Buyers Beware Avoid Shawser61 Possibly Fraud

Ok! I bought a Denon DCD-S1 player from Shawser61 on Dec 20th. He hasn't shipped the player and no tracking uploaded by Dec 31st. He also stops responding to queries on Audiogon.

It's possible this seller is fraudulent in nature and a scam / con artist. I have contacted PayPal about this seller also.

Whomever thinking of dealing with him, exercise extreme caution.

Audiogon now blocks the seller information and you don't know where they live, their contact number and their direct email address. Pay Now button will take to PayPal website direct and all the seller information is hidden from buyer.

While his lack of responsiveness is classless, it IS possible that he is away for the holidays.

Doubtful he is away for the Holidays. He posted another ad on 12-27-2012. At the very least, he should have sent you a tracking number.

Sorry to hear

For me it could be 2 things

-my last recent purchase seemed to get funny as soon as I made payment. Seller stopped responding to emails, he had a phone number in another item he was selling and did not return two calls. On my third call to him I reached him and he said he had responded to my emails. I later checked and sure enough the new Audiogon system never notified me of his response and they were not sending him all my emails.

- your seller could be suspect, recent member here, 11/15/12' single feedback with another member who signed up the day before him. 11/14/12.

I would contact Paypal and you should be covered by them, since he can't show he delivered the item to you with a valid tracking number.
