Avoid buying from David Wombacher/Camera Hunter!!!

[ClayEarth]

More than THREE MONTHS ago I ordered and paid for an item from him via eBay, confirmed by my bank, Mr Wombacher of Camera Hunter and PayPal, yet nothing has arrived. He has also never had the decency to reply to any of my emails. Someone like him should be stopped from ripping people off. We need to follow any possible avenues towards putting an end to this gross miscarriage of justice. It is more difficult for me because I am based far away in Cape Town, South Africa.

Welcome to RR.
Is this the website?

First off, have you contacted ebay and PayPal about this matter?

I see that you have already left a review here at RR. (Present rating 0/10-six month, 2.83/10-lifetime) The BBB report also shows this to be a rather poor company.

Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaints. The company has resolved some complaints presented by the Bureau, however, the company did not respond to other complaints.

You can try and file a complaint with the BBB here, https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/GetStarted.aspx.

Since this company has not responded to some complaints this may not help. However, the BBB will keep you updated. NOTE: That the BBB is not a legal entity, but will work as a mediator and will usually complete their process within 30 days.

If the BBB results are not to your satisfaction, or if you choose to now, then you can file a complaint with either the Washington Attorney General's Office or contact the Pierce County Sheriff's Office. I would suggest the Sheriff's office if they handle problems like this in that county. This appears to be Mr. Wombacher's home address and can also be found in the WhoIs info for his website and has been confirmed with a reverse phone number look-up using Whitepages.com(click links). County info confirmed using USPS Mailing Industry Information.

Good Luck.

EDIT:
Google Earth confirms that that is a residential address.
