If that is is name. He sold two red/white bikes on eBay, an '87 Ironman to me and a different bike altogether to someone else. The photos were taken in the same place, ads were placed at the same time. The PayPal account was for michelleberkovitch.

I don't think he shipped either bike, his eBay feedback stopped at 4, and he gave me a couple of excuses, "my son died," "I work night shift," and then a couple of updates, "I took it to the post office, it looked funny on top of my car," and "I've got the box and will ship it on my next day off."

PayPal got me $200 of $250 back, his eBay privileges stopped, and his PayPal account is closed. His feedback stopped at 4, so his scam didn't last long.

I knew what was up when I offered to have him take it to a UPS store and ship it using my account, and he said no, he already had it packed. I'd already filed a dispute and upgraded it immediately and PayPal had 4/5 of my money back to me in a couple of days.

It was the last time I bought a bike on eBay.
