His eBay account is roostas_wrestling_store Thanks for your offer, AdamBomb, but these figures will appear in German stores at the end of January, so I´ll get my Batista one way or another. Just wanted to have one as soon as possible, that´s the only reason why I bought it from Roosta in November last year. You're welcome man. I'm sorry you got screwed around so much. I nearly ordered an Evan Bourne from him around the same time, I definitely know now not to give him a dime.

I remember once he was trying to sell replica belts for hundreds below retail. I'm guessing that was not on the up and up.

I can understand that packages get lost in the post...it happens all the time, much more often than you think it would. So what he is saying about the actual service is true. However, when he willingly agrees that he will send out your figure if you close the paypal case and then you get that letter from him -- he clearly deceived you, the customer, & while his other sale practices may have went well with others, this just proves that he is not an honest seller. If I were you, I would not stop until I got what I paid for and I would certainly report that letter he sent you in place of what you two had agreed upon to BOTH Paypal & eBay. I've heard of the guy & have seen his feedback but what he did to you is completely shady business. And as for the guy himself, he is a liar, a scammer & an ass*hole just based on the whole letter & getting the paypal dispute closed for his OWN benefit.

I bought 2 sets of the basic mattel back in november from Roosta, i paid extra for x-press, it took about a week and everything i ordered showed up fine. i also work for the post office, and stuff from other countrys that is just regular mail takes forever. like a month or two, so it may still be on the way. the way i see it is, you get what you pay for. You pay for the cheapest postage its gonna take forever, you pay for the more expensive postage it will be here quick (like mine). Although i do think him decieving you is clearly wrong, and he should have just sent the 10 dollar figure to you.

thats surprising to me. i dealt with him back in the beginning of november just alittle sooner than u did. i ordered the whole basic series one. he gave me very quick responses to my questions and wen i made an offer to him he made a counter offer that worked out to actually be lower than wat i offered. then he even refunded me $20 because he said shipping them loose (which i resquested) turned out to be less money. i have my figures in about 2 weeks. guess i got lucky.

Most transactions goes fine when u buy stuff from him.

What a ing bunghole!! He evens lies around on eBay! Just watch his commentary... He states even there that he shipped the figure with the tracking code while my pictures clearly show, that there was no fig in it, just a ing letter from him: feedback.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=roostas_wrestling_store&&sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller

As expected, PayPal doesn´t do anything about it. They say, that I closed the dispute and that´s it. I should engage a lawyer. Yeah, great idea, I engage a lawyer who sues someone in Australia for a figure of 10 Dollars worth PayPal just sucks! Still waiting for reply from eBay or any reaction from Roosta after I invaded his board. My first posts were deleted yesterday, today I posted again and will do so until he stands his man

Hmm...interesting. Funny how you're the only one who can actually confirm never receiving anything form him dr...as this post seems to have attracted both local aussie attention and those in USA/Canada The guy has been around since 1999, I am a longstanding customer of his and what you're saying is EXTREMELY surprising. But seriously, how old are you dude? Its cool to share your story/experience, but I have heard a lot worse from other sellers (even those on here and those who actually POSTED in the thread)...and all you have done is abuse him. For those not sure what I'm talking about, check roostas forums; this guy is acting like a 10 year old by going out and posting abuse messages allover his forum, get a life man...Deal with the issue personally and privately. As yu can't honestly think all that abuse is gonna make a diff to your case do you? I have had a chat to him and i think i understand the situation, but i won't care to add to the abuse thread you seem to have spiraled into. I spoke to him directly on my order last week. Unlike most young kiddies who posted above, i wont abuse the guy based on 1 story. but if its true, wish you luck in the resolution....Please do yourself a favor tho - think about what you're doing, abusive emails and threatening posts over a forum achieves what?? Infact, let's see what others **WHO HAVE PURCHASED** from him say: I bought 2 sets of the basic mattel back in november from Roosta, i paid extra for x-press, it took about a week and everything i ordered showed up fine. i also work for the post office, and stuff from other countrys that is just regular mail takes forever. like a month or two, so it may still be on the way. the way i see it is, you get what you pay for. You pay for the cheapest postage its gonna take forever, you pay for the more expensive postage it will be here quick (like mine). Although i do think him decieving you is clearly wrong, and he should have just sent the 10 dollar figure to you. Sorry you are having problems with him. That's where I got my first 2 HHH's from and he was honest and helpful. The first figure seemed to get lost in the mail for a while as it was 4 weeks without any sign of it. I traded for it in the beginning of Nov and thought for sure I'd have it before Thanksgiving. But Thanksgiving came and went and once December hit without any figure we guessed it was lost in the mail. So we arranged for him to send me another for just the cost of shipping. And no sooner did he mail out the replacement figure the first one arrived the next day.(Mid Dec) Then the second one a week later. So I let him know it arrived and offered to pay for the second one also. And the second turned out to be cheaper so he sent me back the difference. So I don't know why you are having problems, but he was on the up and up with me. thats surprising to me. i dealt with him back in the beginning of november just alittle sooner than u did. i ordered the whole basic series one. he gave me very quick responses to my questions and wen i made an offer to him he made a counter offer that worked out to actually be lower than wat i offered. then he even refunded me $20 because he said shipping them loose (which i resquested) turned out to be less money. i have my figures in about 2 weeks. guess i got lucky. Most transactions goes fine when u buy stuff from him. that about sums it up. Along with my DOZENS and DOZENS of small and large orders locally, never a problem. i checked his ebay account to....1 negative feedback, JUST from you...As i post here, I'm keen to see what happens, so try dealing with it in a private matter and see if that works. Matt

I´m 31, I´m running a business on my own and I definitely will not take the scam he run with me.
Nice to see he send one of his henchmen and doesnt show up here himself, but in fact you missed the last two pages, here´s once again why I won´t rest until I either got my figure or my money back:
He relies on the fact, that I didn´t pay for insurance/tracking. As you can clearly see in the letter he sent me, he DID NOT offer tracking at the time I bought the figure from him. HE DID NOT, and now it´s my bad, when the figure doesn´t arrive? No way, my friend.
As you can see in the PayPal dispute and the eBay feedback . he clearly lied for his favor! In the PayPal dispute he posted the tracking code, in which a replacement should have been (it was HIS idea!), and he begged me to finally close the dispute, so I did, because I TRUSTED HIM! What I finally received was NO FIGURE, just a SIMPLE LETTER.
I have posted all the proofs, and yet you still defend this bunghole? He can send all of his henchmen to defend him, but that doesn´t change the fact, that he screwed me, that he lied, and that he violated rules on PayPal and on eBay.
If this guy thinks it´s better to offend me with such crap, than to just say "OK, it wasn´t right, here´s your figure/money and please excuse me!", than you can clearly see his character. I´m not going to repeat myself anymore, and I won´t rest until justice was done...

That ing sucks. I had one previous bad experience with an ebay seller but thankfully his dumb ass never got paid even though he sent me some foam signed title for free basically.. Not like I ing wanted that I was bidding and won on what I thought was a replica belt.. And recently I saw his ass try to sell the same belt I won for $600 buy it now. I hope no one else fell for it..

Wow. Now his henchman wrote me a private message, in which he suggested that I should literally crawl into Roosta´s ass instead of making his way to work public. Well, I take the second option. Everybody should know how he´s ticking. Roosta could easily contact me, trough eBay, through PayPal, through email or on this board. But instead he sends out one of his bootlickers to allay me, to even threaten me ("the post was reported to admins...").
Slowly it´s getting funny...
