Sounds as though he is very lucky to be alive, and there will be a good ending to his ordeal.

Hey????...Come to think of it!
I'm just wondering if my name and address was ever Immortalized on that cullet plaque?.... "Officer"....ssts
| Quote: | | Note:G'day Sandra: .... my 'CONFIRMED SHIPPING ADDRESS' is: BEN THOMPSON, (Edited) STREET, ASHMORE, QUEENSLAND. 4214., AUSTRALIA. Payment has now been completed. Please notify me when this Item has been Shipped. I will be leaving you some very good 'Positive Feedback' after Delivery Sandra. This is the first 'cullet' that I have thought to want to purchase, as I have been building-up a very large and substantial and high-quality 'Marble Collection' now for 3 years. This is one very nice 'cullet'. I have visited your beaut Hometown of Sisterville whilst attending one of her famous 'Marble Shows' 4 years ago. I look forward to receiving this Item and it will immortalise you, as your full name and address will be etched on a plaque beneath the 'cullet' in my Collection. Thank you, bye for now and God Bless from Ben Thompson (User ID: foofighter4214) |

I am now lodging Complaints to eBay and to PAYPAL for a Full Refund. I will be leaving you 'Negative Feedback' also. Very disappointed ! As I am an Aust Law Enforcement Officer, I am going to attempt to initiate a Fraud Charge in your City. From foofighter4214 |

Wow Sandy!! He expected a bit much to get delivery to Austraila within 7 days!! over the ocean to another country!! It takes longer to get anything from Canada, and it isn't even very far from where I live. Customs alone will hold up delievery due to the scary world that we now live in.

yeah, I was pretty blown away when he threatened me with mail fraud after only about 5 days after he paid and I shipped immediately. He mentioned he paid for a 4 to 7 days shipping too. He didn't pay extra. In fact he paid only $3.50 shipping. (what I charged him)
Oh Yeah... Here's what's left of his Feedback
This all happened about 2 years ago BTW.
and by his e-mail he has been collecting "a very large and substantial and high-quality 'Marble Collection' " for about 5 or 6 years now. (I bet he must have more then 40 marbles by now)
p.s.
His full name is Benjamin NICHOLAS THOMPSON |

YIKES! "foofighter".......(don't remember the rest of his ebay name) was the buyer that a whole lot of folks had problems with, including myself. I had posted something on Lou's board a while back (I believe that it's one of the older threads that is gone) asking if anyone else was having problems with shipping to Australia. I had gotten a couple of nasty emails threatening me with negative feedback because he hadn't received my pkg. After looking at this feedback and recognizing some board members, I contacted them. They told me that they had refunded his money after getting the same kind of emails and threats. So I emailed him back and told him that I'd refund his money if the pkg. didn't show up within 21 days and after I'd finished my "investigation". About 2 weeks later, he posted feedback indicating that he'd received it.
The thread that I posted on Lou's, ended up with a number of board members sharing their stories about how they were *scammed* by this person. He threatened a number of people and said that he was connected to law enforcement in Australia. Also there were people that he sold marbles to that never received theirs. At that time, his son & wife were emailing people and telling them that he was in the hospital with a heart attack and that as soon as he was well, that they'd get their pkg.
After a few months, I went back and looked at his ebay profile............and he was no longer a 'registered user'. There were a whole bunch of negatives from angry people who'd bought things from him and never received anything.
EDIT: He's the reason that I no longer ship to Australia. I found out that ebay's seller protection extends to the U.S., Canada & the U.K., but not to Australia.

I don't blame you for not wanting to ship to Austraila because of him. I felt the same way after dealing with him.
Well here's a pic of "Johns" myspace pictures....(notice where it says "MY SON BEN")........
(and note "Jimmy the Roo" and some neighbors cat too!)
