As a long time ebay seller who finds it very difficult to find large numbers of rare Jazz to buy and sell, this case raises a blunt issue. Didn’t the heavy hitter Jazz collectors who fell for Nautiluso’s scheme find it very suspicious that
1.) so many super rare LPs suddenly found their way to a German seller living in Brazil maybe),
2.) this seller had less than 100 sales this year of mostly classical LPs,
3.)the seller decided to sell them all at once with minimal photos and info which is not a strategy that helps bidders bid on multiple items in such a short period?
Also – with Ebay being a forum for sales of cars, homes, jewelry etc. isn’t it quite likely that a $150,000 loss for Ebay/Paypal is just another cost of doing business for them – being only a new incident for the rare Jazz LP collectors world – but the type of thing that probably happens often and gets hushed up very quickly. Last comment – all of us who buy and sell on ebay will end up paying for this kind of rip-off when the inevitable ebay/Paypal rate increases come yet again.

My guess is he’s not even in Brazil now, just used it as a base for the scam.

I notice that Nautiluso is not a registered user anymore. No doubt he hasd cancelled his credit card, so EBay/Paypal have no recourse on him. In Brazil he feels safe from any claims.
