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.

I don't think the disputes section is in use anymore or the moderators are letting stuff go. Grievances get aired out in the general forum now. I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked down yet.

With regards to the e-mail system if you put any kind of e-mail information in there or a phone # the e-mail will be suppressed. I was trying to help a member out by getting him a copy of a manual I had and I found from observing the conversation the messages were blocked where I put my e-mail or phone #. That could be part cause of the e-mails not getting through.

I don't know if this works with the pay now options when buying from an ad but when you are corresponding with a member you can check the Email Delivery in the Inbox on Audiogon. You can see if a message has been read or delivered etc etc. After signing in on the Main Page, go into the Inbox and then in the lower left corner you will see Email Delivery.
