sport of collecting Foreign GPKs

Thanks, Keith.
I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days. I'm so glad that I paid as goods and services. My last fiasco (resealed packs) made me realize that buying internationally and paying as friends or family is pretty much signing away your right to dispute.

This keeps getting better and better! I was looking through emails with Jimmy Mallery. In one email - I asked him if he was "TheCasioKid" on the UG...
His response???
"Yeah that's me"
Unbelievable

The scammer and TheCasioKids are two different people - despite the similarities in the names.
