Complaint Review: Black Swamp Aka Nicholas A Knowles

I bid on two auctions on ebay. The EBAY user ID is topawakester@gmail.com. I received confirmation from e-bay that I won the auctions. Then I received invoices from this seller to pay. So I entered by credit card information to pay. I received 2 invoices and only paid for one because the other invoice was a duplicate. This was all done on 12/15/06.

I immediately e-mailed this seller at bent226@gmail.com which was the e-mail address on the confirmation for auction won from ebay. I wanted to inquire about receiving the Abercrombie & Fitch coats before christmas as they were christmas presents for my sons. I didn't get any response.

I emailed Ebay to find out the seller's contact information. I called the number listed for this seller. The number was disconnected. I continued to contact the seller via e-mail. Still no response.

Although, I only purchased two coats which was on one invoice for $388.04 but the seller charged my credit card for two invoices (transactions) one for $388.04 and the other for $200.12. The company that charged the transactions was "Black Swamp" from ohio with a telephone number of 419-478-7607 which was disconnected.

After I saw the charges on my credit card I tried once again to contact the seller. I also sent another e-mail to ebay explaining to them once again that I have had no luck in contacting the seller. Ebay responded to inform me that this seller was suspended and that for legal purposes they could not tell me why.

I received an e-mail from bent226@aol.com stating that he has been very ill and apologized for not contacting me. So I responded to the e-mail stating that I was overcharged and didn't receive any coats and that he needed to credit my account. I haven't heard anymore from this seller.

I contacted my bank and they informed me that this company "Black Swamp" was on the rip-offreport.com website. So I immediately cancelled my credit card.
