Just wanted to give everybody a heads up that starting in November I purchased a vantage Heuer Carrera box from a listing on Chronotrader by Jason Jindra. If you do a forum search for "Jindra" you will find dozens and dozens of threads up until today selling all kinds of watch related items.

Once I contacted him, he requested that the transaction be completed through his listings on eBid, an alternative to eBay. He claimed this was due to lower seller fees so I obliged. He claims that he is based in the Czech Republic but that I could send a check to his parents house in Georgia. After doing so, he gave me a tracking number for an item shipped from the Czech Republic which reached New York and then attempted delivery in Boston even though I live in Puerto Rico. After that, the tracking info stopped working and after many communications with him over several weeks, he claims that the item was returned to him. To make a long story short, he always says he is too busy to pick it up from the post office or to reship it or give me a refund. So, after three months, and dealing with eBid customer support who eventually suspended his account after investigating the case, I don't have the box or my money back and he has stopped returning emails.

If he sees this post, maybe he will reply with another version of the events but I can assure you that is what happened. Just wanted to warn anybody else who has plans to purchase any of his many items.

Not sure about the forum rules here but perhaps a moderator should pin this to the top to alert others so that they don't fall victim as well.

The email he is currently using on the forums is jjjjindra@gmail.com

Best Regards

Simon
