Complaint filed by: Sjoh16851337

On Nov. 21, 2003, I purchased and paid via Paypal for 7 beanie babies from Paul Donisch. (pdonisch@yahoo.com) When he got the payment, he emailed me saying he would send them right out. That is the last time I heard from him. To this date, Dec. 16, 2003, I still have not recieved them. I have emailed him and he does not reply. I paid $32.05 for these. I see that Ann Aaron has also posted a complaint about this same person on traderlist.com.  I do not have a phone number or physical address for him since I paid thru Paypal. He has already collected the money from Paypal. I believe he is in Schaumburg IL. I have emailed him several times, and he never replies. I have saved all of my emails to and from him since the day we started this transaction, as well as my Paypal email reciept. Today I posted a complaint about him on traderlist, the BBOT, as well as filing a complaint with Paypal. Paypal sent me an email saying his response was that he sent them via USPS and that the tracking number was #USPS. I have never heard of such a tracking number. It sounds bogus to me.  He is evidently ripping other people off as I have read on your site. What can I do get my money back from this crook??? Any information you need, just email me and let me know and I will send you whatever I have. I look forward to hearing from you. He needs to be stopped!!!  Kind Regards,   Susan Elliott

Well, I guess my luck ran out on me of not getting taken by one of these awful sellers. Sent this fellow a money order for $48.05 on Nov 20 for an auth Radar, auth seamore, auth sting, and zodiac horse. I answered an ad of his on BBOT asking about these four items, he sent me prices and we exchanged info. When it came time for him to send refs, he kept sending me to Addies which I couldnt pull his refs up for some reason and told him I neded him to copy and paste them in email for me so I could at least have some, and wasnt sending money until I got those refs. I waited a few days for him to send those refs, and he kept telling me to go to Addies. He gave me the name Bowlingfirst to start with, then Bowl first...Neither one would come up. So I didnt send the money order right away, of course. Then I get an email from him saying I was 10 days late and if I didnt want those items I couldve told him. I emailed him back and told him I was waiting on those refs from him, that it didnt take but a sec to copy and paste them into email. He finally sent me four that was from Addies, stating he was trying to build refs up, that he was on Social Security and a whole lot of other garbage. He told me he had refs on BBOT, and I have seen a few on there, and even recognized one of the refs as being a reg on BBOT, so I accepted those few refs. I sent that money order and when I didnt see anything from those items or hear anything from this fellow by Dec, I emailed him three more times and got no reply. My last email told him that if I didnt hear back from him by 8:00pm my time Sun, Dec 6, I would report him to Traderlist, no response. I even told him these were for my baby girl and if he was ripping me off that it was her he was ripping off. Its bad enough he did this, but at Christmas?? Thats just down right cruel. If this guy needed money that bad, I wouldve given him some to buy Christmas with, he didnt have to rip my baby girl off from her beanie money. Thanks a lot Paul, for taking from a 2 yr old baby girl. I have had another person email me about this guy doing the same thing, and this person states that there is another person they know who has been taken from this guy in the very same way I have. He insist on the buy and seems legit, but as soon as he has your money, he is gone. I told this guy I was puting a trace on that money order to see when it was cashed, but I see he doesnt care about the consequenses. I paid for two to three days shipping, so they had plenty of time to get here if he even planned on sending them. The first address he gave me is as follows........

PAUL DONISCH
SCHAUMBURG, IL 60193

But then he gave me this address when I went to send payent......

"MONET ORDERS ARE GOOD TO ME PLEASE SEND IT TO:
PAUL DONISCH
(P.O. Box)
SCHAUMBURG, IL 60159-0642
THANK YOU WILL SHIP SAME DAY RECEIVED"

Again, THANKS PAUL, for taking my baby girl's money........ A little side note....Whomever this person is may be using someone elses refs and address, but when you go to send payment he may be sending you to the PO Box because the first address isnt his. This is what I feel is happening. So this Paul guy may be a victim himself and someone else is using his info to rip people off. Regardless, it can be found out who owns this PO Box very easily, that will determine if it is Paul or not.

Did the customer have insurance, certified mail or delivery confirmation? If so, there should be a way for you to track the package.  NOTE: USPS does NOT guarantee delivery on standard shipping.

My identity had been used by another. Since finding out, I have filed appropriate reports and both ebay and PayPal have cleared me of any wrong doing. I have a sterling reputation with both of the above mentioned internet based companies and any attempts by another person to tarnish my reputation will be met with the full force my attorneys can muster. I have never dealt with this traderlist company and have never even heard of it. Do not bother me again or there will be harrassment charges brought against you. Interesting how you have an aol email address when you supposedly work for traderlist. I will be contacting traderlist directly to report this harassment. I expect no reply and will give no more replies as I am not the person you dealt with elf trudy.

I checked my Paypal account today regarding my dispute against Paul Donish and I am sending you a copy of my "Details" page. They found in my favor.  Susan Elliott
