"I placed an order from Stuff 2 Buy USA (www.stuff2buyusa.com) on 2/21/07 for a Pioneer BDP-HD1 Blu Ray player ($1344) based on a search through Google Base (beta). The site looked legit, and the price was only $50 lower than the next competitor. I searched here at resellerratings and other places and could find any bad reports about the comapny. In fact, I found nothing at all.

I paid ~$1400 through Paypal for 2 day delivery. Several days go by and I decide to give the "support" number a call. What I get is some guy named James Powell/Richardson on his cellphone! ***-***-****. He says hello like I'm calling his home (which it turns out I was).

Now the "company" is located in Fairfax, VA but the area code of the cell phone is from Richmond, VA.

At this time, I knew I was in trouble. Another search yielded these "new" links:

Apparently this is another of these twenty-named companies. James' business also goes by "Best Bargains USA". Evidentally this guy operates out of some dumpy house sending junk with tracking numbers.

When you file a claim with Paypal he issues a tracking number and sends a roll of toilet paper or some crap to your house to appease the ever-clever Paypal folks.

The bottom-line for me is that he has $1400 of my money, no longer answers his phone or email, so I am out the money (or so he thinks).

Lucky, I have a sister-in-law who is a lawyer in Fairfax, VA and she is going to help me nail his ass.

I placed a useless claim with Paypal, IC3 (also useless), and I've posted this warning on several sites.

I sent one email to Google Base and his site was removed VERY promptly from their listing.

You've been warned!!!"
