I sold an item to this guy and he was a complete cunt to deal with! He payed for the item twice and then without even notifying me contacted his bank who went to paypal and froze my account. I ended up losing money due to issues with paypal and interference with other items I was buying/ selling. When I contacted him regarding it he wrote back with a snarky comment and when I asked him to at least give me positive feedback he replied with sarcasm. Fuck this guy. Too bad he overpaid for the shitty GAP jacket he bought anyways…

superdenim.co.uk is now officially on my "do not buy from" list.
shipping took 2 weeks from UK to Germany, wrong item, no reply to email regarding return - this is like the worst customer service ever.
We can do anything

Dougn brought the problem to their attention.
I finally received a reply - which I doubt would have happened if it weren't for that. I still will avoid ordering xmas gifts through them - I mean - it's still the wrong item and I can't exchange it since it's sold out.

great that this thread is empty

Completely agree. I also believe that scammers fear the wrath of IH and it's global grip…

It pains me to have to add to this thread. Please do yourself a favor and do not waste your time interacting with Joubin as a buyer. He expressed interest in a shirt I have for sale in the beginning of May asking me to hold the item for a day or two so he could get the money together. I didn't here back from him (which is semi-normal but sad, as anyone who sells on Internet forums knows) until May 21. He wanted to know if I still had the shirt for sale. I responded back saying I did and I sent him the invoice info. Days go by and I recieve another offer from another member. I pm Joubin and inform him that I received another offer on the shirt and that if he is still interested in the shirt to let me know. He responded back "yea man, bought another flannel, thanks for your time though!" But, then promptly responded back "you know what? actually, I might grab this. When do i have to let you know by?" Before I even respond back he pm's me "I'll take the shirt!" Then pm's me "ready to send payment, when I receive your message telling me to send, I will! what shipping you use? any tracking? (I'm in canada)" By this time he has already replied in my sales thread that the item is Sold because he is buying it. I reponded back to him with the shipping price with tracking. He responds back saying "I'll take it w.o tracking. 175 right?". I resonded back that it would be $180 to ship it Canada. He responds "ok, sending money now." The he asks "how long does shipping take?". I respond that it could take up to two weeks. Ten minutes or so later he pm's me "fuck! Your card issuer denied this payment. If you have another debit or credit card linked to your PayPal account, please use that. Or take a moment to link a new debit or credit card. Contact your card issuer if you don't know why you were declined." Then 20 minutes later he pm's me "looks like I'll have to for now. I'll try to figure it out and if i do, and you haven't sold it, I'll buy it." Then 1 minute later he pm's me
**"oh wait,
Dear Joubin Alampour,
You sent a payment for $180.00 USD to My Name.
Please note that it may take a little while for this money request to appear in the Recent Activity list on your Account Overview."**
I never recieved any money or another pm from him. I don't know if he is trying to scam me or just pulling my chain. But, I will never attempt to do business with him again. I know this was probably tedious for anyone reading but, I love this forum and its members and I want to save everyone the hassle of dealing with this kid.
Thanks

ChrisI too have had this same type of experience with joubin on multiple items that I have listed for sale. I refrained from posting him in here as I have more hope for the IH Forum and it's members, however once I saw this I felt obligated to reply. I will no longer deal with joubin as a buyer or seller for anything. I am sure he is a very nice person but I don't have time for games and I am sure none of you do either. Sad day on the forum…

Wow, thanks for the heads-up. That's one guy off the list.
