What have you been doing to AudioTek to deserve that treatment?

Please think before you post. I resent any insinuation that WE did anything to him (other than report the facts here)!

All I did is bid on an item, win the auction and then pay quickly! No threats or nasty emails were made(and I'm sure the same can be said for several others here).

And at least we didn't bargain with the thief, promising to post favorably for him on the boards!

You are getting a lot of bad publicity on the DIY Audio Forum... Do this right & I shall post the good news on the DIYaudio forum.

NEVER! That would practically make one his partner!

Just count yourself lucky-You got the upper hand(this time). He must've just shipped yours before he was shut down (and can't use that account anymore to collect)!

Respectfully (please),

-Chas

If it is luck we are talking about, then it is also possible to think that they had an employee that decided to run off with (some or all) the merchandise on his way to the post office and did it for a week before they realized it.

I wonder if it is something to do with my complaint that they had packaged the mosfets in an ordinary plastic envelope. Which I did report to this Forum.
They sent the two 10uF MKT that I bid for, along with 8 replacement FETs and four more Nichicon caps, but FW(M).

They seem to be a subsidiary of
Schuyler Technology CO LTD.

Which leads to www.diyzone.net?

I would take the chance again, if they dont ship there is paypal protection, dont agree? Dont buy, unless you think its your mission as ebay police.
I appreciate these forums warning people of scams, but jesus you people are insane, relax a little bit

For those who don't know,Paypal protection only apply if:
The seller's eBay feedback rating is at least 50,and at least 98% of the seller's eBay feedback is positive.
So beware you insane people

These are references to the "Ponzi" scheme", no doubt...

Mine wasn't a pyramid scheme but reference to a large laptop computer outfit that went down a few years back. At the time I think it was the largest scam of it's kind that ebay had. Here's some google stories about Liquidation Universe.

You write like you have some knowledge of the seller...or is this some kind of wild guess? To my knowledge the seller only stated that their "account was stolen".

Hmmmm.... I've heard that name before:

Dx in Taiwan was sued

So maybe they haven't just had bad luck the last 6 months!

That's one honest scammer. Sent a package after the store is shut down by ebay. Who would have thought! :-)

I can't help but wonder where he could "fence" all those stolen DIY goodies!

That was in reference to the comment of being lucky. And it is a wild guess. I have no knowledge who runs the company. I just discovered early on that their kits were diyzone (meaning good stuff) stuff and that's why I purchased stuff from them. I even got a couple of those gigantic PEH169 22000 uf capacitors and a ladder balanced stepped potentiometer (never seen them elsewhere) before they ran out.
